ASIAN ROYAL CHAMBER POT?

Profile picture for user jbteach

Description

I've been told that this vase was a chamber pot for the Emperor's Roycl Court, but I have no proof of that.  It sits 30.5 inches high, and there is damage to one of the Dragon heads.  It's glued on.  Besides that it is in fantastic condition.  There is no visable markings

This has been in my family for many, many years.  The story goes, that my Father's Aunt worked as a maid for a very wealthy family.  When the husband died, the wife decided to move back to where she came from and wouldn.t need the maid's services any longer.  The wife gave the maid this vase as a gift.

Wondering what it's value is?
