[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 423208, member: 2844"]Gorgeous, 2many. You can never have 2many of these, imo. I immediately got a martaban jar association as well. Martabans were also manufactured later though, mine is an 18th century Canton/Guangdong dragonware Martaban. Chinese potters are still making Martaban jars for the Borneo market, a trade that grew out of requests for repairs to highly valued antique Martaban jars. The loops on this one would serve to secure a stopper with ropes. The glaze doesn't look 19th century imo, you can see it has much more sheen than the 19th century one on ebay. Like Martaban jars, yours was probably made in south China or an adjoining region in mainland SE Asia. But even if it is 20th century, it is a beauty, and I would have bought it in a heartbeat.[/QUOTE]
