    billyd3us Thanks All my Friends

    I got this a few days ago, wondering if anybody knows what the style is called, also maybe the signature.

    Thank You

    I think it might be a brush pot/holder. It even looks like there's some paint in the bottom.

    Guessing the color is some shade of celadon glaze.

    Is there a setting ring around the bottom that shows the clay color?

    I'm finding alot in this general pattern searching celadon basket weave, celadon reticulated, celadon lattice. Most of it that comes up is Korean and the clay is red.

    Thanks Laura, no ring at bottom. I've been trying to find this color and no luck.

    Please post a picture of the entire bottom of the piece. There are always clues to be gleaned by looking at how the bottom is finished.

    I have been finding a few pieces of Korean white porcelain with the blue tint, but they're all really old and all in museums or at high end auction houses. (Don't get your hopes up yet.)

    Will post the pictures and links for you.

    In the first picture below the open work, reticulated, basket weave, lattice pattern is the closest match to yours I've seen on-line. Four diamonds shapes between the circles. This one doesn't have the blueish tint in the glaze.

    Don't forget to back off with the camera and post a picture of the entire bottom of your pot BillyD.;)
    EDIT:
    Since I can't read the mark, I'm just going on visuals, by most similar pattern and color. All of these similarities could end up meaning nothing, LOL!

    Well, if the writing is in Chinese, it ain't Korean I guess!
