There's so many reproductions that look like that vase and other Chinese ceramics in these large thrift stores, it makes me wonder if any of the ones I see are something worth a fortune ? ... My guess is most likely not, but I sure could accumulate a large collection of look a likes for a fraction of what that vase went for.
Some will even have marks that look like that. I did find this silver vase that is old and I'm sure is worth more than I paid, but it's Japanese. http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/what/446806-silver-vase-any-clues-its-origin.html#post4416296you have look at the stamp on the base, the "Emperors stamp"
