<p>[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 13314277, member: 76316"]Japanese, I think...an' please forgive the flyspecks/paint specks; this is as found, maybe 20 tears ago here in Port Angeles. It's ~9 3/4" major diameter, 6 3/4" top rim diameter, ~6 7/8" foot diameter, ~4 1/4" high; weight is ~25 oz.</p><p>The thing has had poor care, an' shows some signs of use, especially on the inner surfaces; the outer finish is a matte, but that may be from oxidation/sunlight exposure. There is no maker's mark, nor any other. The inner rim has 'bumps' where the trunk an' skull's double humps intrude slightly, which intrigued me initially. After I got it home an' dusted it, the white specks were revealed. I haven't tried removing them, tho' I believe good lacquer will withstand several reasonably judicious approaches to that project. Can any of you add anything to this? Like age, first...then, could it be SE Asian, or Chinese? Thanks for lookin'!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]562586[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]562587[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]562588[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]562589[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]562590[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]562591[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]562592[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
