Large Chinese vase what is it?

Thank you for answers!

 

I can claim to have much knowledge on Chinese legends but I think the story of the eight immortals might apply. I believe the vase is of fairly recent vintage.

The women's faces have a "Western" look, so I would think newer. The water and women are well done compared to the rest, which is sketchy, literally(!). Are they sirens?

 

Good point, Scout, about the faces. The woman's (and man's) face(s) in the old example above look much different, more Asian, indeed. The maker did his homework as far as shape, though.
