Dear forum
I would be grateful if you could look at this jar and advise if it could be TRANSITIONAL
I always thought that it is,but someone told me that it is a fake because I did not pay a lot of money for it
Many thanks in advance

Hi Toan, There are reasons to believe this piece may be transitional. 1) the glaze has a slight bluish tone, with thick large bubbles. 2) grit like material on the foot rim with orange tinge where the glaze contacts the biscuit. 3) turning ridge on the base. 4) fairly thick and heavy potting 5) blue hazy color with a lot of dept.6) correct design Show me a good photo of the inside.

Hi LEE thanks for your advice
My camera packed up at the moment
I will try to get the photo of the inside asap
Kind regards
toan

Dear LEE and forum

Many thanks for your help

Hi Toan that does look transitional on the inside. The construction of your jar is similar to Wanli and late ming pieces. Good ridging.

This vase is probably correct too.

Hi Toan here are some pics of a Wanli vase for your comparison

Many thanks LEE
