Vietnamese Nguyen Dynasty Speckle Glazed Ceramic Meiping Wine Jug (From a Vietnamese Royal Family) - This ceramic wine jug is of typical Meiping form with a narrow mouth, a small neck resting on high, broad shoulders and a tall body tapering off to a shallow ring foot. The jug is decorated with a cream and brown speckle glaze and high relief grape form handles. This piece comes from the estate of a Vietnamese Royal Family (the family now lives in the United States, and wishes to remain private as they still have relatives living in Vietnam). This piece has excellent investment potential, as it is thought by experts around the world and avid collectors that due to the rapid modernization of Vietnam, Vietnamese antiques will within the next ten years be more valuable than Chinese antiques. Measurements: 14"H x 7"W.
