Title: QianLong enamel Vase replica made around 1900?
Post by: daxu on November 03, 2013, 12:42:08 PM

Hi,

My wife bought this today.

The mark says "Da Qing Qian Long Nian Zhi", but I think it is more a replica made around 1900 period (it feel fairly old, also a genuine one will be extremely expensive as well).

Anyone has any thoughts?

Any crazing ?  Do you feel any brush strokes?  Is it heavy or not?

it is heavy and I guess I can feel some brush strokes.

I didn't see any noticeable crazing at the moment.

Pretty sure its just a "done in the style of" replica !!  I don`t think its even that old !! Is anything on the bottom of that base it sits on ?? It does have one doesn`t it ?? Thought I saw one !!

Sorry, what you mean by the bottom of the base it sits on?

I saw the mark but that is all for me.

It appears to have a separate base that the jar sits on !!

Modern, probably made in the last few decades

the quality of the mark is a giveaway, isn't it, as is that more European style gilt finial. Might have been made in Hong Kong or Macau and shipped over here en masse.
