ANTIQUE EXTRA LARGE VASE ON PEDESTAL

The marking on the base of the item translates to "Made during the Qianlong reign" (). This type of marking is commonly found on Chinese porcelain from the Qing Dynasty, specifically during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (1736-1795). It serves as a reign mark to identify the period of production. The presence of this mark does not necessarily guarantee that the piece was made during that exact period, as later reproductions or pieces made in the style of the Qianlong era might also carry this mark.
