Red lotus temple jar

[ssbill]

I saw this online selling as floral ginger jar. Looks like red lotus temple jars to me. It is hand painted and show some age signs (see third pictures). I have asked to seller for photos of the bottom. Thanks

get a picture of the inside lid also, usually that is a dead giveaway from old to new.

And also one of the bottom, please. This should never be missed.

BTW, this is called 'coral red' in Chinese, and it is neither a temple jar nor a ginger jar. Ginger jars have a neck.

I can't upload a new picture. It says the website can't handle the request. The size is 193kb Any idea why?

[peterp]

Maximal attachment size per attachment is 200 kB, or 400 kB per post. I would try again, but first reduce file size a little. The size calculation of server and actual file size may differ somewhat.

It worked. I had to downsize and reshape. I don't have a picture of the bottom of the lid yet. The qianlong mark does not look right... Is it stamped?

[peterp]

This foot rim and the type of spurious Qianlong mark point to an item of the second half of the 20th century, in my opinion.
