Lot details

China, 13th century. Massively potted, the cylindrical sides rising from the splayed foot to an incurved and slightly everted rim. The sides carved with two large phoenixes in flight amid lotus scrolls, covered overall in a finely crackled sea-green glaze pooling over the rim toward the interior, stopping unevenly above the foot, and darkening in the recesses.

Provenance: From an English private collection in Buckinghamshire, acquired in the 1980s and thence by descent.
Condition: Extensive old wear and firing flaws, as well as substantial glaze erosion. A larger chip to rim, with issuing hairline crack and associated old fills and touchups, all well visible on the images online at www.zacke.at. No hidden damages.

Intended Spend and Bid Limits

When you register to bid in an online auction, you will need to share your intended maximum spending budget for the auction. We will then review your intended spend and set a bid limit for you. Once you have pre-registered for a live online auction, you can see your intended spend and bid limit by going to 'Account Settings' and clicking on 'Live Bidding Registrations'. 

Your bid limit will be the maximum amount you can bid during the auction. Your bid limit is for the hammer price and is not affected by the buyer’s premium and VAT.  For example, if you have a bid limit of €1,000 and place two winning bids for €300 and €200, then you will only be able to bid €500 for the rest of the auction. If you try to place a bid that is higher than €500, you will not be able to do so.
