- Lot Description
**First Time At Auction**
East Asia, China, Han Dynasty, ca. 206 BCE to 220 CE. A hand-built tiered ceramic oil lamp with a concave footed base and a squat pedestal neck, a large lower basin with four equidistant perforations, a smaller upper basin with four additional perforations, and a stylized winged phoenix finial with a third basin of a petite size extending from its back. Five of the eight original lamps accompany this vessel, each of an abstract zoomorphic form with shallow discoid oil trays attached to their backs and conical tails which fit snugly inside the basin perforations. Each component of this lamp is covered in a lead-based, verdant green glaze and scattered areas of silvery iridescence characteristic of high-quality Han Dynasty pottery. A fabulous and exceptionally rare example! Size: 9.375" W x 18.875" H (23.8 cm x 47.9 cm).
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase.
Provenance: ex-Hutter Auctions, New York, New York, USA; ex-private New York, New York, USA estate collection, formed around 1980
