Cup with saucer and lid |
Posted By: Chris Posted Date: Jan 03, 2013 (04:06 PM) |
Message I recently purchased this cup while in Nepal. I bought from a Tibetan lady living outside Pokhara in one of the refugee settlements. It was rust brown colored and I washed it up just thinking it was an old butter tea cup. It came out to be this great celadon piece that has what looks to be a Xuande marking on the bottom. It has some irregularities in its shape and has been well used. The lady said it was her mother's cup and wanted to know why I would want it... I liked it! Any help would be much appreciated. I don't have any delusions on this being 15th century, just some insight would be awesome. thanks, Chris Link : images Post a Response |
