Title: Odd little round Celadon vase with strange marks
Post by: mikelv85 on Feb 28, 2014, 21:43:39
Picked this up yesterday. A bit curious about all the marks on it. I don't think it's particularly old but still interesting. It's 6"H x 5" in diameter. -Mike-

This is not a collectible. This is a Shaoxing container, that Shaoxing is an alcoholic beverage. This is a present day item.

Thanks Peter, I found out from a friend just a bit ago that's it's a "Nu Er Hong"  or "Red Daughter" rice wine container. Used at Chinese weddings as a gift for guests because of the decorative container. -Mike-
