Cantonese Green Bonsai Pot

Formal description:

Cantonese, straight sided no rim (kiritate), corner cut rectangle body, raised flower motif to front and rear, transparent green glaze, square cut foot.

External size: 41 x 30 x 12cm (16 x 12 x 4¾in)

Internal size: 38 x 26 x 9cm (15 x 11 x 3½in)

Informal information:

A fine old Canton (Guangzhou, China) pot with a rich, clear green glaze. 

Pots from this era are 50-80 years old, made with thick walls and base, and often have a slight wobble, as this one does. Very solid, it just needs a corner propping up a little.

The pot rings clear indicating it is still sound and without structural cracks. A few of the drips have broken off along the years, please check the photos. 

This shape reappears in Japanese pots, in particular the Yamaaki kiln produced refined variations of pots like this.

UK buyers: Please note import costs when comparing with foreign items! These typically comprise: the shipping fee, and, on arrival, you will pay VAT at 20% and possibly import duty and a customs clearance fee. All of these have already been paid on this item.

If you want to make an offer instead of paying the list price, please get in touch. I will not ordinarily consider a discount of more than 10%, and usually less on items priced lower than £100.
