Ming Wucai Porcelain Vase ~

[chowdhury]

Hello.....I have an antique chinese vase with the ming wanli peroid marks 1573-1620 and wanted someone with more expertize with these vases to look at it and tell me more about it.  Its 24" high and weighs about 17 pounds, its huge and made in 3 round (gu form) sections with orange and green Dragons chasing a Flaming Pearl.  Has 6 rows of Flanges around the bottom and middle sections and ming wanli peroid marks at the top of the front side and pin sized rust marks and the glaze inside is rippled and the bottom has ground in stains that make it look dark and old.......thanks for any input.  P.S.... I tried to put several photos up but they must have been too big and it refused them then I tried just one and it still wouldnt let me so if you have any idea for me to be able to show the pictures of the Vase please let me know what to do.
