porcelain vase - please help identify
« on: January 09, 2011, 12:07:31 pm »
I have been trying to find information on this but I am coming up empty. This vase appears to be creamy white with extensive paintings and has extensive crackling. There is a chip on the rip. It stands about 12 inches and has a glossy glaze. The artwork looks handmade. There are no signatures or other marks. Does anyone know what kind of pottery this might be? Is it Middle Eastern? What would this kind of pottery be called? How old might it be? What would those figures mean? What would something like this be estimated at? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am not sure about the others...but I can't make out much from your pictures.  Sorry.

Appears pretty modern.

Yes, agree with KC, could you post some pictures which can be enlarged, and include some of the interior and the base, if at all possible.

The colors and design suggest Japanese.  It closely resembles the color and design on a bowl sent back from Okinawa, found in a house in Naha during the invasion in WW2 by a veteran.  Asian I'm pretty sure, Japanese possibly?  Please bear in mind I am in no way enlightened on pottery.
