      can anyone tell me anything about this piece? i'm curious about it.
    2. noob, 9 years ago
      To me the scrolling pattern of the vines is more reminiscent of Japanese 'tako karakusa'. Google images for that term.

      thank you noob. it does look a lot like 'tako karakusa'. i wasn't familiar w/ that pottery before. thanks again for your comment.

      it's a typical Chinese provincial urn. Rare to find in this size and condition, excellent finding. Adore. Probably from mid 19c, not cheap friend, not cheap. It's designed for congee.
