Dear Mr Nagy, have you got a thought how old this object is and what it is?

A ceramic vessel depicting a duck or waterfowl; based on its shape and decoration, it is thought to be from the Korean Peninsula.
Assuming it is an original piece, it can be dated to the 12th–15th centuries.
If, however, it is a modern replica or an antique-style craft —which is highly likely— then it can be dated from the 20th century to the present.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Thank you mr nagy, and i can confirm the piece is real and not a repro. I found this one online but that one is chinese. did the koreans copy chinese artefacts?

Note what appears to be a faint line going down the center from the beak to the tail feathers. This feature suggests that it was made by molding in two halves, which were then joined (luted) together with traces of the joints still visible.

Yes my piece has a line running trough the middle could be moulded but molding go way back in time.
