Featured 2 old looking pottery bits

hi folks

these were 2 bits i picked up from the same boot seller as the jade plant

seem quite old to me in hand, but don't know if they are old or just rustically made

i like the white one more for being old i think

the dark one i wasn't so sure about, but thought the damage to the rim looked old/worn damage

any thoughts or info appreciated

i'll leave it with you, off to get a bit of sun today

hoping to go from a pale blue to a light salmon

 

The second one has a very similar shape to Chinese pottery wine bottles. At least that's what I was told by Chitong -- an ebayer from the old ebay boards. He also told me the Chinese name which was something quite long and starts with a "y," LOL! They are utilitarian ware and have been made for yonks which is why it's nigh on impossible to date. Here's an ebay one to show the shape (and 18th c is a guess IMHO): https://www.ebay.ca/itm/224194878090

 

interesting, thanks kworld, i've got a sneaky suspicion the first is chinese as well

 

Could be, but I was thinking maybe Sawankhalok or Sukhothai, Thai ceramics of ca 13th-16th century

 

interesting, thanks Aj will look into that

 

might be a great shout Aj, seeing quite a few examples with that high foot rim

 

That colour clay was also used, among others.

the interesting part of the etsy link example is that central base circle, which is what originally made me think asia way

so think we're in the right ballpark of area, but could be wide ranging in terms or age and exact origin

Well, looks like the Japanese had their rough and ready wine bottles, too. Too bad that the neck is gone because that might have tipped the ID one way or the other. The base is different than the Chinese one I have. Good info, Roaring!
