I will tell you everything I know about this. We have had it a long, long time and I am told that it was purchased in France. I think that it is Japanese. I know that it has a tremendous amount of moriage slip design in almost every Japanese motif: Kumo(clouds), Seikainmi(waves), Rai( lightening), and on and on. I believe it was made before 1891 and after 1850. I don't know what the paintings depict. The front has five Japanese ladies. The back has two men. The neck is reticulated and the handles are griffins. I see no mark or signature on this. It is very thick pottery, but the paintings are not rough. It stands 37 1/2 inches tall and is 20 inches wide at the widest point. The colors are spectacular, as is the workmanship. There is a small chip at the base ( really it is a loss of the moriage slip, please see close up picture) , actually, it is in excellent condition. Serious offers considered.
