Dear Kevin,

     But again, you are comparing 'apples and oranges'. Those are all porcelain with the concentric circle base that Charll loves (and rightly so).
 
     Your piece is not porcelain, and does not have concentric circles. So you CAN'T put it anywhere in that group, because it is not part of that group.
     
     Yixing was a provincial pottery producer, while Jingdezhen was the central producer of fine porcelain. Just as coppersmiths were not compared to goldsmiths, even though they both worked in metal, there was quite a gap between workers in porcelain and those in pottery. At least this is how it was explained to me.

    Please show me other examples of antique, clear-glazed slip=decorated Yixing pottery.

   Best,
Joey




Dear Joey,
 
 Many thanks for the post- how wonderful to have a vast resource on Chinese arts, and i'm sure many great bottles to hold, just steps away Smiley

 The concept of applied enamels to the grapes in design is what I wanted to show by the example, rather than "squirrel and grapevine" patterns 

 the way the foot and foot rim were made and w/ a deep recess at the center of the foot may help w/the question of age. In the post given below, the bottle would fit left of center in the 100yr continuum

Best,
