Title: Research Exhaustion
Post by: billben on August 31, 2022, 02:29:05 PM
Hi Folks, my first visit since we have been Covid free, I hope members didnt suffer too much
I cant help but feel a bit dissapointed to have to request help, I love researching and have built up quite a library of on & off-line research material so when I reach this stage I always begin to wonder what new reference work I may be missing.

It may be that this is just a modern piece and I am wishfully thinking that it is something worthy of merit but what you cant depict in photos is the quality, and this is one of those that when its in your hands it feels and looks a quality piece.  The range of colours used seems to exceed anythign similar I have seen.

I have tried, not very succesfully to show in one of the photos the thickness of the clear class casing, at the base it must in the region of 2/3mm

Any thoughts or suggestion woudl be appreciated.  Needless to say there is no signature or other markings

The pot (feels like a artists brush pot to me) stands 10.5cm tall
Thanks in antipation

Contemporary Chinese production, various shapes and sizes have been available in the past 10 or so years.

Sorry to hear covid has affected you so badly. But glad to hear it's over for you just now.

Definitely modern Chinese. Similar items also come in yellow-based stripes. The matte-ground base and the irregularity of the stripes are clues

Many thanks as well to you Christine.
I wonder then if its a few years old as I did look on most of the current Chinese sites & could find nothing like it.
Still a nice tactile piece...maybe Ill take up painting to have somewhere for my brushes :)
