Is this large earthen storage jar Chinese?

I haven't found any real close match, just similar forms, none with the colors and the white glaze ground or with the loop handles/lugs with faces on them. I think it might be Chinese or southeast Asian. Not sure if the decoration is a dragon or a phoenix or what? It measures 14" tall and 13" at the widest diameter.

 

Wonder if it is from India with the elephant heads.
Just a thought, I could be wrong.

 

Thanks cluttered,
I thought those elephant heads were bearded faces, regardless, I hadn't thought to look towards India, something I'll do now.

 

I have looked at this from a few different ways and have come up blank. While this certainly could be Asian, I get a bit of a Mediterranean vibe from it. The dragon (or whatever it is) is so stylized that it is almost as if whoever did it didn't really know what a dragon should look like or was consciously trying to downplay their dragon appearance. I am wondering if this might be Italian or from some other southern European country.

I don't see those handles as elephants. I initially saw them as dolphins until I saw those faces on them. Very different.

 

Thanks Brad, I thought Italian or thereabouts and looked real hard to find similars from that area without any luck. Last night I really hit it hard and still no definite origin but I'm starting to think Annamese or somewhere in that region. There was allot of Annamese pottery with the same white ground and similar decorative elements.

 

Not Indian, I can tell you that much.

 

I think I figured it out, when I search google images for "Wucai Jar" (southern China) I see many with the same decoration. Mine seams pretty low quality compared to most but definitely similar in form, colors and decoration.

Have to say that I don't possibly see how this could have been produced by a Chinese potter. Perhaps someone elsewhere using a Chinese piece as model.

 

Like someone in Mexico maybe?
