    Found this lidded cannister / jar at a thrift shop this weekend for $8, and hoping for some hints as to maker, style, use, or origin. Appears to be hand painted and crazed all over. The lid has a dragonfly handle and the interior is a lovely emerald/mint green. No marks on the bottom. Its quite large, about 8" tall, 7.5" in diameter, and 24" in circumference. It appears to have possibly come from an antique or vintage shop as it had a tag on the inside lid with previous (higher) prices and subsequent mark downs.

    Thanks in advance, antiquers! I truly appreciate this website and community.

    oh I see - the plant is the same and those examples also have the dragon fly motif..
    I thought the design around the bottom seemed like it could be Asian.

    It was just a guess on my part so other's might have thoughts if they know of other places making such things. It's very cute!
