A small, round, brown oriental jar with lid.that measures about 3.5 inches tall, 4 inches across the bottom and weighs 1 pound 10 ounces.
From what I can tell from listings across the internet, these were from the late 19th century. They have apparently sold for many thousands of dollars.
The value of antiques is largely dependent on condition. I see very little damage to this one. Only the chip on the top edge of the open jar. You can see it in my second picture.
According to the Google translator, the more rectangular box says:
"The third year of Xianfeng period in Qing Dynasty"
And the more square one reads:
"Xu Jun, Xiaodechang Denai, Zhongzangzhi, Zhijiangjia", or, translated further,
"Xu Jun, ξ AO's Chang den love, z Hong Zangzhi, Z Hi price reduction"
Google is unable to translate the mark on the bottom of the lid (5th picture).
I don't know how I got Google to read it some time ago when I first attempted to translate this. I tried again just now and it will not translate it at all.
I am not knowledgeable in this arena. I see them listed with titles like the following:
Chinese pottery Xishuai Guan (jar for fighting crickets), circa 1850-1861
YIXING WARE TEA CANISTER
Antique Zisha- Yixing- I -Hsing container with cover
Antique Chinese Zisha Yixing I Hsing Pottery Food Box
FINE ZISHA/CLAY YIXING POTTERY TEA/SPICE CADDY/JAR WITH LID
A stoneware Yixing tea-box with inscriptions , China, Qing Dynasty, 19th century
Within this listing I indicated that it was made 1900-1910. That is the oldest choice that was offered. But, as explained in this part of my listing, I believe it was made earlier.
