i was reading an article on a website that said that chinese export items never really had stamps at all,,unless they are really modern i.e 20 years old,,they would have only used stamps on items that were for the chinese market...
i think the vases were chinese ,,going by the decoration,,(cartoon style horses) my opinion is they are about 100 years old maybe 120,,,but to my knowledge very old chinese pots were made out of a redish, orangy clay,,these are more white hard porcelain type...
i have pictures at the top of this thread but i will post them again..
c2000 (that was advanced phrase) he said they looked like they were made in circa 2000.
i'm a bit confused now john to be honest (i might have sold a little gem for 70 pounds,,because at the end of the day no-body knows about chinese porcelain better than the chinese)
just found out it was 2 chinese porcelain collectors (both from china) bidding against each other for the vases

"Circa 1999 20th century" - Vanny's post and not mine, I don't know what they are I just go on the logic that a antiques expert who has been in the trade for over 45 years has a bit more logic of a newbie buying from boot fairs.
At the end of the day it is only his opinion and you opinion so it does not necessary mean either one is right.
"no-body knows about chinese porcelain better than the chinese" You are right.
