Japanese porcelain vase

By jhoke2011, 28 February, 2011
Description

This Item was bought by my 9 yo son with his own money at an estate sale. Other items at the sale included Silver and 4 fur coats ranging between $10,000 and $15,000.  This is hand painted and has what appears to be gold plating in it.  I can tell the gold is not painted on.  I'm not sure what the words in the stamp say.  This is a very beautiful peice.  I thought it looked like a good investment for him.  I was sure at the least we would be able to get his $30 back out of it.  Please help identify this vase and maybe you could tell us where the best market would be.  Should we sell it on ebay?

Re: Japanese porcelain vase

Your Floor vase is actually Chinese, the marking reads  Qianlong Nian Zhi "Qianlong Period Make", but it's a fake mark. the vase itself was probably made by the Wa Lee company about 1960. Similar vases sell on ebay for about $150.00.
