My grandfather owned an import business. This jar is one of a matching pair that has adorned the mantel a fireplace for two generations. It is now part of an inheritance. It depicts a dragon puppet held high by several servants, an indoor home scene of pregnant mother and several children, a cultivated fish pond and an outdoor dragon boating scene.

We'd to need to see some images of the bottom before we can render an opinion. Pieces like this are still in production, the only way to determine what you have is to see the base of the jar.
