Digging up the vege patch and found this vase? buried in the ground, the pictures on it seem to have a story about some wise old men discussing some sort of scrolls, it hasn't got any identification anywhere on it?, i have tried google but couldn't find anything there..
Any-one know anything about this sort of stuff or where i could find some info?
Thanks in advance.

Doesn't look expensive to me - it would have a hallmark.
But WTF do i know?

I reckon someone has buried their relatives or animals ashes in the urn in the garden.

i don't want to sell it, and it's broken anyway, just like to know some history of it, i don't think it's fake...and did people really bury their loved ones in a urn in the backyard?

Perhaps Chinese traders came down the west coast of Australia and traded the vase for something of value from the Aborigines? The Aborigines buried it where your backyard is today. Very excellent find.

I'm surprised you can grow those vegies in the sandy Perth soil.

Maybe it's an "Out of Place Artefact"?

And a lot of work went into getting the soil right
