Hello I have just rediscovered this and thought I would post it, it’s very big and It’s never been used by the looks of it. Most probably boxed for nearly 10 years by me, so wondering how old it really is. Very nice and looks like the ginger jar I posted a few days ago
Wan Shou Wu Jiang
Wan-Auspicious character meaning innumerable, literary 'ten thousand'.
hou-Auspicious character meaning 'longevity
Zhongguo (China) Jingdezhen 'Made In China' small mark horizontal
this is porcelain with a high percantage of lead
its number before letters letters
Wu-Auspicious character meaning 'no', together with jiang as in wujiang meaning 'limitless
1441. Jiang-Auspicious character meaning 'border', together with wu as in wujiang meaning 'limitless'
actually you get an principle of double emphasing
because the 10000 is also endless much for chinese is 10000 a manner to endless, so big it can,t be measured
Zhongguo (China) Jingdezhen 'Made In China, KITE MARK ! utter left horizontal
Jingdezhen is the third mark from the left
HIGH LEAD CONTAINMENT , !
still cute
Thanks apostata great help and information, because you said it was older I had a closer look and is does look older or more faded & not as well made as the jar.
