LOOK AT THIS AMAZING sale FOR THIS SET OF TWO CROCKS
I HAVE TRAVELED THROUGHOUT CHINA AND HAVE LIVED THERE TWICE. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE I COME ACROSS SOMETHING AMAZING LIKE THESE HERE IN THE STATES. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I HAVE DISCOVERED WHAT THESE ARE.
IN CHINA THERE IS A DELICACY CALLED \"THOUSAND YEAR EGGS\". THEY ARE MADE BY SOAKING DUCK, CHICKEN, OR QUAIL EGGS IN A SOLUTION OF TEA, SALT, QUICKLIME AND A FEW MORE THINGS FOR SEVERAL WEEKS OR EVEN MONTHS UNTIL THE EGG IS READY. THIS PROCESS CHANGES THE TASTE AND LOOK OF THE EGG. GOOGLE SEARCH \"THOUSAND YEAR EGG\" TO SEE PICTURES AND LEARN MORE.
THESE CROCKS WERE WHAT WAS USED TO SOAK AND TRANSPORT THE EGGS IN THE LATE 19TH CENTURY TO THE VERY EARLY 20TH CENTURY. IMAGINE THESE CROCKS SITTING IN A SHOP OR SOMEONES HOME IN CHINA WHILE THE EMPRESS CIXI (AKA \"THE DRAGON LADY\") WAS ALIVE. SHE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR CHOOSING THE VERY LAST EMPEROR OF CHINA.THESE CROCKS WHERE IN CHINA WHILE THE COUNTRY WAS SLOWLY DESCENDING FROM ITS ONCE GREAT IMPERIAL POWER TO A COUNTRY OF WAR LORDS AND ANARCHY.
NOW YOU HAVE THE CHANCE OF OWNING A GREAT PIECE OF HISTORY. IF ONLY THESE CROCKS COULD TALK. MANY PEOPLE NOW USE THEM AS PLANTERS, BUT MAYBE YOU COULD GO INTO BUSINESS AND FILL THE ENDLESS NEED FOR THOUSAND YEAR EGGS IN AMERICA.
PLEASE NOTE THESE ARE GLAZED AND REFER TO THE PICTURES TO SEE THE CONDITION OF THE GLAZE.
I CAN FIND NO CHIPS ON THE RIM OR ANY DAMAGE ON THESE PIECES. THERE IS WEAR ON THE BOTTOM FROM THE 100+ YEARS OF BEING ROLLED AROUND AND MOVED
FEEL FREE TO ASK ME ANYTHING
THANK YOU AND HAPPY offerDING.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% AN INTERESTING UPDATE AS OF 4/7/2015%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%I WAS RECENTLY SHOWING SOME PICTURES OF A TRIP TO CHINA I TOOK A FEW YEARS AGO AND WHILE GOING THROUGH THEM, I NOTICED SOMETHING VERY INTERESTING. WE HAD VISITED THE MUKDEN PALACE IN SHENYANG, CHINA (THE ORIGINAL \"FORofferDEN CITY\"). AT LARGE FACILITIES IN ANCIENT CHINA THEY USE TO HAVE LARGE CONTAINERS THEY WOULD FILL WITH WATER IN CASE OF A FIRE. THE CONTAINERS AT MUKDEN PALACE LOOK VERY SIMILAR TO THESE POTS. I AM UPLOADING A FEW PICTURES OF OUR TRIP AND THE PICTURES I TOOK WITH THEM IN IT. I THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY NEAT THERE ARE SOMETHING SO CLOSE IN LOOKS AT THE PALACE +++++++++++++++++++++++++ PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING WILL BE USING A LOCAL SHIPPING COMPANY TO PACK THESE CROCKS FOR SHIPMENT.
