Pottery mark query blue circles and Oriental Writing in Red:- Hi Ive been give these ginger pots ( I think ) which I really love and would like to know a little more about them, I dont think they are of any value. One has some fighting Japanese men on and the other has blue circles on the bottom.The third is slightly larger with no markings on.
A good friend of mine gave them to me as he was having a clear out and was going to throw them away.
They all look hand painted but Im no expert.
Ive photographed as best I can, the lines which look like cracks are reflections from strip lighting above.
If anyone could tell me anything I would be really pleased to hear from them.

Many Thanks

Philip

Hi Philip

You did very well to save these from the garbage. I have pots like this going through the valuation service all the time and they vary in price, but all of them are always worth more than the valuation fee, and one was worth a staggering $1200 USD. I am not saying your are worth anything, as I simply don't know, but they are not to be chucked.

Knowledgeable contributors please try to help with this one (check out the comments section below for replies).
