History
This vase was recently inherited from my mother. I am not sure if she purchased this when she lived overseas back in the late 1950's and early 1960's. She seemed to really treasure it. I have had some Chinese friends tell me that the mark underneath represents the "Qianlong" period, but I have also been told that it was very common for the PROC to replicate many antiques. If this a likely a reproduction from the late 50's-early 60's, is it worth anything significant? Thank you.

Re: Chinese "Qianlong" Floor Standing Vase
The ones with inscription on the side are generally dated within the inscription and tend to actually not be 1950-70's examples, but date to the late 19th through early 20th century.
Re: Chinese "Qianlong" Floor Standing Vase
Thank you. So, this might be a little older than I first thought.
Do you think that it would be worth my while to get this vase appraised professionally, or is it likely worth maybe a couple hundred dollars, if that?
