So as luck would have it, I was out running errands today and I happened to see an estate sale sign on the road so I pulled off to check it out.

The house turned out to be my uncles neighbor and there was quite a bit of jewelry and silver mixed among the Knick knacks

I ended up buying a huge pair of Gorham sterling candelabras, books, art, flatware and this little vase sitting in the garage window.

If I ever come across anything Chinese pottery related, I have a relative that can ID them pretty quick which is how I got the Jingdezhen info. What I’d like to do is be able to read the rest of the writing on the sides of the vase.

I can’t help with the side inscription, but this is what is known as ‘famille rose’ decoration (variously known in Chinese as Fencai, Ruancai, and later as Yangcai). Although introduced some time around 1720, it remained popular throughout the 18th and 19th centuries and into the 20th Century.

Your vase is export ware and the Jingdezhen Zhi mark on the base dates to around 1950 (possibly up to 20 years later). Like this one:

Great score on the candelabras. I tend to see a lot of Chinese porcelain but I pass on most of it because I can’t tell what’s good. I hate to think what I might’ve passed up.

Me too, I've often wondered about these items of porcelain from Asia. Its everywhere in the trift stores now and I take that most of it is recent made imported product. I just thought of a little hard paste ceramic medicine bottle I can't pin down I think I'll post in the what is it, if I can find it. It's has like faux looking Asian writing, but more of a 19th century British looking number stamped on the base. Very colorful with glazed relief design.
