Featured Long Neck Pottery Vase - Chinese?

I'd welcome thoughts on this unmarked long necked blue vase. 9 3/4" tall. It's lightweight, recessed unmarked bottom, and a nice looking shade of blue. No marks.

TIA,
Janice

 

Japanese...chinese...... that's a tough one...

I love the color.

 

its a beauty !, chinese would be my guess as well, late 19th to early 1900s i reckon

i never knew you were the scarecrow from the wizard of oz

 

Yes indeed! That's why I'm here asking! I was thinking Chinese or perhaps Japanese Awaji but this piece isn't marked. I've only come across 2 Awaji pieces before and they were marked.

 

Sweet...stunning glaze...wish it were mine! Thanks!

 

It could be....4 the right price..

 

HA! Probably more like the wicked witch!

 

Very nice,a little different and beautiful colour.

 

I'm pretty sure it has well-deserved value far beyond my reach...sigh.

 

Always true!

 

I see her, in there!

 

if Chinese , I'd expect to see that ugly crackle..... but this is soft and nice..
though, not being a pottie,,,,,,,,, ??

 

Awaji is a good thought as well, have seen pieces claiming to be awaji that are not marked, similar shape

Beautiful piece

 

I just bought one the same shape last week, also unmarked and no clue if it's Chinese or Japanese. Same shape, same crackle. Different color, but I love yours.

 

Well, my first thought would be Chinese, but seeing that listing, Japanese Awaji seems likely! From the description: Japanese Awaji Pottery Stickneck Monochrome Vase Meji Period. Did not know the term "stickneck." Learned my something new today!

 

I went looking and found a dead ringer for the OP's on 1st Dibs. The Sold price is over $900. https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/a...e-stick-neck-vase-meiji-period/id-f_14984262/

 

I posted this on the FB Awaji page and some said possibly Awaji while others said Chinese. So I then posted on the Chinese pottery page, where more than 1 person said it's 19th century Chinese porcelain.

 

Notice that the Awaji vase base is uncoloured while OP's is blue. Perhaps that may be the reason why some would say Chinese. Dunno. But interesting.
