Hi Mohammed,
I had a look at the closeup pictures, but they only confirm my original view.
The blue color is too bright, the faces (especially the eyes) are painted in a 20th century style.
Three more points that tell us the vase is new or recently made.
1. The double circle looks perfect - that means the ends of the circles meet perfectly and it is impossible to see where the circle line started and ended. With hand-painted traditional porcelain there will usually be some uneven depth of the color, etc.
2. The foot rim looks brown in your pictures. This type of color is usually a sign that it was treated to make it look older than it is. The foot is the single most important item for judging age.
3. Again the shape, as already mentioned. The shape is deviating from that which antiques usually have.

Please be aware that the decoration on the should looks especially like it was made more recently, I would guess this is late 20th century at the most, I'm afraid.

Yes! Peter you are right.
This one is a new one.
1,The blue colour is too light.
2,The white is too shine even if under strong sun.

Hello,
There are no closeup pictures, so it is difficult to see details clearly, but the vase shape and colors don't seem right. Colors are too bright.
