Was thinking about buying this vase late Qing?
Missing lid I now.
Thank you in advance.
Prefer Pepsi myself.

Hi Calder, the mark says made during the great Qing dynasty, the mark is a little off centered which is usually not a good sign for period, a nice looking vase though, I would like to see the lions or what ever they are on the sides, do you have a picture of that, thanks calder.

It looks like the mouth of the vase has been cut off.

Hi Stan-  I don't  have photos of the side - thank you for your knowledge.

Shelley is right, this was cut off. Also, please note the (artificially) darkened foot rim. Made sometimes in the 20th century.
