Subject:a pair of small vases with painted figures
Posted By: Sam R Fri, Oct 11, 2019 IP: 24.236.80.43

I have a pair of small vases that have a man dancing with a frog. approx. 4.5"H 4"D
I hope to know the meaning of the marking, age and any info one would care to share.
Thank You

Apocryphal marking reads,
乾隆年製 - Made in the years of Qianlong reign (1736-95)
The painted figure depicts Liu Hai - a minor immortal from the Three Kingdoms period -playing with the three legged-toad.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Hi Sam,
Based purely on your pic's I would submit that your vases date from late republic to early PROC.

IMO based on pics late 1940's to 1960's.
