An unusual flask indeed, realistically crafted as a gourd complete with indentations and suggestions of texture. The pottery body appears to be buff as can be seen where there is some flaking of the glaze on the mouth-rim. The glaze is deep green, very dark where thicker, and has a slightly matt sheen. There are a number of ‘kiln kisses’ either where the piece was supported in the firing or where other items have touched in the kiln. The Han dynasty was from 200BCE ~ 200CE.

Approximately 12.3/8 inches (31.4 cm) long. Excellent condition with only some flaking to the glaze on the mouth-rim.

I am based in the United Kingdom so charges made to credit cards are in GBP ( British Pounds ) and your credit card issuer automatically converts the charge to the currency of your country. Payment may also be made by direct bank transfer in GBP. I am sorry but I cannot accept a cash transfer payment by Western Union as I don’t have an office nearby.
