<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JayBee, post: 441369, member: 9259&quot;]Red stamp (chop) on the bottom reads &quot;Zhong Guo taoci&quot; (Chinese porcelain) and the vase is a common cheap piece. The inscription is a poem (鹤语记春秋/松柏长岁月, alluding to longevity.) The crane is a symbol of longevity and long years in Chinese art. It was hand painted by some unskilled artisan at some porcelain producing factory. These are common in China and you can get them for 2 or 3 bucks at popular markets and even state shops.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
