A BRONZE ‘ARCHAISTIC’ SQUARE VESSEL, WANLI MARK AND PERIOD
萬曆款及年代青銅仿古方觚
Sold for €8,216
including Buyer's Premium
China, 1573-1619. The body supported on a spreading foot and rising to a long neck applied with two tubular handles reminiscent of arrow vases (touhu) and flaring toward the galleried rim. The body is cast to each side in low relief with a taotie mask against a key-fret ground, divided by flanges to the corners. The base cast with four-character mark Wanli nianzhi within a countersunk square reserve and of the period.
Provenance: The Mee-Din and Robert W. Moore Collection. Robert W. Moore is a famed California collector of Chinese and Korean art, whose passion began in the 1950s when he served in the US Army and was stationed in Korea. After his return to the United States, he began collecting Korean and later also Chinese works of art, and over the following decades became a very knowledgeable, discerning, and influential collector.
Condition: Good condition with old wear and minor casting flaws, including minor losses. Few minuscule nicks, occasional light scratches, small dents. Fine, naturally grown, golden-brown patina.
Weight: 2,724 g
Dimensions: Height 29.5 cm
The neck similarly cast in high relief with taotie and flanges above pendent stiff leaves with taotie masks against a key-fret ground, above bands of spiral bosses in high relief. The foot with stylized taotie masks formed by scrolling designs.
With a later Japanese bronze lining for floral arrangements and with a Japanese wood storage box. (2)
Auction result comparison: Compare a closely related fang gu vase, dated 15th-16th century, of related form and with similar designs, also with Japanese bronze lining and Japanese wood storage box, at Christie’s Hong Kong in Leisurely Delights on 29 May 2019, lot 2952, sold for HKD 112,500.
