A "Junyao" pottery tripod with handles, Ming dynasty

The vessel, similar in shape to a 'Ding', has the form of a cauldron on three long feet, decorated with serrated reliefs at the beginning of each, and two handles on the curled rim. The glaze is red and iridescent garnet, which stops before reaching the feet, and is lighter on the protruding parts. When it is lighter, it takes on a yellowish tint and gives a glimpse of the brown pottery. Around the body there are small bubbles and stains. The piece is in excellent condition. 

Height: 23 cm; overall diameter: 15.70 cm

Provenance: Private European collection.
