Chilli Container. (James A. Lerk Collection) Chinese Chilli Container. Chinese Characters to Base. 69 mm across. 1860s
Very Good. Two characters to the base are a little indistinct, but look to be Chinese characters. Some smoke stain around the edges - must have been a hot chilli! Some small discoloured flakes around the rim. A bit of glaze wear. Some crazing. Not sure on age, but this is possibly a lot earlier than suggested! This is part of the James A. Lerk collection. Grade: 7 Estimate: $40 - 50
