This very rare pottery vessel was made over 2,000 years ago during the Warring States period (475 - 221 BC). It is an elongated ewer in the form of a tiger. Much of the original red and white surface pigments remain.

As with many of our finer items, we have had this vessel tested by Oxford Authentications, the only testers of ancient pottery accepted by all major dealers, auction houses and museums worldwide, and the Thermoluminescence Analysis Report that will accompany this item is shown with our pictures below; this confirms the date of manufacture as "between 1,600 and 2,600 years ago".

Length 27 cm (10.5 inches). We can see no sign of restoration or repair; fine condition.
