Sorry, it is not. This seller is already well known among collectors for selling fakes. He is selling on eBay, too. Here is the listing with the same elephant – https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-Antique-Chinese-Porcelain-Elephant-and-Vase-Statue-Marked-QianLong/174114881140?
The asking price is even higher than on Etsy. This seller uses several accounts to sell his fakes on eBay. Here is one of his accounts – https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/ama-9344/m.html
He uses exactly the same background for his images, although one seller is said to be in Norfolk, the other in Christchurch. The distance is 220 miles. In reality, this seller is from China. He pretends to be from the UK to appear more trustworthy. The harsh reality is that he is a fraudster, and this porcelain elephant has nothing to do with QianLong.
