What does this mean?

Thank you for contacting Mearto and I apologize for the delay. This is a pair of famille rose Chinese baluster vases with the seal of the Qianlong emperor (1700s) of the Qing dynasty. These marks are almost always apocryphal, meaning they are not indicative of the period of manufacture, but later reproductions in reverence to the style of the era. The more modern reproductions are still valuable.
Below are links to hammer prices of similar pieces. The prices vary, based on condition, provenance, detail, and the particular seller or buyer. I also included a link to comparing real and modern Qianlong ware. If you can send me pictures that are more clearly in focus, I can better assist you in determining the value.

My valuation is based on the average price of the ones that look most like yours.

Hi Norma,

My system here says that you added new photos. I don't have a record to see the old vs. new. Can you tell me if you did and which they are/what questions you have? Thanks!

Do you have a similar item and want to know how much it’s worth?
