I have had this little vase for a long time. I believe it was once one of a pair but I only have the one. I was told it was valuable and had been given offers on it years ago by a dealer in San Francisco and from a dealer on an eBay forum. I declined until I could learn more about it. Now several years later here I am preparing to downsize to a much smaller house.

Vase is very fine porcelain and only a few inches tall (don't have exact size at the moment but well under 6 inches). It is translucent and painting is very fine.

Looks like some type of republic period eggshell porcelain vase. Circa 1930's. I really can't tell the difference between newer ones Vs the old ones. The apocryphal Qianlong mark seems like most marks I have seen from the period. It looks like a good looking vase to me.

20th century, but not sure from when. There seems a lot of such good quality items on the market these days.
