Vintage Chinese Blue and White Porcelain Saki Set Pieces
This lot consists of two small porcelain vessels, likely intended for serving and consuming sake or tea. The set includes a small round shallow bowl and a larger, faceted hexagonal vessel with a small tab-like handle or spout. Both pieces are crafted from a light-colored, off-white ceramic clay body with a translucent clear glaze. The hexagonal pieces features hand-painted cobalt blue calligraphic characters on the top surface, likely representing auspicious symbols such as 'Fu' (blessings) and 'Shou' (longevity). The small bowl exhibits simple blue brushwork lines around its exterior perimeter. The craftsmanship appears to be rustic or semi-industrial, typical of utilitarian household wares from the mid-20th century. Condition-wise, both items show significant surface grime and dust, particularly visible in the crevices and on the glazing. There is no immediate evidence of major structural cracks or chips visible from this angle, though the glaze shows some unevenness and minor pitting consistent with age and low-fire production. The items likely date from the 1960s to 1980s and represent functional folk-style ceramics rather than high-art porcelain.
