Hi!.....This is what I think is a Chinese Ginger Jar...it has a soft floral design ...its approx. 3.25 in ht x 3 in w......it was in excellent condition until I damaged the top at home.....smh....but otherwise its in good condition...it does have 4 character mark that looks Chinese....due to the very soft and somewhat faded design I thought it may be a little older than 20th century?......well I'm hoping anyway.....if someone can shed some light on the age that would be great.........
It appears to be similar to one I have that George told me is Longhuan. I am away from my folder of information, so I can't post mine for comparison of the mark but I will in a couple of days. It might still be available on the Post Something Green topic for March 17. Sharon
I love celadons, there is something about the glaze that is so restful.
I can't see the mark clearly; I know it is hard to see these let alone take photos, I have tried too on one I had, even tried taking a rubbing with no luck. I can see one character which is used a lot in the later 20th c so I would guess this may be from around then, maybe 1980s.
I may be wrong; it would be nice if someone can say it is older.
That is a great way of catching the mark, I never thought of that!
The marks look very similar, I think Made in China and as it is left to right that would date it to after 1970, it is on Gotheborg site so easily checked to see if I am misremembering.
@julia I must just keep missing the mark on Gotheborg but I did see on a query section on another site that anytime you see the rectangle with a line through it in the mark, that it means made in China and is modern ca. 1970 and later. Sorry the mark is not right side up. Which seems about right, I bought mine off a street vendor outside the American Club in 1991 Jakarta, I did not have to leave the car to shop. Sharon
it says Long Quan China. I don't know too much about the mark. But the style of... "something China" sounds 20th c to me.
Thanks, AngP. I did check for that first as I wasn't sure it did say China, but couldn't find a mark saying Long Quan to compare it to. This mark isn't easy to find. I need to try to remember it. I did find one Celadon vase with this mark but it was simply translated as made in china.
I have no doubt you are correct, but in that case the bit on Gotheborg may not apply if you have read this right to left? I have no doubt this is later 20th c but I am interested in the mark and how to read it.
@julia first, the arrow I put, that side is the top. secondly, they wrote it in Traditional Chinese. not simplified Chinese. ( but that cannot be used to date on Seals) People nowadays in 2021, if they make a seal, they make not in simplified Chinese.
Thank you very much for the explanation. I find it all very interesting, but I do wish I knew as much as you! 😊
@julia you are welcome. I actually don't know much! truly. but language related questions, I can help with.
@nyccat Thanks for the arrow, so it would read right to left with the almost rectangle with line through it at the top left, good to know. Sharon
@sharonp......Wow they are very much alike.....I was hoping that it was at least early 20th century
@lotus42 the seal is literally only a place of manufacture seal, Longquan, China, mine was not shipped to the United States so no helpful hints on age regarding China or Made in China to date. I would guess mid-century to 1980s, but I do not know when they started with the impressed mark and I do not know if the base would tell an expert anything or not. I did not find anything about the mark in Gotheborg, which does not mean it is not there somewhere. Watersilkdragon, I have not read what they have to say about celadons, but you might try them.

The art of calligraphy - and for the ancient Chinese it certainly was an art - aimed to demonstrate superior control and skill using brush and ink. Calligraphy established itself as one of the major Chinese art forms during the Han dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE), and for two millennia after, all educated men were expected to be proficient at it.
