Re: 18 century CHINESE BLUE CELADON VASE
It's unlikely 18th century, the Chinese are notorious for producing reproductions from previous Dynasties right down to the marking. Such pieces really need a physical examination to determine their authenticity.
Re: 18 century CHINESE BLUE CELADON VASE
Isn't celadon porcelain a green color, hence its Chinese name means “greenish porcelain.”?
