Antique Chinese vase

By antiquite-denis, 30 May, 2008
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.
