    Hello! I was hoping anyone can give me some information on this piece of pottery? It's heavy for its size maybe 8inches. I picked it up at thrift shop. Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

      Just when I thought I'd seen everything....what a curious piece of pottery!
    2. Hern2002, 8 years ago
      Hello Efesgirl! I totally agree that's why I bought it. Another lady said it might be a incense holder. I'll still keep searching for info!

      I don't know if it's Japanese or Chinese. Well, here are two website that may help decipher the marks:

      happy peeing

      will it ought to be an da ming qianlong nianzhi =Great Qing Dynasty, Qianlong Period, but that is 6 characters so they tossed to characters namelij nianzhi meaning made

      the left under symbol which looks like pinada in combination with the left which looks like inoculated oran oetang defines this as made in macao around 1970

      it is an urinal, so i wish you an happy peeing 2024

      Well, the use of this was a suprise! Pretty fancy vessel for a urinal!

      Faith.k, I suspect apostata was just "having us on," as the British might say. };-)

      Google Lens says it's an incense burner.

      Well, leave it to me to just blindly believe! I've always had to be wary due to my extreme gullibility! My friends and family love putting one over on me, free entertainment!
    8. apostata apostata, 3 months ago
      apostata was, not having you on , because he never fools gullible people, that is what he believes, ,and he certainly not f,,, around with Faith .k
    9. apostata apostata, 3 months ago
      so if a am wrong , i am just wrong
    10. apostata apostata, 3 months ago
      keramikos is right it,s open and angular, good job
    11. Faith.k Faith.k, 3 months ago
      It's OK to joke sometimes, I just take a bit longer to realize it than most people. I can see where it looks kind of designed for a urinal! Perhaps nicer to display as a incense burner, lol.
