<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 401078, member: 8363"]I only have one piece of Oriental pottery and since I know absolutely nothing about pottery, I wondered if anyone here might give me some clues about its country of origin, what it was used for, age, etc. - anything! I got this lidded jar years ago at a small antique shop. An Asian antiques seller and I had been talking over several days about some items, and he said that there was a piece next door that "they didn't know what they had." He said something about the black glaze. We went over and even though it was a lot of money for me at the time, I thought it was interesting looking with a neck instead of a continuous shape from top to bottom and it seemed to be very vibrantly colored. It has no marks anywhere except for the tiny label with a 31 that is new. It was hard to photograph because it is a deep shiny black, so forgive the photographic inadequacy.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]139687[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]139688[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]139689[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]139690[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]139691[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
