Lot details

China, 618-907. The ovoid body supported on a short, slightly tapered foot and set on the high shoulder with two small strap handles applied at the base of the waisted neck between the short conical spout and the larger strap handle. Covered with a finely crackled dark-brown glaze highlighted by splashes of milky blue glaze running down from the shoulder and neck, stopping irregularly above the foot, revealing the buff-colored body. The base carved with a spiral design.

Provenance: Collection of Lim Kee Chin, thence by descent within the same family. Lim Kee Chin was Singapore’s trade commissioner to Hong Kong in the 1960s under Yusof Ishak (1910-1970), the first President of Singapore.
Condition: Very good condition with minor old wear, ancient traces of use and shallow surface scratches, and firing flaws, intentional glaze crackling, and few small glaze losses to the interior of the neck.

Weight: 815.1 g
Dimensions: Height 17 cm, Width 16 cm (at the widest points)

Literature comparison: Compare a closely related ewer, also dated to the Tang dynasty but of slightly larger size (27 cm high), in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art, accession number 2017.17.

Intended Spend and Bid Limits

When you register to bid in an online auction, you will need to share your intended maximum spending budget for the auction. We will then review your intended spend and set a bid limit for you.

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. If you try to place a bid that is higher than €500, you will not be able to do so.
