Posted By: Maurice Tue, Apr 29, 2008 IP: 86.143.13.113 Is this Chinese and from the SONG Dynasty? It has a spout near the top and a hole in the base I suppose liquid was put in the hole and then plugged The pot is just over eleven inches in height I would be glad of any information on the period and use. Many thanks. |
