    Two minature vases with pretty scenery painting on it
    A find from a church charity sale.

    Simply loving the details that goes into it.Also it's semi translucent when light shines through it. And the porcelein was amazingly thin

    ht: 5cm-6cm
    width: 4cm
    thickness of porcelein:less than 1mm
    color:white translucent

    Unverified stamp under the vase

    Mystery Solved

      Chinese Eggshell Porcelain Vases, can't read mark, worn, does the other have mark? These would have come originally with a silk covered box. But stamp would tell more?

      The fourth photo is out of focus, when downloaded it cannot be enhanced enough to to be read. The pieces in the square don't look familiar, but with a sharp image, who knows?

      dear dizzy dave uploaded the other vases's stamp appears better but its the best i can try to capture

      The mark, rotated 45 degrees clockwise, is a four character Qianlong reign (1736 to 1795) in the Qing dynasty and very popular on reproduction porcelain. Probably late 20th century or later.
