<p>[QUOTE="absolutelydraconic, post: 4499918, member: 76696"]Hey, long time no see! I bought these and have absolutely no hopes of identifying when or where theyre from exactly, the antique shop says the grey one is 100 years old and they said the green one is 60-70 years old. Allegedly the grey came from China and the green is from Korea. I bought them in Jinju-si South Korea. Green's maker's mark is totally incomprehensible. No idea why they'd put it where theyre going to fill it with glaze but either way, no idea what it's supposed to be. It's a nice celadon green, which was popular here. The pictures don't quite do the shade justice. If you'd like any more pics, I'm more than happy to share! [ATTACH=full]393713[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]393714[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]393715[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]393716[/ATTACH] Grey looks to be earthenware and is surprisingly heavy, didnt think it would be hollow but it is, at least in the front part. The maker's mark stands out pretty decently but i haven't put much time into looking for whose it might be.[ATTACH=full]393717[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]393718[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]393719[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]393720[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
