The rim patterns make me think it might be Japanese.

I apologize Giovanni. You are right, I should had thanked you before.
Dear “qwerty”, it is not that I, in particular, want some thanks; It is also in regards to everybody.
I take the opportunity to say my opinion what a Forum should be. There are people out there who thinks that in a Forum there are experts that are there all the day, waiting for someone accessing the Forum, asking “what is this” with he only intention to buy or sell, in other words to make profit on something that they do not know.
Well I believe that this is simply silly, everybody has better things to do than stay here for that function.
A Forum is a place where members can exchange opinions and knowledge, preferably within people that has interest on the matter.
The above is to explain my reaction, sorry if you is who has been involved, it has not been against you in particular.
It is just to say that I am not willing to share knowledge to whom thinks that he can just spill information for trying to make some money, with no interest at all on Asian art.
Giovanni
Hi understand your point Giovanni but I kindly disagree with you. The home page states '' asian art on ebay for collectors and dealers" . From my understanding, the forum was created for buyers and sellers on ebay and was not intended to be a connaisseur/collector only platform. This was posted under the ''help identify this'' section. I agree, my request could had been more respectfully phrased. Many of us are trying to make some money to provide for our family but I understand experienced members may be annoyed by the seemingly silly questions some of us novice ask. Again, thank you for your time. In no way I believe any member owes me their expertise and I greatly appreciate your help.

Dear Bill,
I think that I have not been able to express in clear way what I meant. My English is quite poor, sorry.
I understand that the Forum is also addressed to dealers. I decided to participate in this Forum just because I too sell something on ebay, although randomly.
I was addressing to some kind of people (it seems incredible, but they exist) who think that a Forum is like a sort of Wikipedia, where you ask, get the answer and that’s it. No need to feel at least a bit grateful to whom answered. It seems that such people thinks like “you expert are there paid by who knows, and your obligation is to answer our questions. Finish.” It is clearly not like that, and I think that everybody has better things to do than answering to such people.
I said that I am sorry if what I was trying to explain happened in a post related to you. I frankly do not know if you are one of such person, don’t think so by your answer.
And since we are talking, thank you for having signed your message. It must be because I am not that young, and because I am not so active on socials (no facebook, no twitter) but I feel myself like an idiot in calling someone by let say “Donald duck” or else.
I frankly tend to not answer to whom is not signing. My mania, my fixation? Ok, my own self.
Regards
Giovanni
Dear Giovanni,
Your English is far better than my Italian, so don't apologise!
I must confess that multiple queries posted by certain Forum members who are interested solely in dealing and in nothing else is something I too find irritating, but those members have every entitlement to use the Forum for the purpose of furthering their business ends, if that is their aim, and it is entirely up to other Forum members as to whether they spend time engaging with such queries or not. That said, it might nevertheless be courteous if commercially-driven Forum members were to be up front about their business interests (one or two of them are), rather than asking questions that might seem as if they are being asked simply for knowledge's sake.
Incidentally, you might be interested to know that gotheborg.com actively discourages use of its site purely for commercial purposes. The site we are contributing to here, of course, is of a very different order, and we need to be comfortable with that.
Best wishes,
Alan
Dear Alan,
are you on Gotheborg? I am there since 2004.
Regards
Giovanni
I agree with Alan, people should use this forum how they wish, and other members can judge whether to join in or not.
I think this section, on identification, is more about helping people avoid losing money than helping them make money, given the nature of the chinese antiques market. It doesn't take long to give your opinion on date or authenticity , and the more answers are given by different people the more likely a consensus is to be correct. In this case we can all learn and share.
But it is always nice for inquirers to explain their purpose, eg. they are a dealer handling customer items, as one poster has recently done.
tam
Totally agree and well put by Alan, Giovanni and Tam.
It can be frustrating especially if someone asks a odd question which may take the reader a few more hours to read and research before replying to said request without any thanks.

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.
