It looks like a "winter melon" jar, made in Ming dynasty, folk kiln.

Likely mid-to-late 20th century. Mismatched top with three badly depicted bats was painted by someone poorly trained in brush painting. Bird & flowers on jar not much better. Makes me wonder if it might have come out of Southeast Asia.

Best regards,

Bill H.

Thanks both for your answers! Bill, it it really icredible to see how bad was the simetry of the bats painted in the top. Now that i look at it properly, even I would do something better :)

Thanks a lot again for sharing your knowledge!

Andre
