No, I'm afraid not. I don't think it's a traditional Japanese "vase" shape, although viewed in section, it is reminiscent of cartouches I've seen...
Just a thread for the girls, then ...:bag::wideyed:
Medium quality, Kyoto satsuma type earthenware, 20thc, Late Meiji/Taisho period. Just a fairly large-ish pair of Japanese export Vases.
So it's tiny. Probably not for hot food then. Also looks like it might be incomplete, is the base section missing?
How much is that in old money?:D:D
The phenomenon of incomplete vitrification at the edges of Wanli porcelains.
I'd say older, Chinese of course, IMHO late 19th/early 20thc. You don't give the size but looks like a hot food container (depending on how big!)
Or the big museum in the sky:blackeye:, the scrapyard @$1 a ton ..hopefully you won't have to pay more than that to get it hauled away ...Not...

Chinese Pewter tea or hot water pot.
I didn't mean that you melted the stuff yourself!:eek: I just meant "sent for melt" or scrapped.
I thought this might have been the part attached to the seat and the bowl hinge elements attached to the bar? just guessing though!:rolleyes: I...
Toilet seat hinge?
My piece may not be Swatow then, but it is DEFINITELY Ming, Wanli Period (1572 to 1620)
So what do you do with all that? Melt it all down?
Smoked a bag or two way back when smoking was allowed..
I'm not so sure it's from North/Central Europe, that base motif decoration looks a bit on the Islamic side of things to me ...maybe Moorish influence?
Yes here's the reverse and indeed it is pretty gritty:smuggrin: And before somebody advises me to remove the hangers yes I know thanks [ATTACH]
This is Japanese, Fukagawa porcelain.
and today ...:rolleyes: https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/25/us/mattel-dolls-gender-nonbinary-inclusive-trnd/index.html
