A TWO-PIECE MINIATURE BRONZE STEAMER, XIAN, EASTERN HAN TO THREE KINGDOMS PERIOD
東漢至三國時代小銅甗
Sold for €1,896
including Buyer's Premium
China, 26-265 AD or slightly later. The bowl with deep rounded sides rising from a separately cast short spreading foot to an everted rim. The cover with a raised central panel surmounted by a separately cast flared ‘rim’, indicating its use as both a cover for the steamer and as a serving or cooking plate. (2)
Provenance: Arthur M. Sackler, New York. Arthur Mitchell Sackler (1913-1987) was one of America’s foremost art collectors, who amassed the largest Chinese art collection in the world. His name lives on in many art-related projects: the Sackler Wing that houses the Temple of Dendur at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery at Princeton University, and the Arthur M. Sackler Museum at Harvard University. At the Smithsonian Institute, the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery is a museum for Asian and Near Eastern Art. In China, the Arthur M. Sackler Museum of Art and Archaeology teaches museology to students in Beijing.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, signs of weathering and erosion, small losses to the foot of the bowl. Fine, naturally grown patina, with extensive malachite and few azurite encrustations.
Weight: 379.2 g (the bowl) and 320.4 g (the cover)
Dimensions: Height 11.5 cm (the bowl and cover), Diameter 17.5 cm (the cover)
Literature comparison: Compare a closely related two-piece miniature steamer from the Avery Brundage Collection, also dated Eastern Han dynasty to Three Kingdoms period and of closely related size, in the collection of the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, object number B65B48.a-.b.
