Any information regarding the vase's age or origin, design, etc would be greatly appreciated. It belonged to someone who bought it pre 1950s

Thank you

I think this could be 19th century, the colors look right, no? I say the design looks really nice and could definitely be 19th century

It was in her house from at least the 1930s (new info)

is there a chance this can be 19th century

-----------------
I don't think so. The lighting isn't ideal to see colors properly. I assume the ground is yellow and not greenish, as it looks in these pictures?
In my view, the coloring of the bird doesn't look like 19th century or anything before the 20th. Then, the pink band along the bottom looks like 18th century (Yongzheng). The color of the flowers could only be either 18th or 20th, but the overall color decoration won't fit the 18th century, so it would only be possible that it is 20th. Painting styles in the first quarter were a continuation of the late Qing decoration styles, but the petals' color would hardly been painted that way, then. So, my opinion is that it cannot be first quarter of the 20th c. or earlier.
Always ask for a second opinion.

This Chinese vase is perhaps vintage. Second or third quarter of the 20th century. So the year mentioned would be about right.
