      Its beautiful !! & a nightmare to to date !! I had the same problem with a piece I have , different people different answers , the only way is possibly a museum or youll have to pay for a professional ;-)) good luck :-))

      iagree i think it is beautiul to, and you are right i am in a nightmare ,haha
      apraisels are crazy expensive i found out,figures.haha
      talking to people i have 17 cent to 19 cent.those are a lot of years,hmmmm
      i did find a almost identical in a auction house in california it looked 95% the same only some of the verry top banner and top was different.

      they had theirs labeld as Qian Long period- Qing dynasty 1736-1796. 17.5"H x 11"D (12 Lbs. weight)
      mesurments and weight are about right.
      all i know is that i love it but wish i could know something about it
      nobody is allowed to touch it.lol
      if somebody breaks it they are moving out with the pices in their hand,haha

      very clear photos would help a lot. if you don't have the right camera equipment, maybe a friend could take the pics for you. there are several online sites which will respond to questions regarding Asian ceramics. this looks to be a really beautiful piece and might be worth your while...
    7. eve14, 10 years ago
      i thought pictures where clear ,no?
      the not so clear one is facing into the jar and lid
      but i can repost with better pictures,?

      The trouble is with oriental china is that they made the vases & other pottery in the style of the older pottery, not to decieve but in respect of the ancients, some they even mark with the old marks like the one I have listed....
      they have always done this so it makes it a mare to i.d
      especially just by photos !!
      If they were mine and someone broke them they'd be hobbling out with sharp pieces up their arse...... lol.. ;-) like I said before - good luck
      The real experts will like to see and feel the objects before they'll tell you anything!!

      I could give you a preliminary dating for free: Daoguang period (1820 to 1850). You have to give me high quality photos and $$$ for more information.

      Kidding.... enjoy.

    13. shrine shrine, 10 years ago

    14. eve14, 10 years ago
