Lot details

China, 960-1127. The conical sides rising from a short and slightly tapered foot to a flared rim, the interior neatly incised with three evenly spaced boys facing different directions, surrounding a central circular recess. Covered in a soft white glaze stopping neatly below the rim and unevenly above the foot, revealing the white ware.

Provenance: Jung’s, Inc., Wilmington, Delaware, USA, 6 May 1995. Lawrence H. Dunbar, Jr. (d. 2008), Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, USA, acquired from the above and thence by descent within the family. A copy of the original invoice from Jung’s, Inc., dated 6 May 1995, accompanies this lot. Jung’s, Inc. was an art and antiques dealership founded by Shee Lup Jung (1922-2015). Mr. Jung received his PhD in Chemistry from the University of Pennsylvania in 1951, when he was employed as a research chemist for DuPont. Inspired by his wife Mary’s passion for the arts, Mr. Jung slowly and methodically studied ancient glazes and ceramics, including their chemical and mineral aspects, acquiring a multitude of study pieces for the family’s collection. In 1975, he started Jung’s, Inc. in a historic location in central Wilmington, Delaware, as a museum-like gallery with an impressive selection of ceramics, open by appointment only and selling mostly to knowledgeable and scholarly collectors much like Jung himself.
Condition: Very good condition with some old wear, traces of use and firing flaws, including dark spots and open bubbles, and few tiny smoothened chips to the rim.

Weight: 314.2 g
Dimensions: Diameter 19.2 cm

With a Chinese storage box, dating from the second half of the 20th century. (2)

Dunbar (逝世於 2008年),購於上述藝廊,在同一家族保存至今。隨附一份1995年5月6日出具的藝廊發票複印件。Jung藝廊是由Shee Lup Jung(1922-2015)成立的藝術古董店。 Jung先生於 1951 年獲得賓夕法尼亞大學化學博士學位,當時他受聘為杜邦公司化學研究員。受妻子 Mary 對藝術的熱情啟發,Jung 先生開始緩慢但系統地研究古代釉料和陶瓷,包括它們的化學和礦物結構,為家族收藏提供大量的研究藏品。1975 年,他在特拉華州威爾明頓市中心的一個歷史悠久的地方成立了 Jung藝廊,這是一家博物館式的藝廊,收藏了令人印象深刻的陶瓷,只接受預約參觀,主要出售給與 Jung 本人一樣的知識淵博和學術收藏家。

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.
