This jar was purchased at an estate auction. I have no idea what the markings on the bottom mean, I have tried researching them but can't find any exactly like it. Is it Japanese or Chinese? The glaze is completely crazed/crackled, not sure if that is damage or was produced that way on purpose. :)
This is a beautiful table. We also have a matching end table. The back of the marble has an insegnia of DMC made in Italy. The wood has a metal plate that says 100% solid mahogany, then describes where you get mahogany, then it is marked #413, and under that is says Mahogany Association Inc. I know that it has been in the family for over 50 years for sure.
Picture of my stepdad in his military academy uniform 1923 to 1926. He was a student at a miliary academy in Chicago during the 1920s. I can't tell if it is a painting or a photo afixed to the milkglass piece. As I took it apart some of the paint or ink flaked off on the bottom right. It is framed in a gold colr frame which is marked 926 on the loop. Thank you.
