Help on Identifying these Chinese / China old Jars and Black gemstone

Hi! Im Bob and new here. I thought I'd just ask and come straight to this section.

an aunt asked me to look at the pieces left by her husband, I identified most of the items but these,

I have no idea at all about jars, porcelains etc. tried google, it confuses me instead. lol

I just took some quick shots and I forgot the sizes perhaps about more than 1 foot. Her place is far so I cant take anymore photos.

2 white and blue jars one with men designs

and

one with flowers and dragon with Philippine Museum tag (is it authentic?)

and another piece of gemstone perhaps? size about 4-5 inches

I hope you can enlighten me about these pieces. are these possible authentic pieces, what could be their possible age.

Thank you so much I would deeply appreciate any input.

Regards

- Bob

 

Hola, and welcome, Bob.
There are plenty of brainiacs here (not including me) who will be along and answer your questions!

 

Gracias Pete, I will be waiting for replies

But... de nada!

 

edited cuz i'm a twerp !

 

Kind of strange, though, Komo. The headdress looks like pottery to me - or does it look like paint over the same stone?

 

Geeze Bakers....Thanks........My head is not in the game today !!!

It looks like wood...a dark macassar maybe....the whole thing.
Likely Mexican.......where's the Monster ???

 

ahhhh....with the feathers painted on headdress this kinda thing gets mistaken for NA....but it could be aztec....maybe even Peru......

Where's Taupou.......?????

 

Perhaps some kind of black wood?

 

Hey all! the "bust" like is heavy. not wood definitely and it is very smooth. what is it? Hoping inputs on jars as well

 

I was thinking mezo-American, myself. So all is wood, with paint and glued-in stones?

 

danke Messi,

I would like to tell everyone that he collected anything he likes not basing on age or authenticity

 

oh I will test that again once I get back to the place of my aunt. will try to look for any wooden part. I just held it for minute and I thought it was kind of marble or yeah stone because it is heavy. Thanks

 

Taupou is a Samoan cultural tradition, Professor. There was a fabulous exhibition here at the Cleveland Museum of Art.

 

Some ebony is so dense it's heavy as lead...

 

Taupou....grasshopper.....is a member here well versed in many cultures & regularly beats me to proper basket identification !!

 

Oh.

Thank you, Professor.

 

If that's not wood............I'm a horny toad !!!

 

lol yeah Im sure its not wood toad but maybe there are wooden parts

 

Well, I see wood.....you lets us know what you find...
