Hello, this item is a Chinese porcelain decorative vase made in a style inspired by Qing dynasty Qianlong period famille rose wares, but it is a modern reproduction rather than an 18th century imperial piece. The bright enamel palette, highly uniform painting style, molded applied handles, and the crisp underglaze blue seal mark are all consistent with late 20th century decorative export porcelain. Authentic Qianlong period imperial porcelains show more refined enamel layering, different paste characteristics, and typically display age related wear patterns not present here.
From a market perspective, comparable late 20th century Chinese decorative vases of this size and quality typically sell between $120 and $300 USD depending on condition and decorative appeal.
