Regardless, i think that this is a beautiful piece. it reminds me of majolica. Sorry the shot of the bottom is so poor. i'll try to get a better pic if people think it would be helpful. not sure if the staining on the bottom is the kiss of death - the brown stain i'm always warning people about. it says 'Made in China in the diamond and i can't make out the other words and marks.

Made for the export market. Oh yes, the dreaded brown teabag aging.
It's a lovely piece, ho2cultcha, love the colors and glaze. :)
A trader once said to me about a Chinese made pot.....is ming! and I agreed yes its ming but minging! Yours isn't by the way!
thanks Efes, katherine, GeodeJem, and Lisa!
that might be good news Lisa! thank you!
Great information, always learning something from CW. :)
i just added a much clearer pic of the bottom of the piece. i think it may be older than i thought - or at least not new. what do you think?
i heard back on a FB site that this is an early 20th century piece of Shiwan ware - and a very good one too. i'm happy!
That's great, ho2, very glad for you. :)
thank you katherine. it's generated quite a bit of interest on the chinese antiques fb site.
according to an expert in Chinese art, this piece was a scholar's object. the name of the scholar is written on the bottom.
Chinese works of art are highly valued right now, as I understand it. :)
whereas the internet has meant the reduction of value for so many antiques throughout the world, Chinese antiques and works of art/craft values have continued to creep upwards as people have continue to increase their expendable income in China.
