Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:18476466 | Region of Origin: China |
| Original/Reproduction: Antique Original | Age: Pre-1800 |
About 18 to 20 years ago I was able to buy some genuine archaic pottery from China. I am listing only what I truly believe to be ancient pottery here, if I had doubts I would say so. However, I cannot certifiably guarantee this piece as thermoluminescence testing for a single test is about $500. I have however sold many pieces over the years and have only a few left which I will be listing over the course of a month or so. I have not had any bad reviews and one neolithic Chinese pot th...at I shipped to China was verified by the buyer to be around 5, 000 years old and authentic.
Because I really need the space and frankly at my age I just need to let it go, I am listing these things for you to consider at your own level of comfort. And obviously I am listing them with very low prices, frequently below my cost.This pottery vessel was described as a Han Dynasty Tripod Stove, 206 BC - 220 AD. I actually think they intended it as a censer and stove was the translation. Bowl is a bit over 10 inches across. The bowl is about 4-1/2 inches tall and with the ear it is 5-1/2 inches tall, but I believe that the tripod feet were longer and they were shortened a bit because of damage. One ear is missing and the other may have been repaired. Other than that and the fore shortened feet, condition is quite good with minor nicks and much encrustation from burial which is always good to see on ancient pottery. It is otherwise very solid ... and heavy.
