My Mom has this vase that she's curious to identify. None of the antiques shops we've taken it too so far have been able to identify it and I haven't had much luck finding similar markings online. Any information/reference would be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
889 Posted February 15, 2017 at 11:04 PM Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 at 11:04 PM It says this was made in the Ming Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Xuande. These marks are nearly always found on pieces that were in fact not made in the Ming Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Xuande. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
