Very Small & thought to be Very Early Chinese Sancai Glaze Pot, thought to be Tang Dynasty, though not definite.It's about cm's tall, cm's diameter, with bulbous shape with horizontal ridged texture, an incised line around the shoulder, and small lipped neck.The base is unglazed and mildly indented.The pot is colored in green and yellow thin glazed finish, with small areas without glazing, as well as number of very small unglazed scabs, probably to do with firing, as is the fine corkscrew splits in the base.The condition is otherwise perfect and hopefully the photo's show this.These antique Oriental items am selling on behalf onan old Chinese gentleman who has been collecting them for most of his adultlife, and only now, in his 90’s does he wish for them to start going to goodhomes.As to the authenticity of these items;Before retiring he worked within the government as acollector and assessor of all antiques they gathered during the times of warand unrest, and as such, gathered great amount of knowledge.These antiques he gathered himself, privately, duringthe course of his later life, from all over the world, and as such, the itemsobviously held some interest & value to him.Sadly, he is not with us to assist in selling, asbased overseas, as well as not speaking English, and so we are attempting toacquire any information through research on each item, that may or may not becompletely correct, but will point possible clients in the right direction.I hope this helps in giving some background.All Items listed for sale or auction can be viewed before-hand& collectedin our shop based in St Albans, Hertfordshire.The shop is ;The Vintage Emporium/The St Albans Vintage Emporium,221 Hatfield Road,Fleetville,St Albans,Hertfordshire,AL1 4TB      Tel. 01727 760095.We are open days week, have lovely café and massivevariety of vintage and retro Item’s on sale, from clothes& furniture, trinkets & kitchenalia, to jewellery & art.Do come and visit us, parking at the back, and have look round.
