I think that this is a Sung Dynasty piece, although not sure. I have a fb friend who is a real expert and he gives me pretty frank feedback. I'll let you all know what he says when i hear from him. If it is right, it's probably the prettiest of my collection of Pre-Ming pieces. It is a tiny bit over 5 inches tall.
i've been getting very good feedback on this piece on the early Chinese ceramics fb page. there are some very knowledgeable participants on that page. so far, people think it may be a funerary object from the Song dynasty. I found some very similar ones which are Han. maybe Ding ware? for sure it is early Chinese white ware of some kind.

renedijkstra - i don't know what you are talking about. Alot of early chinese white ware have very even glaze. what do you mean by 'firing points'?
He's a ceramics scholar in Hong Kong somewhere - maybe Kowloon. why is that a problem?
that's true. i think it needs to be evaluated by someone in person for anything realistic.
