    Small crackle (intentionally and accidently) Chinese double handled pot. Any thoughts on era/purpose/value would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    It is guan ware, with intentional crackling. Most of these guan miniatures were made in the 19th and early 20th century, although guan copies are still made in Jingdezhen.
    Though a lot of miniature censers were made, I don't know if this is a censer. Maybe someone else has an idea.

    I love it, btw.:)

    Without digging into some books and researching the crazing pattern, crazing color and a real macro close up of the glaze these are very difficult to confirm authenticity.

    Wish I could help more but Guan ware is not something I am really good with.
