[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 1071515, member: 2844"]Welcome Eileen, your family's mystery is a beauty. It could be Neolithic, and I would say Japan, not Korea. I would look at Jomon ware, the earliest Japanese pottery. Iron Age ware from the Yayoi period, which komo mentioned, is an option. Haji is another name, haji ware manufacture started in the Kofun period which blooey mentioned. The Kofun period came after Yayoi. A little about the other names mentioned: - Sueki or Sue ware is grey. - Silla, which is in Korea, is unlikely imo. - Sanage ware only appeared ca 1000 yrs ago. Old, but too recent. The Sanage ware I know is partly glazed, so I would leave Sanage out of the search as well. Is there a museum or archaeology department you could take it to? I don't think we have anyone on the forum who knows enough to say anything for sure, other than pre-historic to early ancient periods. But at least we gave you a little push. Will you let us know how your search goes?[/QUOTE]
