Lot 307 , A Chinese blue and white Hundred Boys vase, Transitional period c. 1640, wood stand and cover

A Chinese blue and white Hundred Boys vase, Transitional period c. 1640, wood stand and cover
Estimate £200-300

The vase is 31.3cm high. It is badly cracked from the top rim to the foot with other large cracks to the rim and shoulder with some occasional splintering around the cracks. We cannot guarantee the vase would stay intact if sent by parcel. The wood stand is missing its dish top and a section of the apron with another area repaired. The wood cover is slightly mis-shapen otherwise in good condition.

Heavily restored, very fragile and held together with tape - condition poor.
