Chinese? vase. I have no idea of age, although it would help if I could read Chinese, as it appears signed on the base. Also has what appears to be hand carved wooden lid.

Nicely carved lid.
There are some Chinese experts currently here on CW.
That should be 'famille verte', sorry!
very stunning :)
Thanks for the love mustangtony.
Thanks for the love and information vetraio50, how on earth do you now this stuff? Awesome, I do not even know if I had the writing the right way up!!
Thanks for the love and comment BELLIN68.
Hi Petey! This one reads Kangxi nianzhi.
Kangxi 1662-1722.
Whether it is a fake mark or not I cannot tell.
An expert would have to look at it.
Nice jar.
"Very Popular" in the UK at the moment!
Thanks again vetraio50, you really know your antiques, okay, so this one I think I should take to be checked by an expert, given the possible value if genuine!!
I would say so at the moment. I've seen "Flog It" Chinese items hit the roof recently. Perhaps the market may have softened a bit but even here in Oz there are ready buyers for Chinese export wares.
Thanks for the love walksoftly.
Thanks for the love MISTAKAZU, Woman34, and JueBoo
