Chinese Vase ID and age

Not mine but wanting a second opinion. Chinese yeh? I’ve seen this motif before but can’t think of what it’s called. It’s a wise man and his disciples or followers I believe. It’s called 1,000 this or 100 that I think. Owner claimed it’s over 100 years old. The base and rim make it look brand new to me. Thoughts?

 

what's that made of....?

 

Stone. He said an agate but I don’t know.

edit: according to seller it’s stone.

 

Could be soapstone

 

Looks quite a lot like this one.

This is another and it is saying it's resin.

Certainly does!!! Thanks for finding these. Often copied design I guess. The material on the one I found seems a little darker than those two. Now that I have resin in mind the neck really does look more synthetic. I have a feeling the seller may be knowingly misrepresenting it, hopefully I’m wrong. He claims to be quite the antique expert...

 

oh , he claims does he........

I'm on board for resin !!!!
Once you see that same damn thing over and over.........don't let a minor color change get in the way of the truth !!

 

The one J posted was already a clear and definite positive for resin. Not a good quality resin copy either.

 

I'm glad people are saying resin. That was my immediate reaction.

 

A good luck gift, "100 children" or "may you be fruitful and have lots of kids so your family line will never die." These good luck/long life gifts also come as embroidered (and now printed) quilts, paintings, etc.
Wife and I got one when we got married 25+ years ago in China.)

 

Yeah, 90% of them are made by resin and contemporary. You can feel it when you are holding it.

 

I hope so, too. It even looks like resin to me, and I don't have enough knowledge to tell definitively from a photo!

 

Ah yes ok that sounds right! At least I had the number part right! Thanks

 

We can safely say he’s lying about something. Either being an expert or this being at least 100 years old (any maybe much more he says!).

 

Ouch. BTW， the words are simplied Chinese,which is widely used after1955
