    Description

    Description:
    For sale is an unusual vase that appears to be Chinese.
    Bought at auction from a collector of Japanese and Chinese pieces; however, I have no history regarding age.
    If interested, please do you own research as I have been unable to find anything at all similar.
    The piece is done with a white clay. I can see by looking at the inside that it was done using the coil method.
    The outside is decorated with what I believe is modern Chinese calligraphy done with a high-gloss black glaze on the mottled area that resembles a honeycomb.
    The higher and smooth areas appear to have incised old Chinese characters.
    The urn-shaped vase is 14” tall, 3-1/8” opening, 4-1/4” base and about 7-1/2” at the widest.
    Weighs about 8.5 pounds.
    There are no marks on the bottom....just some felt dots.
    At the time of listing, I have two pieces to make up a pair. They are slightly different.
    Due to the heavy weight and size of each, they really cannot be shipped safely together so I will list them separately.
    If interested in both, please let me know.  I may be able to work with UPS to ensure they can ship together.
    Condition
    :
    No losses observed.
    There are variations in the glaze, but it appears to be original.
    Please review the pictures closely as they are part of the description.
    I apologize ahead of time for the cost of shipping. I only ship USPS Priority insured.
    Payment is thru PayPal only. International shipping is thru the Ebay global shipping program only.
