<p>[QUOTE=&quot;15Stiftgasse, post: 7454767, member: 12382&quot;]After spending a few hours trawling the net, the closest example I&#039;ve found is this &#039;Japanese Arita Pear-Shaped Bottle Vase&#039;, dating from&nbsp; the late 17th century (crikey!), according to the website. The shape, the lip, and the base of both examples all seem to be fairly similar - at least in my view.</p><p>So I think I&#039;ll have to guess at late 17th or maybe 18th century to be on the safe side - unless someone thinks otherwise.</p><p><br /></p><p>In any event, thank you all most kindly for your comments and contributions.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]422793[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]422796[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]422798[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
