Vintage Chinese Ceramic Bottle in the Tang-style (Reproduction)

A hand potted ceramic in the shape of a bottle from the Tang dynasty. It is a reproduction, but the glaze looks old and worn with a fine crackle. A reddish color has filled the crackle giving an antique appearance. There are loop handles on both sides of the neck. The mouth is cup-like and has that reddish clay down the throat. This gives it the look of just being dug up.

 

The base is flat and shows reddish clay. There is a red and white export label with Chinese characters on the base.

 

Although it does not date from the Tang dynasty, it does have some age and probably dates from the late 20th century.

 

 

3 ¾” (9.5 cm) diameter x 6 5/8” (16.8 cm) tall. Weighs 1.0 lb (455 g)

 

 

There are no breaks, chips, cracks, or repairs. The glaze intentionally has an uneven color to give it an ancient appearance.

 

An antique looking Chinese bottle to give a sense of antiquity to a room.
