    Up to my stupid tricks again, I bought this big vase on a bicycle tour on the Oregon coast, and then carried it with me for a couple days.

    I have this wishful hope that's it's somehow Japanese, but I have no idea.

    11" tall (27cm) and 6.5" wide. I supplied the Chinese stand, but could be absurdly unrelated.

    Interesting glaze has a subtle crackle, and is slight iridescent.

    Any comments appreciated. Thanks!

    VERY Yum, especially that glaze!
    From the rim appearance, it looks thin-walled. Is that the case? Coil-built, thrown...or slip-cast?
    What does it weigh, Potts?

    It's fairly thin. It 'rings' when I flip my fingernail against the inside rim. Don't know how much it weights--- not at home at present. There's no 'seam' to indicate that it was machine-made, but I can't swear to that.

    Looks like it might be a tenmoku glaze, and if it rings may be on porcelain.
