Title: Qing Dynasty YongZheng Emperor Flower and Paint Jar?
Post by: chinaknowledge97 on May 06, 2019, 05:39:17
I recently found this flower and plant jar with this a Qing Dynasty ancient seal on it. I've been stuck as I cant find anything like it. Its got some beautiful cranes and peonies that are painted and glossed on it.

I've found similarities in some things, but cannot find anything with an ancient seal, I've only found normal script seals that are painted with blue ink, no red stamp seals.

I think it is a Qing Dynasty famille rose flower and paint jar from the YongZheng era (????????

If you know what it is or know of anything similar to it let me know!

This is from the 20th century, I'm afraid. The shape of the jar/vase is not a traditional Chinese shape, the painting style is 20th century, and the cranes look more Japanese.
Marks of the Yongzheng reign are usually in 'kaiti' character style, not 'zhuanti', and the few that exist are four character marks, all hand-written or carved, none are stamped. That means this is an apocryphal mark.
