    Is it possible for anyone to date and describe these?
    They're just over 10 inches tall.
    Does the washed out crazed glaze indicate poor quality vintage piece? Or do they have age?

    Chinese. The porcelain with dirty bases are usually recent but you never know if that is natural. Try to wash them and see if they'll come clean.
    Interesting design. Never seen one like this. The depiction of the trees, fish, water, pagodas, all unusual to me.
    The shape seems a bit different from the traditional one for those jars.
    Glazed necks are usually seen on Ming pieces. The Qing one are usually shaved.

    with some effort I think these will come clean. with a sponge I've reduced the size of the dark areas about ¼ of the way. They are fairly deep.

    do you find many recent traditional canton style jars out there like this? the original qing jars aren't all that valuable from what I've found.
