    Those mountains look Chinese, so that's my first guess. What I want to know is the language of that newspaper! It's not Vietnamese, Lao, Thai, or Cambodian. But it's familiar... Burmese?

    It looks Korean to me. That blue is reminiscent of Japanese. @Mat will know.
    It is Sinhalese, Mariyan is in Sri Lanka.

    That was also used by some Japanese manufacturers. An imperial or dynastic mark is usually not of that particular period.

    They made ceramics in what they considered to be the Chinese style, for the Chinese market.

    aha never thought about it. i thought It was cheap in China at that time period. So why would Chinese people buy from Japan after incurring the shipping cost and everything?
