Vase - 14cm tall.

Vase - 14cm tall.

I saw this vase yesterday and was astounded byt the quality and weight. I have had a look at 'leaf' marks and the only one I can find is the Kangxi period mark.
The vase is 14cm talland has a very small opening at the top - approx 3mm.
Has anyone any ideas please?

Meiping inspired shape
by: Tim

Look at the meiping vases of the Ming and Qing dynasties
and you'll see where the potter has drawn his inspiration from.
This is a contemporary piece inspired by a traditional shape.

Hi, marks can be copied. This one is located off-center, which is rarely the case with traditional Chinese porcelain.

The unconventional banana leaf decoration, shape and foot rim all point to a modern production date.
