A LONGQUAN CELADON ‘TWIN FISH’ VASE, SOUTHERN SONG TO YUAN DYNASTY
南宋至元代龍泉青瓷雙魚耳瓶

Sold for €1,896

including Buyer's Premium


Lot details

China, 1127-1368. Thickly potted, the pear-shaped body rising from a spreading foot to a waisted neck with an everted rim. The neck and shoulder molded with three bow-string bands and applied with two fish handles. Covered overall with an even glaze of sea-green tone thinning to pale celadon at the rim and darkening in the recesses, the unglazed foot rim burnt to orange.

Provenance: From a private collection in Southern France.
Condition: Excellent condition with minor traces of use, old wear and some firing irregularities.

Weight: 341.9 g
Dimensions: Height 13.2 cm

Expert’s note: Paired fish symbolize fertility and connubial bliss, and they are also one of the Eight Buddhist symbols. Twin fish were commonly found on dishes, which were popular products of the Longquan kilns during the late Song to early Ming periods. They are significantly rarer on vases.

Auction result comparison: Compare a related Longquan celadon bottle vase, dated to the Yuan dynasty, with similar fish-dragon handles and bow-string bands, of larger size (27 cm), at Christie’s New York, in Important Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art on 13 September 2019, lot 1051, sold for USD 75,000.
