This is an exquisite handpainted small lidded pot in blue and white from OKA, made in homage to the Yuan Dynasty. This pot features a propitious 4-clawed dragon chasing clouds. It also has a yin yang symbol. A very rare OKA piece from its early years (most likely early 2000's), beautifully made and highly collectable. Please do take a look at OKA's website.
This pot is in excellent vintage
condition, with no defects, chips, cracks. Minor marks on
silver, commensurate with age. Only ever used for display. A matching teapot is listed separately. I am happy to accept reasonable offers.
The main body of the pot is a beautiful crackle glaze porcelain, with a blue underglaze. Handpainted. The lid rim and knob handle, pot rim with braided silver trim, base, are all of sterling 925 silver. It is stamped 'Sterling 925' at the base. Wash with gentle liquid soap, dry. The silver will need polishing from time to time.
Approx. dimensions: Height of pot - 4.2" or 11cm tall
Width - 3.55" or 9cm

A very reluctant sale but hubby and I are downsizing and we must relinquish some much-loved pieces. No space, the constant dilemma...this needs to be passed to another custodian who will love and use it. Designed to be both decorative and functional. Perfect for containing sugar or confectionery.
