Title: Chinese polychrome vase assistance
Post by: montezmario on Oct 27, 2014, 04:38:06
Can anybody offer an opinion and translation of the marks on this vase?  Picked it up earlier today cause I liked how it looked and it seems old to me. It measures 9.5"H, 3.5" mouth and 4.5" at its widest. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

The red mark is a backward spurious Qianlong mark, the crackle glaze was made that way, not from age, not sure what the other black marks are, need pictures of the whole bottom  at an angle also a picture of the whole vase and any age signs or close up pictures of the design, this will help to determine age.

The black lines are printed, I would say this is made in the 2nd half of the 20th century.
