Dear Philip,
You have a Chinese vase made in the tradition of an original Cinnabar vase but its actually made of plastic or has a plastic surface. These vases come quite often on the market but are not very valuable as the are not really cut by hand but made in a mould. You can see some tiny pieces missing and they have a round shape. That meand the hot, cooking plastic was ''popping'' and a ( half ) bubble shaped piece is missing in the ''cinnabar'' These pieces are sold for very different prices depending on the believe of the buyer he actually buys a genuine one. Estimation is based on decorative value.
