Stone ceramic

[Kenny Kumala]

Hi, antiques Friends & Peter

I bought this ceramics about 15 years ago, and never found a compatible one after surfed in the internet, the ceramic is very2 hard. I'm sure it's not a fake. Who knows, somebody can give me an answer.

Thanks,
Kenny

Hi Kenny,
Stoneware? Definitely looks old. There is a type of Chinese porcelain jars which has this shape, but they come usually in white and blue. And the applique ornaments do not look Chinese. If that should be a phoenix there, it misses some essentail traits of the Chinese phoenix.  In my view this is more likely from SE Asia. Did you try to find it among shipwreck items?
