These seem common in the blossom pattern.

What features reveal the age?

You can't just look at the bottom and expect to know the age, you need to show the whole vase, design, is the top unglazed, is there any rust spots, what does the inside look like, all these are needed to tell age.

Please be specific what you are hinting at with "these".
Stan is right, we have to look at the whole item for dating, even if the bottom may be the most revealing one.

Sorry I got delivery failed messages and did not know any posted.

I'll need to retake the photos.

Dry top rim.

Qst42know · Sep 30, 2015, 08:38:52

Cylindrical lid.

Qst42know · Sep 30, 2015, 08:41:15

Branches down.

Qst42know · Sep 30, 2015, 08:42:21

And branches up.

Qst42know · Sep 30, 2015, 08:44:36

Inside lid.

Qst42know · Sep 30, 2015, 08:48:01

It is 9" tall without the lid.

Nice Jar, its good you have the original lid, that makes it twice as valuable as the ones without the lid and with the unglazed top I believe it would be late 18th to early 19th century.

Do you realize that many of the petals look exactly the same, as if the same pattern was transferred again and again?

It is eaiser to find a skilled painter than a freehand artist.

Qst42know · Sep 30, 2015, 09:51:24

Even to the lid.

Good eye the blossoms repeat. The measurements match one to the next.
