Long Description
I've been told that this vase was a chamber pot for the Emperor's Roycl Court, but I have no proof of that. Â It sits 30.5 inches high, and there is damage to one of the Dragon heads. Â It's glued on. Â Besides that it is in fantastic condition. Â There is no visable markings
This has been in my family for many, many years. Â The story goes, that my Father's Aunt worked as a maid for a very wealthy family. Â When the husband died, the wife decided to move back to where she came from and wouldn.t need the maid's services any longer. Â The wife gave the maid this vase as a gift.
Wondering what it's value is?
