<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kentworld, post: 9758756, member: 35&quot;]&quot;What makes the vase so special is the Yongzheng mark on its base. The six-character mark indicates that the porcelain was created in the imperial kiln during the Yongzheng Emperor&#039;s rule in the 18th century. The Chinese emperor only reigned for 13 years, which means a small number of pieces were made during this period.</p><p><br /></p><p>The vase is also rarer than others created during this period because the mark is in bronze script. According to Freeman&#039;s | Hindman, only three such examples of this are known to exist, including one in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, there&#039;s your answer.&nbsp; Mark and period, made in the imperial kiln, rare glaze, short-lived dynasty, and rare mark.&nbsp; I&#039;m thinking it has likely gone home to China.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
