Antique or Vintage Japanese or Chinese Pottery ? Dragon Vase Looks like Cinnabar

Description

As you can see from my title, I'm not sure what this piece is! It came from an estate with a lot of vintage Asian collectibles. I thought it was cinnabar when I bought it, but then looking at the chips on top I'm thinking it's actually a pottery that is supposed to have a cinnabar look to it, with some black paint for background/highlights? Again. I don't know so please view the photos and use your own expert judgment. It is not signed. 6" tall. Chips on the top rim, as shown plus other wear from handling/consistent with age/use.
I have several pieces and/or lots of Japanese & Chinese pottery listed this week so please take a look at my other auctions, too ~
I will gladly combine multiple purchases for a lower shipping cost. Please wait for an invoice from me before paying if you buy more than one item.
Payment is due within 3 days of purchase.
