Hello Scott, I’m very glad that you chose Mearto for your online appraisal, Considering the photographs, overall pattern, mark and the colours, I concluded that this is a Hand Made Decorative Chinese Gourd Vase with Double Lobes. This piece dates back to the period between 1990-2020 and is a new reproduction. The mark underneath the piece is a Ming Dynasty mark used during thw Wanli period, this was the period that Chinese Empire was ruled by the Wanli Emperor. Of course originally this period was between 1573-1620. Your piece on the other hand is a new reproduction using this mark, Chinese ateliers and artists always reproduce these marks and pieces throughout the history. Also, during the Wanli Period Gourd vases were mostly heavily decorated unlike your piece. Your piece was a decorational item from recent years. The softeners under the base and the glue marks proves the period. Likely came with a set of similar pieces. Has no artistic or antique value but still has a decorational value with an apple green glaze that has a decorative charm. In good condition without any visible faults. Entirely hand made. Dimensions: Unknown Condition: In good condition without any visible faults. Provenance: Unknown. 30-80$.
