Dear Martha,

Thank you for your reply. Please see attached the two bases of the jars.

The wording that appear on a strip of typed paper for the auction held in 1981 said the following;
”Chinese Jars. 1892.” .

But Chinese friends say that Japanese writing (as previously shown) and the jar patterns are Japanese.

So there is confusion here !

As an expert, what do you think ?

Does anyone else have any views on this ?

Any direction as to where these beautiful jars originated from would be much appreciated.

Kind regards,
Martin
