Ornate Chinese vase with blue and white building scene, brown flared lip region and brown base region. Chinese characters under base. Chinese Blue and White Ornate Chinese vase with blue and white bulding scene, brown flared lip region and brown base region. 199 mm. 1860s
Good. Unknown age, but definitely reasonably early, possibly a lot earlier than suggested? If anyone knows Chinese markings they may be able to ascertain the correct era? 65 mm section of outer upper flared lip was flaked, this has been roughly filled and coloured to blend it in, at its worst, this comes down 7 mm, but for the most part less than that. Little flake on opposite lip edge. Couple of hairlines to base edge, one is from a small impact flake. Some crazing which is a little discoloured in places. Quite a great item in my mind, different to the usual Chinese wares that you see. Grade: 6.7 Estimate: $75 - 100
