Hello Nevenka, I’m glad that you chose Mearto for your online appraisal request, Considering the photographs, overall pattern, painting quality and the composition, I concluded that this is a Modern Reproduction of a Chinese Moonflask. The mark underneath the piece is "Da Qing Yongzheng Nian Zhi" which translates as "Great Qing dynasty Yongzheng Period Make". The original pieces bearing this mark dates to 18th century, during the reign of the Yongzheng Emperor. But yours is obviously a very very modern copy which we could date from 1990 to 2000's. I can easily detect the new styled painting made with a very little effort. This moonflask shape was very hard to make since it is created in different pieces and then assembled, during this process Chinese artist would spend a lot of time on proportions. But in your piece handles on both sides is very poor in terms of their proportions to the porcelain body, which also refers to a less quality piece. The bue colour is aalso not right for the period, it is of mediocre quality that can help us to fate this piece between 1990-2000. Bamboos and another tree is one composition is usually never the case in original Chinese piece, we can see that the reproducer had a confusion in his mind about the decoration and so just picked a Asian image to enhace the decoration. Birds seems very western oriented and new in design. There is no antique value bu it is very decorative as it is hand painted. Dimensions: 29 Centimeters tall and has a 60 centimeters of Circumference. Condition: Very good condition, chip and crack free. Provenance: Purchased in London Hand painted. 30-80€ Please don’t hesitate to reach us again for more online appraisals on your precious items, thank you for choosing Mearto.
