Chinese Nanking Porcelain Crackle Pairs.

Hello everyone. I have China porcelain vases ,my opinion that made in 20th.century[1950 -1970..],but not sure ,your opinion about vases.6 inches tall. Thank you very much.

 

Agree, the lower left character of the marks is zao (made), can't make out the rest.

 

Why do you say Nanking?

 

I have seen similar on you tube, I'm not expert ,maybe I'm wrong. What is your opinion? Thank you.

 

They are commonly considered to come from Nanking (probably shipped from) after being made at Jingdezhen. Kind of like Staffordshire, shipped from Liverpool. Jingdezhen is the main region of ceramics in China.

 

The vases like this we can call ''Nanjing''-that is name city of China.

 

It's the same city, Nanking is the historic name for Nanjing.

 

Yes of course.

 

What is your opinion about age???Thank you.

 

I agree with your dating, post war up to about the 70's.

 

Sound good.Thank you.

 

Is mark"成化年造" I do not think is from the Qing dynasty’s, ChengHua fabricate year.
young master fight scenery…

 

Archaistic style depicting warriors and typically have those pseudo-bronze bands etc. beneath the shoulder and often an incised mark on a brown background which is supposed to be that of Chenghua or Kangxi. I believe they've been made since the late 19th to early 20th C. but I suspect that yours are very recent and, judging by the number one sees, they are still in production.

See mark 612 and others:

Thank you very much. That is full answer so useful.

 

Any time I see a matched pair in perfect shape I am suspicious of age.

 

Those vases well made ,I liked.
