The top and bottom show typical signs where it was broken off the kiln supports. Measures 6 1/2" diameter (at the flat top) x 4 3/4" high. 19th century. Very good overall condition. Sits at a slight slant. From the estate of Gerhard Lohmeier, a Diplomat at the German Embassy in Beijing from 1985 to 1989.
