- Lot Description
East Asia, China, Song Dynasty, ca. 960 to 1279 CE. A lovely Qingbai ware funerary vessel used in southern China to hold grain and other offerings inside of a tomb. The egg-shaped lower body rests atop a gently flared foot and is surmounted by a program of 12 applied figures wearing robes in front of billowing clouds as well as a separate, infant-sized individual crawling on all fours. Above the figural register are several additional relief figures including an abstract, seated guardian warrior who brandishes a sword beneath a sun disc, a massive dragon soaring along with a pair of mythical phoenixes, and a striding horse and turtle on the ground. The upper rim bears a scalloped central rim with four petite suspension loops beneath. Qingbai ware (translated as "greenish white") is indicative of the faint, sage-green glaze that covers the pale orange pottery beneath and is arguably the first mass-produced type of porcelain to be used for exporting and burial wares. Size: 6.1" W x 23.4" H (15.5 cm x 59.4 cm)
Provenance: ex-estate of Eldert Bontekoe, Pegasi Numismatics, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, acquired before 2000
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
