I Have this Large Sancai Ewer/Vessel

Ideally i would love to know a little more about it.

ie possible Age? its use i assumed Water / Wine?
or anything else interesting about it.

thanks in advance
Steve

Attractive looking but I think this is a modern fantasy piece, for decoration rather than use.

thanks for the reply, by Modern do you suspect late 20th century or is it a late Qing Copy?

also do you recognise the shape at all? i cannot find any similar Chinese ewers with this double spout and circular top handle.

kind regards Steven

By definition if it is a copy of something there must be a similar form it is imitating, but although the round upper body recalls some Tang vessels, the overall shape and large loop at the top have no precedent that I know of, certainly not in a sancai glaze. That and the appearance of the glaze itself suggest to me this is an invented decorative piece made within the last few decades.
