I neglected to measure it but it couldn't have held more that a cup or two and was about 6" tall. I researched the mark on Gotheborg and it looks like it shared some characteristics with the Arita marks. The section was "Arita - Imitating Chinese [I]Ming dynasty Chenghua[/I] mark". Any help with figuring this piece out would be much appreciated. Thank you!
