Hi, does anyone have any info on, I believe, its a blanc de chine jar? Possibly the age..? Dimension approx 11"h. Thanks.

Hi Mazzy

These are late 20th Century decorative pieces.

Check the body and base very carefully for a very small impressed mark. It's sometimes well hidden and it reads...

'Hong Kong'

Hi Gary, I checked the bottom, the mark is china. Does this still indicate its a modern piece? Thanks

Hi Mazzy

Well it certainly makes it 20th Century.

The fact that it's stamped 'China' and the broad shaped shoulder seems to point to an early 20th Century date but it's very difficult without handling!

Have you any more information about it?

Gary.

Hi Gary, no unfortunately, I don't have any other info..The color is ivory/white and does have alot of crazing. Not sure if this is pertinent info though? WOuld there be any other way I could tell if this piece were early 20th century? I appreciate your time and expertise!

Hi Mazzy

Nothing comes to mind except the shape which does seem to date it around that period.

I'm sure another contributor will add some other pearls of wisdom shortly....

Gary
