Re: Rare,Very Old Chinese Porcelain Hand Painted Colorful...
they are Either 19th century famille vert vases ( just a name for objects that have a lot of green in them) or early 20th century copies of those vases. They might be worth 1000's of dollars. I would advise to get them apraised.

Thank You.
Re: Rare,Very Old Chinese Porcelain Hand Painted Colorful...
I would be somewhat cautious about getting these appraised. Â They look like they were made to look old (and deceive the buyer) by adding excessive amounts of dirt to the foot rim, lid, and top of the vases. Â If you look at how the dirt has been applied, it is fairly easy to see that it looks too evenly distributed and uniform. Â Also, close up shots of the glaze look to be overapplied and show very few signs of the age necessary for a vase from the 19th century. Â Just my opinion, don't want to see you spend a lot of money to be dissappointed. Â
