Hello everyone,
I have this really nice 16" ginger jar. A tenant of mine left it when they moved out and I thought it was neat and stuck it away in a corner. It was all dusty and I figured it was a $14.99 Walmart special.
Tonight I decided to clean it up and now I am not so sure. It still could be but as I was cleaning it I noticed that there is quite a bit of crazing and there is a small mark on the inside of the lid which is the only mark on the whole thing.
The surface is sandy feeling and it is where the glazed porcelain remains, such as on the rose adornments, that you see the crazing.
Inside almost looks like something was burned in there - and someone could have used this for incense or something but there is no odor and I have cleaned it out the best i can but have to find something longer to get to the bottom.
These are my inside pics so are not best quality. I hope they show enough so that someone can tell me if this is just a modern decorative jar or something else. Either way I still like it
