Hello, what do you think about this vase please? could it be a genuine antique?
Thank you.
Fred
I have doubts, but this doesn't mean it could not be old. It is just two things...One is the color, this specific tone of green, which is unlikely to appear on any Chinese antiques, I think. The other is the animals, whatever they depict, in the lower part. Would be quite unusual for Chinese.
The figures above are very crude and probably would only be used on burial ware. On the other hand, the bottom looks old, used, which may be unlikely if something is made to be interred. I would suggest you check also SE Asia for the presence of such wares, it might be antique but not Chinese.
Thank you Peter, you are right.
