Subject:Request help on age of 100 Boys Ginger Jar
Posted By: Roger Sun, Feb 26, 2023 IP: 2601:281:d300:975:59
Greeting!
Bought this ginger jar today. I believe the mark is Kangxi, but I don't think it's that old. Would appreciate your thoughts on the jar.
thanks!

The crackle in the glaze indicates this probably is a pottery and not porcelain jar with what could be a transfer-printed pattern, thus made in the late 20th century or subsequently. If the piece feels unusually heavy compared to something porcelain of similar size then it's of recent manufacture.

Best regards,

Bill H.

Thanks much Bill! That's very interesting! I never thought about the crackle being an indicator! Thanks again!
