Chinese Vases in The Philippines

Hello guess who.

First you need to look for the manufacturers mark on the underside of the pots. Take a clear Photograph of the trademark.

Does the green glazed pot have a raised script on the outside of the pot?

Counterfeiting was and still is a problem in Asia. Even items with the distinctive trade marks can be forged.

If I was to guess and I am by no means an expert these examples are mid to late 19th early 20th century manufacture.

This type of raised decoration occurs on Chinese porcelain from the Qianlong period and maybe even slightly earlier then that, but I don't have any references at hand for to look into, for the earliest date. This kind of decoration becomes very popular during the mid 19th century and later though and there are several artists specializing in this kind of wares that are quite interesting too look into.

Hello Guess who

Once again the photograph quality is too poor for accurate assessment. When Photographing items for identification. It is very helpful to have ruler or tape measure next to it, to help determine the size of the object in question.

Even if you went to Southerbies or Christies They will want crisp clear photographs of the object from several angle as any identifying trade marks. A color photo copy is not much help I am afraid, because you cannot see the details.

Even then they will still want to see the items in person to give an accurate valuations.

Hardluck
