Hello everyone! is this a jar? Should it have a lid? Where is it from? x x

Hello everyone..is this Japanese,Chinese or somewhere else? x x
I think it's a jar,not a vase? Is it a ginger jar,or a tea jar? Should have a lid I think? ( or am I wrong as always )? xx
Doesn't look very old.

It's approx 3 and a half inches down,the hole for things to go in is approx two inches.






Thank you everyone x x x

 

i like it, would think japanese, might have some age as well, others will know more

 

Thank you Charlie <3 x x x
I like it too! But I tend to like a fair few things so I have a houseful xx x

 

Japanese, missing a lid. I can't remember what the mark is, someone will know. 1920s or30s.

 

It looks like Japanese Kutani ware. And yes, missing a lid.
I think the mark should be the other way around


@Mat probably knows the period and the maker.

 

Hi, it is indeed Kutani, early 20th c. The mark reads "Wataya sei" (綿谷製), made by Wataya.

 

Thank you my Mrs. B x x x

 

Fabulous,thank you so much!

 

I did think was upside down, after I'd posted it...looks better the right way up!
Many thanks x x xx
