Description

A fantastic big antique Chinese Ming dynasty blue monochrome ceramic vase or jar.

This large and beautiful antique Chinese Ming dynasty ceramic jar was probably originally a tea or apothecary container and now makes a fabulous looking vase, the jar with a wonderful elongated urn-type form with six curving sides, stepped foot, glazed inside and lovely lion and ring mask handles all covered in a stunning cobalt blue monochrome glaze which shines like a sapphire when it hits the light!

The jar measures approximately 10 1/2 (26.7cm) inches high and about 9 (22.9cm) inches across.

The jar is in general good condition, displays beautifully and has all over wear with no cracks, hairlines or repairs. There is some chipping and glaze losses around the rim, neck and base as well as plenty of glaze wear. Please check all the pictures.

Terms of Sale

TERMS OF SALE & RETURNS

We make great efforts to honestly and accurately describe each item we list. We back this up with many photographs, all with a close-up zoom option for detailed inspection. Due to the majority of our items being antique/vintage and often unique it can be difficult to determine age and as such all our items are sold 'as is'. However, if we are not certain about the age of an item we will either not mention an age or say the item is being sold as a later or modern piece and then leave it up to more experienced buyers to determine the exact age. Items are not returnable if it was not of the age/value you were hoping it to be with no exceptions. If we place a date on an item we guarantee it to be of that period or earlier. If you require further pictures or more information about an item, please let us know prior to bidding or purchase. Items cannot be returned for any condition issues either shown in the pictures or mentioned in the listing. As many items we sell are one hundred years or older we will not accept returns for wear consistent with the item's age. Any item mentioned as sold 'as is' in the listing will not be eligible for any form of return or refund. If it is determined an item is eligible for a return, the item must be shipped back within 48 hours, insured and tracked. A restocking fee may apply. We are very easy to work with and welcome any and many questions during our listings, so please let us know if you have one! Thanks again for looking!
