A GREEN GLAZED ‘CHICKEN HEAD’ EWER, TANG TO LIAO DYNASTY
唐至遼代綠釉鷄頭罐
Sold for €1,690
including Buyer's Premium
China, 618-1125. The baluster body tapering towards the foot, surmounted by a flaring rim, set with an arched handle with three knobs, terminating in a dragon head. The spout in the form of a chicken head, the neck with three ribs, two lines incised at the shoulder. The body covered in a dark green glaze suffused with fine crackles, stopping well above the foot to reveal the buff ware.
Provenance: From the collection of R. Marian Hicks, OBE, who was a professor at the School of Pathology and Department of Oncology at Middlesex Hospital Medical School, London. She was an avid collector of Tang and Song dynasty ceramics and her noted collection also included Chinese bronzes, textiles, and rank badges.
Condition: Very good condition commensurate with age showing old wear, few small nicks, and manufacturing flaws including pottery lines, firing flaws, and glaze recesses. The glaze with intentional crackling, minor oxidation and extensive weathering, as expected from an authentic ceramic ewer of this period.
