Early 20th Chinese jardiniere in my opinion. About 1920.

I am quite sure that this is Japanese Satsuma crackleware, probably not from the Satsuma area bur more likely Kyoto. I do not think the Chinese produced this kind of pottery (or rather they started much later copying it). I agree with the date Ipcress gave.
Regards, Mat

thanks for helping out. i had someone look at it in person and they tell me its 1870's Japanese Satsuma wear.
£2.50 was a bargain :)

Its not that early but £2.50 is still a good deal.
I can now see the lowest image - the crazing and the marks - and i'd agree with Mat about Japanese but still stick with the date.
