Chinese porcelain, tea pot
21 February 2023
Description

It is absolutely beautiful to look at . No lid , and a small chip from the bottom that looks tho have happened long ago. During heating maybe? 1 small imperfection by spout but learned some porcelain craftsman would leave these intentionally? Looks as if some how paint was applied before glazing process and made the colors transparent .like color glass ,in all of the foliage. And hand traced everything in the best looking gold paint, I have ever seen. But all gold was applied after glazing? The craftsmanship in this pot is absolutely amazing. 7 holes inside but they look as if pushed through from the outside in but are not exactly perfect although shaped like a flower. On the inside an unglazed spot left just under where the lid would sit.

Dimensions

All measurements are Approximate .5.5"x 15" around and 5" deep 3" spout 2 1/4 opening

Provenance

I bought from a garage sale from a military man who had passed he was right at 100 years old. His family said he collected everything from around the world. . Returned to where I bought it to aquire information about it. They said he was in a lot of wars and sent things back in the mail. They couldn't tell me much more.
