Long Description
It is an old Chinese vase with a painted picture. It has lots of "gold" paint which makes it hard to take good pictures. There is a Chinese character at the bottom but I cannot take pictures of it as the flash in the camera makes the gold decoration shine too bright. I will try outside! The rest of the paint has lots of orange, yellows and ligth blue. There is a scene with 13 characters. One of those characters seems to be a woman and is being carried by two men. The vase is not round but has 6 sides.
History
My grand-father was a French antique dealer who was given or bought this vase. It was already an antique at the time. It was passed on to my dad and then to me.
