Antique Chinese Sang De Boeuf Vase, Ming Mark On Base - Xuande
Item History & Price
Ming mark on base of either Xuande (as advised by an auctioneer) but... I think they didn't look properly and it matches more to either Jiaqing mark and/or Xianfeng mark from the Qing Dynasty.
So - a puzzle! Challenge?
Never the less, this used to be a beautiful vase - a terrible person tried to convert it into a lamp base and has probably been imprisoned for this offence since!
Does this vase / base still have a value?Will anyone out there love it? Give it a purpos...e once again?
All I am able to confirm is that the red glaze is of high quality and has genuine and significant age to it - genuine firing marks on the outside and an obscene amount of old dirt, dust and grime that came out of the vase when turned upside down. but no cracks or repairs (I haven't cleaned it though).
I will package this item securely.
