    I recently bought this vase at an estate sale just because I thought it looked interesting. There is a band of metal at the top of the neck, but it looks like the ceramic opening was poured over the rim of the metal. There are markings on the bottom, and I have no idea what they are or what they say--I don't even know what direction they should be going in, so I may well have the pic upside down.

    Does anyone have any idea where this might have been made, and when, and what the markings on the bottom mean. I'd love to know!

      The band of metal is probably for reinforcement. The shape of the vase and the blue-on-white technique looks Chinese. In China they used this form of vase for holy water. But it was probably not meant for the Chinese market. Maybe for the Persian market under the Qajar dynasty ?
