Subject:Identifying Chinese Teracotta Urn marks
Posted By: John in Oz Fri, Jan 08, 2016 IP: 180.216.50.26
Hi - I was hoping someone may be able to assist in identifying the age/makers marks of this urn. Our knowledge is limited and our long ongoing online research has not assisted just confused us even more trying to identify the marks.
We understand it is Chinese, possibly made for the export market, and that is has some damage, some more recent and other that appears quite old.
Can you assist us or point us in a direction that will assist in dating the urn and it's origins.
Many thanks from down under in Oz!! Happy New Year!
Regards
John in Oz

strange. the only part of the impressed mark I can read from your photo reads Dai Nippon, in other words, it's supposed to be Japanese, but I am unaware of such terracotta urns from Japan, where they might have made something similar in the late 19th century in bronze instead.

This looks like Tokoname red ware with dragon and clouds
decoration. From what I can read, the mark says Dai Nihon/
Nippon. Item circa Meiji to Taisho period (late 19th to early 20th C.
