'Extremely Rare' Imperial Chinese Porcelain Pot | Antiques Roadshow

[@charlotteritchie3338]

To the first commenter here, I want to say that for an auto-didactic student of Chinese and other Asian Art, I am most grateful to the presenter here for his attention to the fine details of this amazing piece of Imperial Art. For example, I had no idea that the endless knot represents the Buddha's entrails. I am fascinated by Imperial Chinese culture, and I learn through all kinds of means - audio, visual, and the written word. So thank you to the Antiques Roadshow!

The king of finds we all hope for at valuation everts!

[@frankkrupinski1764]

I would like to see it repaired

[@WoodlandDance]

That pot could do with a visit to Kirsten Ramsay at The Repair Shop! The owner seems low-keyed upon learning the pot was a piece of Imperial Chinese porcelain.

it's missing pieces they'd have to add on some clay and refire it

[@kublaiken5689]

@0.53 on the neck up there is the peony flower design instead of the lotus, @1:10 is the Auspicious knot, is an ancient traditional hand-woven craft. Itrepresents auspiciousness, wealth and peace, and nothing close to entrails of Buddha as explained by the commentator. Cloth knots have been used as buttons in Chinese traditional clothing since antiquity.

Is that repairable to the point where it's hard to tell that it was ever broken? I know they have come a long way with many things to repair these pieces, but I don't know I am not a specialist in pottery

[@J.G.H.]

I mean a curator or someone specialized would be able to tell most likely but you could have it restored to where to the untrained eye you'd never know it had been broken.

"it's called a Ho" cue to her face at 0:40

[@dsadik666]

Nice

[@CannibaLouiST]

Kin-lung. I like this pronunciation.

[@jianhuang0124]

1:35 no it has nothing to do with marital harmony. Fish pronouces as MORE in Chinese Ao fish fish means more and more just a good wish for prosperity.

[@heatherunicorn-sparkles1724]

The fish has nothing to do with martial harmony?

[@jianhuang0124]

No, has nothing to do with it at all. Otherwise, those wouldn't be twin fishes, instead should be very clearly marked as male and female.

[@charlenegirouard901]

Does it have a lid

[@scottloar]

It never had a lid.

[@Carlentines1880]

[@specialized29er86]

Good price for something sitting at home collecting dust.

[@Landen79Foff-wc5ej]

[@robertheinrichvonseyfenste267]

[@bingbong7316]

Featherstonehaugh, pronounced Fanshaw.

[@w.urlitzer1869]

to uncultured people everything unusual seems "kind 'a stupid"...

[@jules263]

We took everything from China 😂 Even this silly trinket

[@brianpeck4035]

Except for everything they destroyed during their "Cultural Revolution".

[@millsrickman7703]

There it is,the dumbest thing I've read today

[@dheensay]

Another stolen artifact I'm guessing!

[@Ubique2927]

Stolen? From where?

[@timhazeltine3256]

A flimsy guess at best

[@khoi5591]

If real probably when the brits ransacked The Old Summer Palace . Foot, cobalt work, and damage look convincing@@Ubique2927

[@joevasquez3434]

Look here buddy, we don't need the two-hour documentary on the damn thing. just tell us the resale price !!!

[@lisathomas1622]

I like the description, that’s what helps him date it and evaluate the value.

[@_Opal_Miner_]

Well done for managing to get through the whole 3 mins and12 seconds. We're all really proud of you. Good boy.

[@juliaclarke2978]

If you only want to know a value , and not be educated about why, then this is the wrong programme for you

[@joevasquez3434]

I know I was surprised myself. thanks. @@_Opal_Miner_

[@maryshanley329]

@@juliaclarke2978I am very glad that you uttered that remark. He is close to being an iconoclast!
