Posted By: yurike Tue, Jan 12, 2010 IP: 98.231.164.144
Good evening forum,
Was hoping someone could enlighten me on the age of this vase and the meaning of the ink writing
on the bottom. The base is 2.875 height is 7.5 widest point is 10.5 dia. Glaze color is very close to pictures.
Thank you for your time and expertise.

Zhang ware is not a new name, I believed it first appeared in book during Early or Mid Qing Dynasty and like most minor kilns, very little are known about them till the modern time.

What is tongqi in Chinese?

I don't think it is easy to find but zhang ware is not expensive as the Dehua ware in today's market.
