About the Item

An old circular Chinese food pot, traditionally crafted and richly decorated, featuring a rounded, lidded form designed for the storage or serving of food. The vessel is finished in a dominant red palette, often achieved through enamel or lacquer decoration, symbolizing good fortune and prosperity in Chinese culture. The exterior is adorned with hand-painted decorative figural scences arranged in balanced bands around the body. The decoration is accented with contrasting tones such as black and gold, enhancing the depth and vibrancy of the design. The circular form gives the pot a harmonious, balanced presence, while signs of age—such as light surface wear, softening of colors, or minor imperfections—contribute to its character and authenticity. Both decorative and functional, the piece reflects traditional Chinese craftsmanship, serving as a charming example of historic domestic ware.
