The cadogan is not really worth a full restoration. If I owned it I might paint stripper off the old restoration and re-glue it with hxtal epoxy for a more clean finish, but that is it.
if you want opinions on the dragon vase then you need a post proper pictures, especially of the base. These things are being made in great quantities today. But an old one from the C18th could be hugely valuable

Thank you for the auction. The vases are very similar indeed. Unfortunately, there are no information on time period and its background, or is there a way to get more information about the vase that sold?
I compared the pictures and it seems to me the art work of my vase is better done / cleaner. In the auctioned vase the blue often gets into the white or red areas (e.g. claws, top line) compared to my vase where there are no brushes leading in areas where they are not supposed to be.
I do quite like the cut down Ming bottle vase too
Do I understand that correctly that you think the first vase is a Ming dynasty bottle vase? I was not able to identify the mark at the bottom and I wasn't able to find any other information about it. It would be great if you would have some other information.
If they didn't mention the age I'm guessing it was probably made after 1950. Or perhaps earlier but they couldn't confirm it. For the bottle I have the impression it is not chinese but I can't say for sure. That doesn't mean it isn't valuable.
Thanks to your help and the help of Bonhams I was able to date the 3 pieces a bit better. I think you might be interested so here is what I found out:
1. item: The vase is most likely a provincial type of were from the Wanli period in the Ming Dynasty (1573-1619)
2. item: This is either a 20th-century reproduction or an 18th/19th-century piece. Needs to be verified in an inspection.
3. item: This Cadogan teapot has the Kangxi (1662 - 1722) period mark but is most likely an antique reproduction from the Guangxu period (1875-1908) where 4-character Kangxi marks were used a lot. The pot is shaped like a peach in the traditional manner, the Immortal Peach that the Chinese believed conferred longevity. On the handle is an inscription that is an ornate form of shou 寿 symbol meaning "longevity".
Many thanks for your help
No problem. If you ever want to sell the dragon vase and have a price in mind please let me know. I am based in the UK. [email protected]
I received some other pictures of the dragon vase. Maybe it is now easier to identify the age and when it was possibly made. Many thanks for your advice.
Hi, with this mark and bottom it could be from the republic or late-qing period. This type of qianlong mark is commonly found on pieces of this period. A valuable vase if it is the case.

Thank you for your input. How can I figure out if it is from the republic or the late-qing period? Anything that I should look for?
I don't think the person taking the photos did a good job , or do you have more ? You would need clear photos of the base , the footrim , the shape of the vase , its proportions - these are just snapshots of various parts and features , not very helpful, imo.
I'm not sure whether this is old or new - the dragon and waves seem well-painted and this type of vase , if old, would be very desirable , but the mark is not well-done, and the colours look harsh, but that could be just the lighting. The footrim looks to me more like C20th than C19th, but please post more photos if possible.

The art of calligraphy - and for the ancient Chinese it certainly was an art - aimed to demonstrate superior control and skill using brush and ink. Calligraphy established itself as one of the major Chinese art forms during the Han dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE), and for two millennia after, all educated men were expected to be proficient at it.
