Seeking Genuine Antique Ceramic Vessel

Category
Ceramics and Porcelains
Condition
Excellent
Description

I recently paid $150 for this hand-painted ceramic vase, only to discover it’s a modern replica. Its crackled glaze finish and vibrant scenes of riders and figures had me mesmerized, but now I’m on the hunt for an original piece with true historical value.

Could anyone help me with:

Identifying the likely era and region for authentic ceramics with similar motifs

Estimating the market value of a genuine vessel in this style

Verifying authenticity through maker’s marks, glaze characteristics, or other craftsmanship details

Recommending trusted appraisal resources or experts to consult

Your insights and expertise would be incredibly valuable as I continue my quest for a true antique treasure. Thank you in advance!
