Subject:What is this? "Chinese wine pot"??
Posted By: Brandon mccloskey Mon, Jan 08, 2018 IP: 173.191.104.106 Hello all, I have this object and I am unsure of what it is. I found two references online to a similar object that claimed it to be a "Chinese wine/tea pot". The people didn't seem to know a whole lot of what the were talking about though (the one just copied the description the other had). I am having a hard time seeing this as a wine pot and was hoping someone on here would know. |

Posted By: Bill H Tue, Jan 09, 2018 Probably Chinese, and no reason to believe it couldn't be used for serving wine. Chinese varieties of sorghum-distilled "baijiu", including Maotai and Gaoliang, are usually served warm or at room temperature. Pots like this are used to keep the contents of the pourer warm, so would accommodate such wines as well as tea if need be. |

Posted By: Brandon mccloskey Thu, Jan 11, 2018 Beadiste, I was originally referring to ROC but after seeing the similarities it shared with the pieces you posted I think it may be more likely PRC instead. Thank you. |

Posted By: Brandon Mccloskey Wed, Jan 10, 2018 Thank you Bill. The base of the interior container is not soldered together, there are gaps where the wine or tea would mix with the hot water, would that make a difference in you assessment or would that just be a mistake on this particular piece/shoddy construction? |

Posted By: Bill H Sat, Jan 13, 2018 Thanks, you're right, and the cheese tastes even better if you're born in the Year of the Rat. The "tree shrew" (a.k.a. first cousin to a squirrel) has a better diet of grapes and looks like a rat with tail that's having a bad hair day. But, the rat does alright on a diet of grain too, and that's where the claim "It tastes like chicken" comes from. However, these tree shrews tend to get their pictures painted on food-serving platters more often than the rats. Lucky too, if you need an icon of having a big family. |
