B/W jars

Hi Ping,
The left one is a wedding jar, usually attributed to the Qing dynasty, Jiaqing and Daoguang reigns.

The mark says Made by Huarong-Tang. Huarong-Tang marked porcelain was made since the late Qing dynasty into the 20th century. The possible age of this one would have to be decided from the actual item. Most marks seem to have been in red.
