These vases are about 6" high and made of fairly delicate porcelain. The painting is very pretty, lots of gold and colors. I don't read chinese and was wondering if anyone who did might know anything about them. I like them but would love to know more about them. Are they Imari?
Thanks!

Zhongguo Chao Cai - "China, Swatow, Enamels". Probably 1970s.
Thanks Wexval -- I really appreciate it!
Wexval is awesome!
Well thank you Racer, that was very kind.
I would have said not Imari but they are very pretty. I would agree with Wexval by also adding oe 1980's? They certainly have the colours synonimous with that decade. Not being able to read the Chinese then I have no idea.
Question for those Chinese amongst us ot readers of, are languages like Cantonese and Mandarrin which are province based languages, are they written as well? If an exporter sends out a vase like this to the Western market what type of written Chinese langage would they use, I'm just interested... :)
Lovely item Jean, you have some nice things...
Thanks Anne,
I appreciate the input and compliment and I Love your peacock plate. So beautiful.
My wife and I vote CHINESE. [;>)
Wexval was correct. I found a picture of the signature. Here's the link, scroll down until you see the picture (it's very far down btw). http://www.gotheborg.com/marks/20thcenturychina.shtml
It falls under: Zhongguo Chaozhou (Swatow) Zhongguo Chao Cai - "Enameled ware from Chao Zhou, China". The area is North West of Guangdong area, previously better know as part of Swatow. Late 20th century.
The decor is called 'thousand flowers' painted with enamels on fine porcelain, the Chinese version of the glass millefiori decor. I would have thought earlier, Republic 1912 to 1949,

I checked my reference books, and it is a mark with elements of both pre 1949 and post 1949. So I will leave the Gotheborg dating as he stated.
again wexval is absolute correct ! this is ABSOLUTELY NOT a republic period glazing
