Re: Oriental Vase
The vase has been locked up in a safe for sometime.
Re: Oriental Vase
impossible to give a value on without a few more things....one is a crystal clear photo of the mark on the bottom of the vase, a picture of the inside of the vase and the other thing is to handle the piece. Chinese porcelain is very confusing to the average person. Often a piece will have a mark from an earlier era. This looks like a Macau style piece that was mass produced during the 1970's check this link and try to compare the mark on your vase to others. http://www.gotheborg.com/marks/macaustyle.shtml Unfortunately a mark is not always a definitive answer when it comes to Chinese porcelain and pottery because many later pieces have marks from earlier periods. Touching is the only way to know. I would suggest finding a nice reputable dealer in Chinese porcelain and paying for the apraisal. Or perhaps sending crystal cleaer photographs to Christies and asking for an auction estimate. The photographs need to be crystal clear because each little line in the mark means something!
