Early 19th C Chinese Porcelain Seal Paste Box with Iron Red Seal Marks

Description

Title:Early 19th C Chinese Porcelain Seal Paste Box with Iron Red Seal Marks

Size:2 1/2 in (6.4 cm) diameter x 1 1/8 in (2.9 cm) tall.

Description:The Chinese paste box features iron-red decorations on a white ground, including traditional Chinese characters or seal marks. It dates from the early 19th Century.

Very thinly potted. Probably older than most of the other items. The foot rim is very fine.

Has a paper stick from when it was purchased in China in either the early 1980s or early 1990s when my client had tours there with the State Department.

MEASUREMENTS
2 1/2 in (6.4 cm) diameter x 1 1/8 in (2.9 cm) tall. Weighs 3.4 oz.

CONDITION
There is a chip along the rim of the body and 4 chips under the lip of the lid. Only one of these is noticeable when the lid is on, and even that is not very noticeable. The body has one hairline in the glaze near the waist. This hairline does not go all the way through and is not visible on the inside. The lid, base and foot all have residue from the paste. The box has common manufacturing errors, such as black spots, bumps and pits.
