    Posted this in the facebook Chinese ceramics group and the one suggestion I received was that this is possibly/likely 17th or 18th century Korean. Wondering if anyone here agrees or disagrees?

    About 11" tall, 6" in diameter at the widest - I imagine it holds about a quart/liter. The neck slightly points to one side - not sure if intentional for pouring. The bottom "bowl" part is almost 5" tall. The neck is about 6". Many thanks for taking the time to look at this and for any opinions.

    I 4 1 , like Korean.......not sure it's 1600's though.
    The ribbed neck looks almost like a handle for pouring....
    the tilt is unusual.....
    imo

    @kyratango does this look familiar to you, given your French Indochina background?

    Doing some more googling and I'm seeing more tilted necks on very old Korean stoneware bottles... so perhaps they are correct. Maybe.

    I think there is some crazing on that first one - very hard to see but ...I think it's just a matter of lighting - I actually can't see the crazing on mine until I get it into sun or my light box lights - then it's very apparent.
