Subject:Help to identify Blue and White Crackleware
Posted By: CV Mon, Nov 06, 2017 IP: 109.77.214.51

I am including a sleeve vase simply because I am convinced that they must have very similar origins (and the same sense of humour) wonder if anyone can tell me anything?

The crackle-glaze baluster vase with apocryphal Ming Chenghua reign mark and B&W sleeve vase with four-character faux mark of the Qing Kangxi Emperor and figures in reserves on a cracked ice ground both appear to be late 19th-early 20th century, circa the Guangxu period (1875-1908).

Best regards,

Bill H.

Thanks Bill and the apocryphal marks are another point of similarity...I was hoping they were sufficiently truthful(I had no idea the sleeve vase was naughty enough to be "Ming"!) to pin it down a little more.

I love the humour in these two, regardless, both are slightly damaged, but who cares as long as I keep them?
