Product Details
This object is an antique Chinese porcelain water opium pipe pot, sometimes categorized as a smoking pot or burner.
Key Characteristics & Details
- Origin & Era: These pots are typical of the late Qing Dynasty (19th century to early 20th century). Many were produced as export wares for regional Southeast Asian markets, such as Vietnam (often associated with the "Bleu de Hue" style).
- Material: It is made of crackleware porcelain (characterized by the intentional, fine web of cracks in the glaze) and decorated with hand-painted underglaze cobalt blue designs.
- Metal Framing: The piece is enclosed in a protective bronze or brass wire armature that connects to a wrapped metal carrying handle.
- Function: It originally acted as the water reservoir/base for smoking. It features a central top opening for a removable burner or lid and a small secondary side spout where a long drawing stem/pipe would be attached.
