Subject:Re: Dayazhai Porcelain Vases

I believe the original 1894 pattern had better formed, more realistic wisteria clusters and seals with greater definition, as seen in the first image here, from a Weishaupt collection catalog. The yellow ruyi scepter-head diaper also is something I've seen on Republic-era porcelains with other decoration. The Dayazhai-marked bowls shown here were sold by a reputable dealer with simply a 20th century dating.
So in sum, I believe these vases are at least Republic-period, but possibly a bit later, perhaps 1950s.
Best regards,
Bill H.
