Although many say Wong Lee porcelainpieces are reproduction...they are actually original pieces hand made by a extremely skilled artist.
Wong Lee International was founded in 1995 and they began exporting in 1999. It does have a commemorative makers mark of 1895 on the bottom that actually has a commemorative meaning of the end of the war between China and Japan in 1895. This took place exactly 100 years prior to the founding of the company. Before you roll your nose up about the fact that this is a Chinese made piece ask yourself what is wrong with someone wanting to make high quality pieces that are gorgeous, have some weight to them, are not flimsy, but intricately detailed, and resemble the quality of old antiques. Who doesn't love French antiques, but not everyone can afford to go out and buy an original William Lowe vase for thousands of dollars. If you can't afford thousands of dollars what is wrong with trying a piece like this and enjoying it for what it is?
