Subject:Inscription and seals on a large vase
Posted By: Sally Mon, Feb 04, 2019 IP: 79.76.18.113 Hi, this phoenix vase is about 56 cm tall, I think it is probably 20th century or possibly late 19th. I'd be very interested to know more about the inscription and seals. From memory the mark on the base is Chien Lung but not period. |

Posted By: Bill H Wed, Feb 06, 2019 The gotheborg.com website gives a dating of 1990-95 for vases with this four-character mark of "Made during the Qianlong Reign" (乾隆年製 - Qianlong Nian Zhi). The pattern is called "One Hundred Birds Admiring (or worshiping) the Phoenix". The quality is good. |

Posted By: Sally Thu, Feb 07, 2019 Thanks again Bill. Sorry, I mistakenly attached the wrong mark. This is the actual mark on the base. |

Posted By: Bill H Fri, Feb 08, 2019 This is just another permutation of a faux Qianlong mark, reading "Made during the Qianlong Reign of the Great Qing Dynasty" (Da qing Qian-long nian zhi - 大清乾隆年製). |

Posted By: Sally Sun, Feb 10, 2019 Thanks Bill, I've had a look at Gotheborg and what you say absolutely checks out. The mark does have gilding in and around it. The 1990s mark is on this pair of lampbases. I have another vase which I think is republic or later, also with a red and gilt mark, which I will post separately. |
