Thank you for the instructions. Attached are better pictures I hope

 

Very nice vase. Could you post a photo of the bottom, and let us know the height? I’m sure some will chime in and it helps to provide information.

 

It’s about 7”x3.5”

 

Nice vase, hipster. But what happened to the colour? It started out as celadon and then it turned blue?

 

Alexandrite Porcelain?
Hipster, was Just throwing a bit of humor out there.

It is a nice looking vase, but which is it green or blue? I think it is trying to be Song, but highly doubt it. Others will come along with better information and hopefully a translation. Just a note the bottom bumps are called spurs which would date it at a minimum pre 1900’s unless a reproduction. Wait for the more informed than I.

(After uploading a photo, please click on “Full Image”. We all appreciated it and more will see it. Note: You can click edit and still hit “full image” now.)

 

Is it porcelain? Usually, the characters are not scribed into the body, but painted on. Cool, but a pic of the base might help.

 

Never heard of alexandrite except in glass.

 

well I have to apologize for my daft sense of humor, I thought I made it clear I was joking, due to the photos posted in different colors.

a base was posted, just not full image.




…hang in there hipster,

 

OK, I missed the base photo. So, porcelain. Beyond that, I got nuttin' !
