    Here's a something I found yesterday on a quick stop at the Goodwill. Its about 7 inches (17cm) in diameter and 4.5 (11cm) inches high. The decoration is mainly on the inside, and I think the scenery depicted is maybe typically Chinese, but I get a Japanese feel from the rest of the construction and colors. Maybe late 19th or early 20th? Newer?

    Is it just me, or does that one scholar remind you of Mr. Magoo too?

    Really lovely decoration. The characters have a famille rose look about them whereas the bold red colouring has an imari feel.

    Agree - a meeting of the styles - I'm sure this is export ware made in Japan, but definitely pretty and interesting enough to pick up for a few bucks!
