[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 205323, member: 85"]Not the back of the vases. The [B]bottom[/B]. 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. [URL]http://english.vietnamnet.vn/fms/vietnam-in-photos/90917/bien-hoa-pottery.html[/URL] I will defer to khl889 though. Their experience with Asian pottery is much better than mine.[/QUOTE]
