I think this is a mid 20th or possibly later copy of a c1900 vase. A period one would fetch about $700-$1000 but the detail on this isn't quite right

Chenghua mark but later. Chenghua " reproductions " were commonly produced during the late 19th, early 20th.


I've been discussing these marks with other experts recently, including those with identification websites, and it's thought that many items catalogued several decades ago as Ming dynasty were in fact late 19th century. The internet has brought together collectors and historians and helped rewrite the guide books in some instances.
Some still makes mistakes and date things by the mark only but you will find many auction houses now not trying to be too specific and just describing the mark.

Looks like a crackle glaze from late 20th century.

I have to agree with icedgold10 on this !! The crazing is artificial and done with a chemical process,,not with natural aging !!

Completely aside from the vase being discussed here, I wouldn't necessarily use a "crackled finish" as being an indicator of a piece lacking age. The glazing technique has been used as a decorative component for centuries, dating back to the Song Dynasty.

So, we are not all agreed here Rauville?

Oh I don`t know about that !! Rauville was reminding me not to use the crazing as the only indicator of age !!   I didn`t !!
