Dear Peter and All,
I have a yellow vase with 'emboss' bird and flowers on it. And it has a Yongzheng year mark. This design is very strange to me. Is it the same period or more recent? Thank you.
Regards,
Taufan
This is a moping vase the mark is an apocryphal Yongzheng mark, the yellow color is not an imperial yellow, it would have been a lighter yellow and there appears to be no age signs, I thing this is also late 20th century.
Meiping vase, not moping, I hate the automatic spell checker.
Its ok Stan, but for me the spell checker is somewhat quite useful. :-)
Again, the yellow in the pic rather more orangey. I think It about 10-15% more orangey with little reddish. Because all pics are taken at night with the help of only one artificial light.
Yea Iam with you too about the age. But the question is: is there any design similar to this in Yongzheng era? Because I have never seen one like this before. That is the reason for me buying it. Weird isn't it? But now my view has changed totally :-)
(In day time is very difficult to connect to this site:-( )
Oh yes I forgot to say, it has crackles almost the whole body. Very small crackles.
Here still managed to take a pic in shade. The color is exact.
Hi T Chan, much better photo, I think a hands on inspection would be the best way to authenticate your vase, the inside would be a big factor for authentication, lets see what Peter says.
New pics taken:-) the color is 100% the same now.
To me the colors are modern chemical colors from the late 20th century.
Yes, I have never seen such a design in Qing period. And now I know that the color is wrong too. Thanks Peter. I try to get rid of this if possible..
