<p>[QUOTE="Rook, post: 622974, member: 10841"]I bought this (along with two pieces of Talavera pottery and a 10+ pound box of buttons) from a woman for $10, but I'm having a hard time figuring out anything about it. The style looks Chinese - I've found a few "Japanese porcelain hand painted in Hong Kong" ginger jars that have nearly identical artwork. The marks are different, though. The marks on the bottoms of those jars seem to be all circles with clearly legible words. The mark on the bottom of the one I have is rectangular and difficult to make out. I honestly can't even figure out which way is up (though I assume it's supposed to be vertical). </p><p><br /></p><p>I'm, like, nearly 100% sure that this isn't an antique, but not being able to find any stamps that even resemble it is really bothering me. Do you guys have any advice? Places to look? </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/60906000_10213807841815647_7516579516920102912_o.jpg?_nc_cat=109&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.xx&oh=8c1c75d5686fe8f2b88bf064ec84f779&oe=5D9262E3" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/60836213_10213807841935650_5438527068981690368_o.jpg?_nc_cat=102&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.xx&oh=5088359e54b471044ff193f5f27523d7&oe=5D554E44" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
