[QUOTE="kardinalisimo, post: 45811, member: 118"]Any help with the mark? If you google "Shiwan pottery pot" you can find many examples. The common is the hexagon shape, the panels with different images, uneven glaze line finishing shortly before the bottom, rough clay and few other features. They could be with glazed or unglazed necks, different sizes and bases, different shades of green etc. Hardly if ever I've seen them marked. If not wrong they were originally used and burial urns and later turned into ginger or other jars. No idea how to date similar ware. I think they usually appear older than they really are.
