<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 1548100, member: 2844&quot;]I don&#039;t know which Connoisseurs and Lovers you are waiting for besides us....</p><p>But since you have already written to the Princessehof <font size="4">(Friesland <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />)</font> about the German/Belgian jugs, why not ask them about this beauty. Be sure to send them good, informative photos in good daylight though.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Asian ceramics experts at Princessehof are world renowned experts on East Asian storage vessels. I have most of their publications on East Asian ceramics, including one on storage vessels, but they seem to have gone awol, so at the moment I can&#039;t help with specifics. Given the size (which I hadn&#039;t noticed before <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/redface.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" />) it is probably Chinese. Age is impossible to tell from photos taken in a dark room against a dark background, and no base.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first book my East Asian ceramics teacher ever told me to get asap, was by Nanne Ottema, the founder of the Princessehof Museum <font size="3">(Friesland <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie75" alt=":playful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)</font>.</p><p>Friesland has a strong VOC connection, and it is said that ca 1900 every Frisian home had at least one piece of Wanli porcelain, hence Ottema&#039;s interest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
