<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SandyD, post: 306136, member: 6127&quot;]Hi, all. Well the chinese antiques man came back. Please make what you will of his reply.&nbsp;&nbsp; As follows:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;hi again. They are straightforward Kangxi revival 19th century with a 4 character Kangxi mark. This is usually one of the first things people learn when getting into Chinese porcelain,.</p><p>For starters the shape, there is nothing wrong with the shapes and they are not modern. 5 of the vases are what is commonly referred to as &#039;sleeve&#039; vases, the other vase is what is referred to as a &#039;yenyen&#039; vase. All very typical of the 19th century and earlier.</p><p>The markings are very typical of 19th century Chinese porcelain. The four character mark is a &#039;four character&#039; Kangxi mark, for the emperor Kangxi circa 1700. The four character mark is almost never featured on porcelain from the Kangxi period unless it is within a square, and its very typically seen on 19th century Chinese porcelain. The double circle mark on the other pieces is also very typical of 19th century Chinese porcelain, largely inspired by the Kangxi period where there was an aversion to using the emperors mark to sign porcelain, often just using the double ring.</p><p>If you would like some further confirmation, just search on eBay, there is always loads of similar examples. Please just search these item numbers and see the sold items :</p><p>382242314528</p><p>382263298789</p><p>222634546177</p><p>382208431827</p><p>One thing to keep in mind, condition is key. If the vase has a crack or large chip, the price can decrease by 5-10x.</p><p>Best wishes.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks all. I hope you find this intetesting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
