I have decided to sell some of my... own personal Asian art collection to make space for new additions. Over the coming weeks I'll be auctioning on eBay lots of interesting antiques, which will end each and every Sunday.

DIMENSIONS
Height: - 14 cm (5 4/8 inches)
Width: - 11 cm (4 3/8 inches)Weight: - 235g (0.52 lb / 8.3 oz)
CONDITION:
Original Condition - No Repairs, No Restorations, some general light scuffs and a couple of scratches. The only damage is a single old ding to the top rim. Please see my last 3 photographs which show this same flaw from different angles inside and outside the mouth of the vase in very sharp close-up detail. In reality it is hard to even see this flaw without magnification, the chip is only 4mm wide. - I don't think I have ever seen another tea-dust glaze vase of this period with Chinese script on it. I can not read Mandarin and do not know what this script says... Maybe a poem, a date, a place? I simply do not know (but would love to know if someone would like to inform me). - To confirm there are 16 characters written in cobalt blue glaze which is 'heaped and piled' over the tea-dust glaze, which gives a warm almost red glow around each character. - Very unusual. The exterior of the vase is clean, however the interior has a lot of genuine dirt built up over many lifetimes. - This vase is a genuine antique and NOT a modern copy.
