Title: Jar with powder blue ground and gold decoration

Hi Peter, here is a recent find at an antique shop, I believe it is late Qing Guangxu period, it stands at 25.4 cm tall and is of high quality the decoration is nicely painted in gold, the bottom is a little wavy could it be Qianlong, the mark on the bottom makes me think Kangxi revival in the Guangxi period.

Guangxu. Good find. I think that it has been put to use as a lamp is the only reason that the gilt is preserved nicely.  Most such items have left only perhaps 50% or less of it left due to handling.

(Please also compare this blue glaze to the other one. This type is more frequent.)
