Small vase (?) with an Asian themed garden party with women in kimonos and what looks like small children. There are flowers lining the top with blue leaf/vine lining the bottom. I have no idea about the marking. Forgive me if I didn’t photograph it correctly.
Probably a ginger pot. The mark should go 90 degrees to the left.
I think 90 degrees to the right.... the Imperial mark often used on 20th century Chinese exports. It is a ginger jar missing its round lid. I collected many of these. With and without lids. Nice colorful motif, with ladies and children in a summer courtyard. gotheborg.com is a great resource for identification of Chinese and Japanese ceramic items for over 10 years. Tongzhi 1862-1874 seems to be the mark used, see link.
