hello all , i would to know more about these old brown teapot with cracked glaze . Is it very old ? Thanks .
more pictures ...
I do not know what this is, or if it is Chinese. There is a similar pot, though, which has no handle and spout. On top it has a channel around the mouth for filling with water. Does this one have one?
From the look of it this is only vintage.
I don't understand peterp : " On top it has a channel around the mouth for filling with water. Does this one have one? "
there is a picture of the top ... I think it's old because of cracked glaze , the foot rim and chinese because of beak shape , no ?
No, there is no channel. I do not know this. The crackles can develop for several reasons and are not very reliable for dating. The ware looks like something the common folks use in the kitchen, but I do not know this shape. If it was Chinese, my guess is a few decades at the most. This is the sort of item that may still have been in use until more recently, especially in the country side.
ok thanks peterp
