    Came to take a look because it was absolutely stunning! Can you imagine by hand working pottery so that it looks like lace and then successfully firing it with no cracks. It has stood the test of time made in 1742! Spectacular!

      China used to have this thing called "Imperial Porcelain" and "Export Porcelain"... imperial porcelain was reserved only for the Chinese imperial family and it has special stamps at to bottom to indicate that, while export porcelain were types of porcelain that were mass produced and exported to different countries, they were especially made for the tastes of the population of their destination.
      Now, how would a Chinese Imperial vase end up in Europe if it was only reserved of the Chinese Imperial family?... the most likely answer is that this was taken during the Opium Wars.
