<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pmurphy, post: 137769, member: 2119&quot;]I&#039;m new to this forum and am grasping a straws.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have an Asian style bottle that was found in a storage closet when my grandmother passed away over 25 years ago.&nbsp; I thought it was unusual and so kept it all these years, but I&#039;ve always been curious about it because my grandmother did not collect things such as this and it was in a closet with old cameras and sewing machines; she was born and raised in a small town in Alberta, Canada. </p><p>I have tried to translate the inscriptions with no luck and have never seen anything like it in all the web searching I&#039;ve done.&nbsp; It appears old and hand-painted, done in green and red with a beige background, and I can&#039;t find anything to identify the maker.&nbsp; Someone told me they though it was a 1920&#039;s Chinese bottle, others have suggest a Japanese sake bottle.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can anyone tell me what it is or point in the right direction.&nbsp; I&#039;m hoping that if I can learn about it, I can understand why it was important to her.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>........I tried to upload some pictures but was told the file was too large; anyone have any suggestions as to how to compress them?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
