Fangge jar
by: peter

Hello,
This seems to be a ginger jar made in the Fangge style. They usually have these same colors and always have crackling. I can see crackling on the bottom, in the pictures. However, it is impossible to see clearly if there is crackling at the sides. There should be, because Fangge wares were made specifically with crackles. The dark brown mark and decoration seem to be right for this. If it also has crackles at the sides, then it is likely from the late Qing dynasty (1644-1911).

Mostly Fangge wares don't have this type of intricate brown decoration, though. Can you upload a closeup image of the side?
