Features
- Type: Rare Octagonal zun shaped vase
- Origin: China
- Period: 20th century, most likely 1900-1930
- Decoration: Blue and white underglaze with traditional dragon and foliate patterns
- Mark: Apocryphal Kangxi (大清康熙年製, Da Qing Kangxi nian zhi) reign mark on the base
- Condition: Flawless, no chips or cracks. Very small rust spots (Antique Indicator: On older porcelain - and some well-made reproductions - rust spots are often taken as a sign of authenticity and natural aging, not as a flaw.)
Highlights
- Highly collectible octagonal zun shape with flared mouth and square foot
- Rich cobalt blue painting of dragons, floral, and geometric patterns
- Clear, vivid glaze inside and out
- Marked on the base with an apocryphal Kangxi six-character reign mark, typical for decorative wares of the 20th century
- Perfect for collectors of Chinese porcelain or as a decorative accent in any interior
Provenance
- This vase carries a Kangxi mark, but based on expert appraisal, it is 20th century in origin and not from the Qing dynasty Kangxi period. The mark is apocryphal, meaning it pays homage to the famous era and style.
- Based on the appraiser’s description and established trends in Chinese porcelain, the most probable period for this vase’s origin is between 1900 and the 1940s.
