Subject:Qianlong ginger pot
Posted By: Marote Mon, Sep 04, 2023 IP: 2001:8a0:7f10:2400:5

I bought this pot, and thanks to gotheborg.com I know it has the Qianlong mark.
Based on the condition, I assume it's a 20th century piece, like many "Qianlong" items. Is that a correct assumption?
And (not sure if this is the right place to find the anser, but still ...) I know the one the left coat of arms is of Portugal, but I'm unable to find the 2nd one (seems something Spanish). Any thoughts on that too?

Oops … Apparently something went wrong in the end, because I had uploaded the photos. Here’s a new attempt…

Appears to be a late 20th century transfer-decorated piece with apocryphal Qianlong mark. Decorative value only.

Best regards,

Bill H.

Your jar is a modern one with decorative value only.One of the arms shown are a very crude approximation of those of Portugal.( The seven objects around the shield are supposed to be castles) The other arms are a modified representation of those of Spanish Aragon.Together they portray the theoretical union of "Hispania".

Thank you Bill & Plasticman for your replies/additional information.
I only paid a decorative value, so I'll just make my mother happy with a new decorative item and keep on looking for new interesting items :)
