Antique Chinese vase

The object is a Chinese export porcelain vase, likely a vintage or antique piece, a type of Famille Rose or Canton ware, featuring hand-painted decorations. The vase exhibits characteristics of the Canton or Rose Medallion style, popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is richly decorated with polychrome enamels, depicting mandarin ducks, butterflies, and floral motifs within bordered panels. Similar pieces are often attributed to the Chinese Republic Period (1911-1949). The red, four-character seal mark on the base of your porcelain item is a Guangxu (光緒) reign mark, which reads "Guangxu Nian Zhi" (光緒年製), meaning "Made in the year of Guangxu". This indicates it was produced during the reign of the Guangxu Emperor, who ruled from 1875 to 1908 during the Qing Dynasty.
