Truly you are a "Asian Arts Forums" National Treasure! Thank You once again for this insight into the Origin of this Chinese Vase! If I had to go by my observation I was thinking it was a "Republic Era" Piece. Its much better then I thought and will do some Studing up on this Literati Artist. Most Appreciated! Sincerely, Gary k

Thanks Again for your Insightful Reply! Do you think this is an Original Piece by this Artist Ren Huanzhang or a later Copy? Lots of Copies I am finding out there! Gary K
