    I've been looking at these jars in an online auction. They're described as "antique Asian ginger jars". No other information. gingerjars2.jpg gingerjars1.jpg Could someone read the characters on the bottom?

    Many thanks

    I'd worry about that overall crazing. Often the sign of recent Chinese imports.

    Debora - I bow to your great fund of knowledge, but these were from an estate of an elderly professor - not that they couldn't date from the 1990s, of course.

    Let's wait to see what other's say. And, do know, it's always helpful to forum members when the OP includes all the information they have about an item in their initial post.

    Here's what Google Translate has to say. I can't attest to its accuracy, especially since Google Lens provides the second translation.

    I'd say......... from what I can see... imo , not an expert.... try to stay away from pottery made in th 100's of thousands... but here we go !!

    Kangxi Nian Zhi - "Kangxi Period Make", c. 1960's to 70's ...

    Red four character Kangxi Nian Zhi marks within a square becomes particularly popular during the 1970s.

    Decorated in Hong Kong.
