    This small ginger jar is about 6" high x 4" widest diameter. It is marked on the bottom. Based on the Gotheborg web site, this is Chinese, possibly decorated in Hong Kong, but couldn't find this exact mark. Probably 1950s-1990s. For $1 I could not pass it up. It is hand painted and I think the flowers are either hand etched or enameled onto the vase. Not sure which.

      Try to think logically , you always look for the NON Common DENOMINATOR
      so you only got to remember lets say 1 symbol out of 60 during 1640-1910

      and that,s the mark right under , with the key in it
      so you don,t define it by the fish hook symbol right on type otherwise you could end up by the Guangxhu period and this is a Qianlong Nianzhi mark


      this is quite new m this is later then fifties, probably stamped but not rubber stamped, no oneven pressure, no air bubbling, but can,t see well

      Thanks for your comment, mikelv85! Its purty!

      That for your comments, Waki! That is really helpful. I was pretty sure it was Nianzhi, but stuck on finding a complete match of the mark. I am satisfied with some eye candy, on this one and it is cheap enough to use without worrying about breaking it.

      It's a beauty Kevin.
      I see ginger jars from time to time but know so little about dating them I wouldn't know what to get.
      I would have taken this one because of that gorgeous painting on it

      Thanks for your comments, Karen! The color bomb, small size and price decided me on this one. I figured it was probably very new and not worth much but it is a nice little mood lifter.

      Thanks for loving my jar, DejaVu2, Blueyecon and clockerman!
