Subject:Need help identifying Chinese Vase
Posted By: Roger Fri, Nov 25, 2022 IP: 2600:1006:b145:6626:
Hi all!,
Just bought this old vase. I would greatly appreciate any help translating the script on the side and possibly the faint base mark. Thanks much!

I'm sure I.Nagy will benefit both of us. I can't see all the characters in the red base-mark, but the last two lines on the left of the inscription seem to read "Made by Gao Mosheng (高茉盛) in the JiWei (己未) year, which I believe probably was 1979 on the 60-year astrological cycle. Only problem is there's no potter by this name found anywhere in China.

The truth is out there somewhere.
