Grey Chinese Floral Bottle Vase Identification

Hi, Got this vase from local auctions a few months ago

it is hand painted and relatively light, 15cm tall, 6.5cm Diameter

The greyness and opaqueness is making me think it is pottery and not porcelain

Unsure of Age, im guessing that it is Chinese

anyone have any ideas about its age or origin?

Thank you

 

I run from that crazing.....

 

Welcome, @RG2000! The concern is that type of deep, overall crazing is often found on new Asian imports. How did the auction house describe the piece?

its a lovely antique japanese meiji era vase

 

your correct as well pottery so would be looking in the satsuma direction

 

Yes it is Japanese.
I seriously doubt Meiji. It is in the Satsuma style, and because there is no mark it would only be an attribution.

The box was just described as pottery and glass, The auction house sells most goods in groups or boxes, i believe most of the stuff comes from the estates of deceased people, this was the box that i got it from

 

i'd be surprised if it wasn't Sir Mikey or there abouts

 

Satsuma crackle glaze is intentional, and is not meant to diseave and doesn't determine age of the piece. It's just the way they were made.

what are the pair of black vases at 9 o clock ?

 

S

 

Some Kind of Japanese Bulb Vases, seems to be twentieth century export ware because they are marked "JAPAN", looks like its a particular style but don't know the name of it

 

spent a few minutes searching on ebay, they are "Atami Stoneware", made in the 70s, the shape is called "bulb bud"

 

r

they are also known as "japanese weed vases"

 

interesting thanks bud, have never seen those brown fat lava type glaze ones before (just being nosey)
but their pretty cool

the little green moriage bowl at about 7 looks japanese also

 

Absolutely. Nothing wrong with that.

I found a similar one on ebay:

Ebay links don't work well, but if you click on one and delete the first half until you get to the second https:// etc, it should work.

that one does look vintage......and porcelain

 

I assumed OP's was Satsuma-like porcelain, based on the thinness of the wall. Of course I could be wrong.

 

doesn't look like porcelain.....tis pottery
