Featured Pottery Basin

This was the dogs water dish, it made a pretty good water dish maybe that’s all it ever was intended for… probably Chinese.

Anyone have any guesses on this small ceramic basin? This came from my grandfather no doubt out of the Auction house, I think this has some age but no distinguishing marks it is simply a pottery basin that could have been made by anyone at any time. It appears based on the ash mark in the glaze it was fired in an older wood fired kiln, there is significant crazing in the light green celadon glaze, the clay body is fairly course.

Some dog dish, that!!

 

an 1800's Haida argillite pole was once found in the English countryside....

it was being used ...as a door stop !

 

That would be a nice surprise this one looks utilitarian and crude in comparison though but nice if it had that kind of age that age, although I’m not at all familiar with the characteristics to look for.

 

Certainly not as elaborate as the others. But, at least, now we know it's a censer and not a dog's water dish!

Perhaps @Ke.Ma can kindly venture a guess ?
Desertau-Have you been collecting Chinese & Tibetan piece for long ?

 

Kind of, but I’m sort of a non discriminating collector, eclectic I guess I can’t really say I collect this or that… my home is the “Art House” some how between my art and antiques it all seems to work. The only word that scares me is “moving.”

 

Those 3 jade and silver teacups are pretty serious knick-knacks.Sounds like you've got a very cool pad.

 

It can be a Ru porcelain. These can be dated to Song dynasty. I'm not familiar to these items.
The foot of this one looks like a incense burner, but the upper part is too flat. Looks kind of weird.

 

Between my wife and I we have more nick necks than we have display space. We moved in 2018 at the beginning of COVID, before things changed, it was a comfortable way too spend the pandemic.

 

Thank you for looking and the opinion, I agree with your assessment.
