What are these symbols? Any clues friends?

Hi all I’m totally baffled by this one… I have posted it before but have just come across it again. I’m going to post it on the other forums, it looks to me like an urn it’s definitely had something burnt in it but has some rune looking symbols on it

 

No idea if they are correct, but I found this:

Fine Asian Blackware Pottery Lidded Jar w/ Auspicious Symbols ca. 19-20th c.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/124665811273?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28
.

 

one thread in one forum would be enuf.....

maybe Korean

 

Oh my gosh, the font in that listing is SO BIG

 

My next question is, what do they mean by "auspicious symbols"?

 

similar that seem to have a bit taller collar

Pottery Jar with Chinese Style Symbols (20thcenturyforum.com)

 

buy it......buy it from me now !!!

 

Thank you!!!! I’ve been trying to find out for years… I even sent a pic to a museum and had a reply that someone had created a hoax maybe

 

I know….. I was desperate for an answer it’s been bothering me

 

From that link:

"Not convinced it's Oriental. Is it a burnished clay, rather than glazed, and made by the pinch pot method, rather than wheel turned, moulded or slip cast? If so it could be Barro negro pottery ("black clay") eg, from Oaxaca, Mexico"

Any thoughts on that @TallCakes?

All I know is that those symbols mean you will have great health, wealth and prosperity if you buy it from me now!

 

Komokwa that was meant for you…

 

Ok sooooo… is it Mexican, Aztec or oriental?

 

then bump an old thread.....
or plead your case....

but posting the same item in different threads......is a little like spamming and is not popular....

I hope you find out what it really is though..

 

福 or Fú = Chinese according to search.

Thank you so much everyone for your answers!!!

oh my goodness!! Didn’t realise I was doing anything wrong…. So sorry if I offended anyone…. I only wanted an answer…. I figured if I asked the opinion of anyone experienced in pottery and tribal I’d find what I needed…. Doesn’t that make sense!

 

no idea really other than those symbols look a bit like strange cattle brands
