    Blooey, can you help with this?
    Bought this at an estate sale. Probably nothing too important. Stands 13" tall. I cannot find the mark on Gotheborg. Can anyone tell me when this was made?

    Nice quality, I think it could be a variation of an old Ching dynasty mark, fairly new piece though.

    Shame shape of lid doesn't match shape of jar.

    Attractive chunk of ceramic, but not old.

    I think the stamp is trying to be Xianfeng (1851-1861), contemporary piece but fun.

    Kraft, I saw this and immediately thought "Macau" - probably 1980's. I am absolutely NOT an expert, but I remember the days when things like this were suddenly very visible in the stores - then just as suddenly, gone...

    How about this one - similar?
