Large 18 " Chinese "Qianlong" Bas-Relief Vase With Brocade and Silk Box

[mikelv85]

This piece was a gift from my sister. She purchased it at auction about a week ago. I've never seen such a large vase in this type of box before. I was wondering about the style and if it has any age or value beyond decorative. It's quite heavy and has what I believe is a raised Qianlong mark on the bottom. Thanks for any help and expertise. -Mike-

I am sorry to say it looks like a  replica from the 20th century. You could type in google image : ''qianlong mark an period vase alain truong'' to see the difference in quality.  Almost everything you'll find with a qianlong mark is fake.

Thanks ssbill... I didn't have high expectations for this one. Even the box looked contemporary, but as a gift it's the thought that counts. Thanks again. -Mike-
