Long Description
Antique Chinese porcelain piece. I'm not sure of the original origin as it says Shanghai New York, but my grandmother was known to travel the country a lot. I know it's from at least the 1900s but may be even older.
For Sale?
Yes
THIS IS FOR SALE even though it doesnt say it is..or many years…
I've wondered for many years what this was worth but I never went through with it. Hope to hear something back soon, &thank you!
I believe this to actually…
I believe this to actually be a Chinese "ginger jar". These porcelain jars were used to store herbs. It was called a "guan" or jar. I don't know exact year, but it's possible that it's from the 40's since Shanghai was a commerce hub during that period of time. I don't know it's value, but I've seen very ornate collectible pieces sell from $40 to around $1,000 depending on rarity.
