Chinese vase
by: peter

This seems to depict a Chinese garlic vase, which is called that way due to the enlargement near the mouth. I have some doubts, however. To me this seems to be later than you think.
First the foot rim, this looks neither Ming nor Qing, but 20th century to me.
Then the shape, it appears both the enlarged mouth and the body itself aren't quite wide enough. Further, the two attachments at the side: as far as I know most Qing dynasty garlic vases don't have any.
