Chinese vases, any clue of which era

guys here i have attached few pics of some vases. But i cant guess from which era they are. Pls help me. if you guys have any clue regarding those

 

May we see pictures of the bottoms.
Are the insides glazed or is the unfinished pottery showing?

 

Others will be along in the morning, but extra pictures will help.

 

wow...those are so not well done.....
I would say they are not old at all.....I maybe not chinese either....

 

Sloppy work in a Chinese style is a hallmark of Vietnamese potters.

Search "Dona Vietnam Vase" on Google Images, for example.

hey thanks a lot. @khl889. By the way, in your opinion are they around 1950s to 1970s. ??

 

@clutteredcloset49 i will post the back of the vases shortly. I came to office. will post them soon. By the way just for my knowledge, what can you usually get from the bottom of the vase, is it the make? or what from the glazed insides?

 

Not the back of the vases. The bottom. What it stands on.
We look to see how well done the bottom is. Whether it is glazed, if any of the clay shows, color of the clay if exposed, if there is a ring, kiln marks, . Sometimes photos show marks you can't see with the eye.
If numbers, sometimes the way numbers are written indicate a country.
Little things you wouldn't think of.

And I was asking if the inside was glazed, because I was thinking Vietnam as well.
I was thinking the first vase might be 1940s-60s Bien Hoa.

I will defer to khl889 though. Their experience with Asian pottery is much better than mine.

 

I'm just throwing out suggestions on this, no ID.

Note that Dona pottery usually has a mark on the bottom, though it might not be clear.

As to age, for sad and not to be forgotten historical reasons, much Vietnamese pottery was brought back to the U.S. in the 60s and early 70s.

 

Height? Diameter? As far as I know, Vietnamese ceramics have been imported to the US in significant quantities for decades. I used to see it in the dollar stores but haven't been in them since our neighborhood one moved many years ago. There could be millions of pieces of Vietnamese ceramics in the US by now.

 

But from 1975 to 1994 there was an embargo on trade with Vietnam, and bilateral trade didn't really begin in earnest until the signing of a trade agreement in 2001.

 

Ok, 1.6 decades then; still enough time to import countless boatloads of ceramics.

 

Ya...if anyone was doing that.....

 

hey guys thanks for the valuable information very much. i appreciate youll a lot.@clutteredclosed. Here i will attach the pics of the bottoms of the vases. Just in my opinion by the looks of the bottom of the vases. can they be around made in 1940s or 1950s

 

Please reply with you ideas. By the way i have found some unique piece of antique. i will upload the pics. its supposed to be a camel leg bone. carved with different carvings. i do believe they have to be something with middle east. i will upload the pics for you guys

 

@springfld.arsenal the height is around 18 inches roughly. and the diameter on top is around 8 inches.

 

Hi - Looks to me like A Song dynasty vase, middle eastern people on it because the Song was highly influenced by the silk road which let to the middle east, the incising was done during the Song which took a long time to add the glazes without the glazes getting into the cracks, Song colors as well, not 1940-70`s more like a 1000 years old, nice piece- rich

 

Here is one with a Dona mark, this is definitely Vietnamese, no way Song dynasty.
