Quatrefoil flambé glaze vase

Preston Barski — Sat, 13 Jun 2026 21:50:34 +0000

Hello all,

I picked this up today and need some insight into it. It's 9⅝x2⅞x3⅞ inches, weighs just shy of 2 lbs. It's not marked, the crackling seems to be naturalized but not ancient.

Seeking opinions into its age.

Thoughts on Green Glazed Water Dropper

PT Collector — Sat, 13 Jun 2026 18:01:20 +0000

Hi Folks,

I recently found this green glazed water dropper and would appreciate any thoughts. I've found a similar example from Bukowskis depicting a frog that appears to be Kangxi, and other examples ranging from Ming to Republic, however have not found one with this form. I've included photos of my item and the Bukowskis example below, thank you for any ideas.

Imari plate? Japanese or Chinese?

Michael O'Dwyer — Mon, 08 Jun 2026 05:02:20 +0000

I need help identifying this plate, as far as I know it was my grandmothers.

Is it Japanese or Chinese

If genuine what sort of value would it have.

Plate is in storage so dimensions are approximate (11 in diameter)

TIA

Significance of glaze rolling over the footrim

George Converse — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 17:41:03 +0000

On a Youtube video some time ago, Peter discussed the importance of whether, on a foot rim, the glaze extends up and some distance over the foorrim but I forgot whether he said it would suggest a reproduction or a genuine antique.
