Not sure if this is a contemporary Chinese product, or Japanese. The decoration overall gives an impression of th latter, although single elements are Chinese. The bottom cannot be very old if Chinese.

The bottom of this vase is modern even for Japanese, but I think it is Chinese and an copy of late Qing.

No Stan, I think the foot rim is wrong for Qing dynasty, any period. The rounded connection from foot rim to foot interior is 20th century. My personal view.

I agree with you about the bottom, I was referring to the rest of the vase, the decoration.

Thank you both for your knowledge.
I thought that the vase was a bit newish myself.
