Please help me identify the period / type of this butterfly jar, if it's a real antique or not. My late partner said he bought it at a warehouse sale 1990s in Shanghai in the 1990s, and wasn't sure how old it really is.
Thanks!
This is another 20th century item, maybe a little older than the other one. Here too there is a (four character) Qianlong mark.
The colors seem to be of the chemical type, not the older mineral ones. In addition, antique items do usually have a real foot rim rather than just a recessed base area.
No wonder it felt a bit "new"... Thank you so much!!!
