Title: Baluster Jar
Post by: Lainey on May 03, 2023, 09:52:20
Hi, I am hoping someone can give me help regarding a Baluster Jar I have. I have been looking on the internet but am getting a little confused. I want to know if this item is worthy of a valuation or is it just a fake. If I could have someone just look at it for me I would very much appreciate that. Lainey

This seems to be a temple jar with missing lid.
Basically, this is more recent, late 20th century, perhaps, by the painting style.
The mark is a spurious Tongzhi reign mark. Tongzhi marks never looked this way. It probably is not worth having it valued as it is not an antique.
