Hello LaTonya,
Happy New Year. Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with Mearto. The item presented appears to be a Chinese ginger jar in a Wucai (五彩; "five-color") design featuring dragons. The object does not appear to include a reign mark to the underside, therefore dating the jar may be difficult. However, it is likely the work was created during the Qing dynasty (1644-1911), most likely the late 19th century. An in-person examination may be able to provide a more definitive date. The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of this work and other comparable jars. The estimate is contingent on a full condition report. Please note asking or dealer prices may vary. Thank you and please take care.
Hi LaTonya,
Thank you for pointing that out. It definitely blends in with the design.
The reign mark appears to be the Xuantong reign mark, dating the object to 1909 - 1912. The estimate remains the same.
Thank you.
Hello, I responded to your email with some photos. I blew up the image so that you could see the mark better. It appears to be the Xuande mark. Please take a look at it and get back to me as soon as you can. Thank you.
I'm sorry. I thought you all had some type of software that enlarged the pictures but not to worry. I blew it up for you and put it in the email.
Hello, could you forward my item to someone who is skillful with knowing the value of my item. The mark is clearly not the one that you stated. I know a lot about Chinese symbols and I'm concerned that you weren't even able to give my item the proper attention enough to find the mark in the first place and when you do, you state the wrong mark when it is clearly a Xuande mark.
Is there anyone else there who can provide me with the service that I need. If not, I want a refund as your services have been completely useless to me. I pretty much had to do my own appraisal.
I'm very disappointed in your services that I paid for.
Hello, the mark is around the neck of the jar. Does this make a difference?
