Hi everyone,
I’m hoping some of the experts here can help me identify this Chinese porcelain vase.
I found it several years ago, and I’ve been researching it ever since. I’ve compared it to examples from museum collections, auction catalogs, and published references, but I’m still unsure of its age and origin.
Here are a few details:
Blue-and-white decoration with iron-red accents.
Dragon motif with a garlic-head bottle form.
Unglazed foot with a reddish clay body.
No obvious reign mark.
I’m not looking for an appraisal—I’m mainly interested in learning:
What period does it appear to be from?
Does the decoration resemble a particular kiln, dynasty, or style?
Are there specific details that support or contradict a Ming, Transitional, Qing, or later date?
Is there anything about the foot, glaze, or painting that stands out to experienced collectors?
I’ve included photographs of the entire vase, close-ups of the decoration, and the foot. If there are additional photos that would help, please let me know and I’ll upload them.
I appreciate any opinions or educational insight. Thanks in advance for taking the time to look.

Dongba Culture Museum (麗江東巴文化博物館東巴文化傳習院) is a museum in Lijiang, Yunnan province that showcases the Dongba culture of the Naxi people.
The Naxi is a minority ethinic group known for its own ancient and unique language and scriptures. The pictograph language is actually composed of 1,400 picture-like characters and symbols that are still used by Dongbas, researchers and artists of the culture. It is the only living hieroglyph in the world and is regarded as a precious cultural relic of mankind.
On August 30, 2003, the museum's 1,000-volume collection of Dongba classical literature was added by UNESCO to the Memory of the World International Register, recognising it as documentary heritage of global importance.
Attached are some photos of the museum displays including the Naxi pictograph language, their culture, handicrafts, religion, rituals etc. Although it is a small museum, it has a lot of important and interesting information, antiques and artefacts to learn about the Naxi people...

I have two paintings and I would really like to know the artists behind it so I can do more digging. Any information you have as well would help lots. The last photo is of the rectangular seal on the first painting since it's kind of hard to make out.

My Grandma found this at an estate sale she was working, i'm trying to help her out because she is thinking about selling it. This seems hand painted with what we believe is watercolor.

I have this painting, and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me about it! The photos not awesome - it couldn't be taken out of the glass, and it was behind bulky furniture. But I think you can see enough! Without the frame it is 58"h x 35"w (147cm h x 90cm w).
I'm not sure why, but there is a reference to Liu Jun in the writing. I'm not sure how I would describe it to someone!

I got a collection of 4 Gentlemen scrolls. They seem newer. Allegedly from Suzhou. I really wanted them so not selling, but I've been lead to believe they could be worth something, so I want to insure them properly.
I'm hoping someone can recognize the stamp so I get a clue to follow up on! (They're gonna be a pain to frame! Haha. Any tips on framing appreciated. I'm expecting acid free shadow box with UV protection)

Picked this up on FB marketplace. Older gentleman whose brother passed away and had a ton of high quality art. Any ideas?
