Chinese ceramic cooking pot. Handle and breathing tube. Characters on end of handle. Chinese Dark Brown/Black glazed handled cooking pot. 142 mm. 20th century
Good. No lid. Two cracks through the base. These do come up the side a bit and join a hairline or two going horizontally around lower body. These can be seen internally as well. Shiny glaze. Not sure on age, these effectively have been made in the same manner for probably up near 200 years or more, it can be difficult to date them for that reason. With the shiny glaze, I am thinking this is a later example from somewhere on the 1900s. Grade: 6 Estimate: $20 - 40
