[edit] Summary

Description	This is an Imari porcelain jar 63 inches tall, 25 inches in diameter; it was exhibited in the World's Columbian Exposition and Pan-American Exposition. It was donated to the Pollard Memorial Library in Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1909 and is currently held there. The library claims it to be the largest porcelain specimen produced in Japan in perfect order and that it was produced "by KANZO, the best artist of his time in Japan."

[edit] Licensing:

As for the photo:

I, the copyright holder of this work, hereby release it into the public domain. This applies worldwide.

In case this is not legally possible,

I grant any entity the right to use this work for any purpose, without any conditions, unless such conditions are required by law.

I would like credit where used, but my tolerance for legalese for stuff like this doesn't extend to using a CC license. Just be nice.

As for the jar in the photo:

This image is in the public domain in the United States. In most cases, this means that it was first published prior to January 1, 1923 (see the template documentation for more cases). Other jurisdictions may have other rules, and this image might not be in the public domain outside the United States. See Wikipedia:Public domain and Wikipedia:Copyrights for more details.

It could be free world-round, but I don't know exactly how old it is, or who Kanzo is.
