A LARGE CIZHOU BLACK-GLAZED BOTTLE VASE, YUHUCHUN PING, YUAN DYNASTY
元代磁州窯黑釉玉壺春瓶
Sold for €1,040
including Buyer's Premium
China, 1279-1368. The pear-shaped body supported on a short spreading foot and rising to a waisted neck with a broad everted rim, the exterior and interior covered in a thick lustrous black glaze attractively pooling above the foot, the base carved with a recessed circle.
Provenance: From the estate of Anthony Powell, London, United Kingdom, and thence by descent. Anthony Powell (1935-2021) was a British costume designer who brought deep research to his work in both theater and film. His costume designs for John Gielgud's production of The School for Scandal (1963) earned him a Tony Award. Powell collaborated on movies with Steven Spielberg and Roman Polanski and won three Academy Awards for Best Costume Design, including 1978’s Death on the Nile. He was an avid collector of fabrics and trimmings as well as Chinese, Indian, and Southeast Asian works of art.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, traces of use, and some expected firing flaws, few small chips to foot, minor fritting to rim.
Weight: 4,478 g
Dimensions: Height 38 cm

Type: Closely related
Auction: Sotheby’s New York, 11 September 2012, lot 124
Estimate: USD 8,000 or approx. EUR 9,800 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing
Description: A black-glazed vase (yuhuchunping), Yuan dynasty
Expert remark: Compare the closely related form and black glaze. Note the smaller size (32.3 cm).
Expert's note (added 18.2.2023): Wine was extremely important in the lives of people during the Song Dynasty. This 'yuhuchunping' is a reflection of this importance, with such vessels being the primary method of pouring wine for drinking. Wine would've been poured into such a vase from a storage vessel (see lot 363 for an example) for further distribution into glasses or bowls for drinking. Wine during this period was most often made from an Asian plum of the prunus genus, and thus we see prunus iconography replicated for the next several centuries in the decoration of pottery.
