My name is Phillup Brinkman
I can not post pictures here, so if you would have to send me a link to my gmail that I can past photos to send you of the vase.
Is my vase of Chinese manufacture, or Persian, or Syrian, for example? I want to know the place of manufacture, and the date of manufacture? I do not want a value, just knowledge.
I have a large vase with two dragon head handles on each side, grabbing the lip of the jar like the classic Tang Dynasty example’s, and black decoration under a rich turquoise blue glaze. It has a beautiful crazing, or crackle under the glaze., and is a large 14” inches tall. The vase was lamped in the 1920’s, so it is not of new manufacture. It resembles to me like some wares from Ayyubid Syria.
I thought only the Chinese made this type of stoneware vase, copying the early Islamic Persian metal vases in the Cizhou ware style. However, I have not found a similar example any ware with this glaze, and black decoration.
The color resembles early Persian, or Chinese wares with the turquoise glaze.
It makes me wonder if any found in China where ever actually ever made in China.
Thank you for your help!
