- Lot Description
Southeast Asia, Vietnam, Anamese (sometimes Annamese), ca. 15th century CE. This is a beautiful and charming collection of 4 ceramic animal water dropper vessels from the Hoi An Hoard and the monkey bears a sticker numbered 44921 from the SAGA/VISAL project to recover porcelain pieces from this famous shipwreck. The examples here are both water droppers for use in the art of calligraphy mold made into an elephant, fish, tortoise, and monkey holding a baby- all painted blue on white. The tortoise has marine encrustations and barnacles on the neck and base, clear signs from time spent in the ocean (he might be a sea turtle now). Scholarly arts, such as painting and calligraphy were highly respected and as a result many unique utensils were produced. One such item produced was the water dropper, which was used to dilute the cake of ink on the inkstone to obtain the right consistency for use in painting. Size of largest: 3.24" L x 1.75" W x 2.25" H (8.2 cm x 4.4 cm x 5.7 cm)
Provenance: private Dodge collection, Superior, Colorado, USA acquired in Texas 2008
