Chinese underglazed blue & white handled baluster vase with a willow pattern decoration. The base marks read Ta Ch'ing Ch'ien Lung, a Qing dynasty dating 1736-95. This vase is not from that period, probably dating to early 20th century. It is not meant to deceive, really to pay homage to the makers of the past.
The vase is generally in excellent condition, there is a tiny nibble on the top scalloped rim as shown. The vase measures 24cm tall, with a maximum diameter of 14.5cm.
