THIS IS A FINE EXAMPLE OF VERY OLD ASIAN POTTERY.  THE DIMENSIONS ARE: 7 3/8" DIAMETER X 3 3/4" HEIGHT.  THE ESTIMATED AGE IS LATE MING OR EARLY TO MID QING DYNASTY (1644-1912).  THERE IS CRAZING IN THE GLAZE AND CRACKS THROUGHOUT THE POTTERY CONSISTENT WITH VERY OLD ASIAN POTTERY.  THERE ARE ALSO RUST MARKS COMING THROUGH THE GLAZE WHICH IS ALSO AN INDICATION OF AGE.  I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS PATTERN SO THE COUNTRY COULD BE CHINA, VIETNAM OR SOMEWHERE ELSE IN ASIA.  COMMENTS FROM EXPERTS ARE WELCOMED.

THE PROVENANCE IS FROM AN ESTATE IN NORTHERN NEVADA, USA.   THIS ARTWORK IS GUARANTEED TO BE AN AUTHENTIC ANTIQUE AND NOT A MODERN REPRODUCTION.
