Hello,

I was looking for some help to identify a  jar, that I've not been able to locate any info or images similar to it.  Is it an urn, ginger jar, or something else?  What was it used for? 

The marking appears to maybe be from the 'Chenghua 1465-1487' period.  So, was wondering if that is correct and if it's a nice reproduction or authentic? 

Appreciate any info you may be able to provide. 

Thanks,
Jeff

These pictures are way to small, the mark is a spurious Chenghua mark but a lot of vase we're made with this type of decoration of worriers on horses, the crackling that I see on the mark and probably on the vase as well was made that way when it was fired, it is probably made in late Qing or early republic, larger pictures could verify this.

The pictures you send should be, close up pictures of the faces of the worriers, horses the bottom foot of the vase the edge foot the top edge of the vase with partial pictures of the inside, these are a must for proper evaluation, Thanks
