<p>[QUOTE="Rastella, post: 331504, member: 6722"]Hi all! I seem to be on a pottery kick. I've had this jar for quite some time. It's been suggested that it is a food storage or pickling jar or crock. About the pictures: It's a bit darker green than the pictures show. I purposely used flash so that the design would show up. The design is elaborately hand done (might have even been "etched" in but can't be sure). With that amount of work, it was most likely made to be reused over and over again. Must've of been some amazing food in this container! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> Hoping someone can recognize the pattern or style, etc. (Fyi - I've been told it isn't Japanese or Chinese.) It stands 9 3/4" and about 6" at its widest. Weighs 3 lbs., 13 oz. and holds about a cup+ less than a gallon. Any ideas? Thank you!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]110904[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]110905[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]110906[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]110907[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
