    DizzyDaff Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

    I have a beautiful urn that I know nothing about. It does have a lid and the last pic is the bottom of the urn with marking. With lid in place, it is 8" or 19 cm tall, and 7" or about 18 cm at the widest
    Could anyone help me with any information about this? Is it just a pretty shelf sitter or is it something collectible?
    No idea WHY the pics are repeating!
    Thanks!!

    I suspect that the remnants of a silver label said Made in China - meaning not very old.

    I think this shape, especially with the lid, would be called a ginger jar?

    The mark is for the reign of the Jiaqing emperor, @Marie Forjan is correct it's a ginger jar - @Bakersgma is also correct, it's a late 20th century copy.
