Featured HUGE asain vase

I have bought this piece for 150 euro without knowing how big it realy was untill the people delivered it. Would like to know from which country it is and how old. The dragon has 4 claws.

 

It probably be good to see the bottom, but you may have to get a crane to lift that thing!

Is that a regular-sized desk it's sitting next to?!

 

impossible to move it, and next to it is a bedside table, 103 cm high is the vase.

 

the inside is unglazed but can't see if it is hand turned or cast in one piece.

 

I don’t know what Asian country this was from but I can show you a little on how they are made.

this is a factory in Jingdezhen, China ATM they are making blue and white.

these would crush your desk they are made sections two or 3 craftsman will stack the sections dry attaching the pieces with slip once assembled they get a final trim. In these you can see where they were joined. depending on size 2 or 3 potters work together making each section.

 

WOW even bigger, that will not fit in my tiny house

 

IIRC, that style of flaming pearl looks like a Tibetan style. I forget about the number of dragon toes, but this isn't Japanese. @Any Jewelry may be able to enlighten us further!

 

could be vietnamese Bien Hoa

 

I LOVE those giant blue and white vases ! Oh to have a house big enough to put those in !

 

found a same one and it is chinese 1850-1900 according the site of caroussel

 

well again proven you can´t rely on the information on the internet. It turnes out that the info i posted about the dragon motif is not correct and was just thought up by the seller to make more money. So please if anyone knows more about this jar would love to hear it.

 

here is the bottom and a closeup

 

can you make more out of it now you have seen the bottom. nobody seems to know the age and origin so it seems???
