GIANT Chinese stoneware barrel. Three characters stamped inside the base. (Too big to Post, will require pickup or arrangements to be made to collect) (McRae Collection) Chinese Round brown glaze barrel. Indented base. Rim for a lid (but no lid) 420 mm. Mid 1800s
Very Good. There is a 220 mm crack down one side that has been stabilised with glue. This crack can be seen on the inside as well. Under the base are areas that must have been chipped or similar and these are filled with a cement type substance but these can't be seen through on the inside. In fact given the wear on parts of these they might have been filled pretty early on. There are some scratches and wear around otherwise. Great glaze. A super piece in this huge size. Would have taken quite some lifting when full of produce! Grade: 7.8 Estimate: $200 - 250
