[QUOTE="2fat2slow, post: 147053, member: 1728"]As per post above - some information there. As you asking, and as i am really met a lot of nice people around here, i will tell what i got, i got not that much if be honest, just very basic things. Chinese piece, no doubts about that. If refer to color's - more likely late song to tang dynasty If refer to shape - it goes way more back than dynasty's mentioned above Probably 3 chinese characters on a neck which almost worn of completely - but i believe with good equipment and with a little bit interpretation here - can be determined what kind of characters. Regarding background yellow color - very often since the beginning Chinese pottery history - yellow was used as "imperial" color, i am not stating that it is imperial - i am referring to chinese history. for sure - 4 phoenix heads there, on other side is "endless knot" symbol combined with something else.. Looks like flask been used for alcohol when traveling, because flask very small and round belly, so probably been kept in a pocket or some sort carrying bag when traveling. I like to think that is was used by "female" - i don't know why, but i got that feeling that piece belonged to lady. I do believe, when characters will be confirmed, will be more easier work on symbolism - as i do believe this is a key when unlocking this piece fully, that's why i am here :) Fact - one of it's kind :) So guys, please, if you have anything to say regarding symbolism i would be very grateful![/QUOTE]
