A RARE PURPLE-SPLASHED JUN DISH
金代罕見鈞窯紫斑圓盤

Sold for €2,340

including Buyer's Premium


Lot details

China, presumably Jin Dynasty (1115-1234). Sturdily potted with shallow rounded sides and a lipped everted rim, applied overall with a pale lavender-blue glaze thinning to mushroom at the rim. The interior liberally splashed with striking purple transmuting to copper-green in some areas. The countersunk base with three distinct spur marks. The rounded foot rim glazed as well.

Provenance: Old English private collection, acquired in the London trade during the 1990s and thence by descent in the same family. A noted Japanese private collection, acquired from the above.
Condition: Very good condition with minor old wear and some firing flaws, the base with three spur marks, the dish warped, the interior with light surface scratches.

Weight: 372.2 g
Dimensions: Diameter 17.1 cm

With a Japanese wood box and cover as well as a custom-made silk brocade pouch and padding. (3)

Literature comparison: Compare two closely related dishes, one of slightly larger size, in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, illustrated in A Panorama of Ceramics in the National Palace Museum: Chun Ware, Taipei, 1999, pl. 56 and 57. For further related dishes with similar purple splashes, see two in the Palace Museum, Beijing, one from the Qing Court collection, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum. Porcelain of the Song Dynasty (I), Hong Kong, 1996, pls. 226 and 230, and one in the Sir Percival David collection in the British Museum, London, illustrated in Oriental Ceramics. The World's Great Collections, vol. 6, Tokyo, 1982, col. pl. 17.

Auction result comparison: Compare a closely related but slightly larger (20.8 cm diameter) dish, also dated to the Jin dynasty and with very similar purple-splashed glaze with areas of copper-green, at Sotheby’s London in Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art on 10 November 2010, lot 182, sold for GBP 121,250.

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.
