Lot details

China, 206 BC to 220 AD. Of oval shape, the robust vessel is covered overall in a vibrant green glaze which is finely crackled. The thick ear-shaped handles protrude from the sides and the vessel stands on a short, flat foot.

Provenance: From the personal collection of Michael B. Weisbrod, New York. Michael B. Weisbrod is a noted scholar of Chinese art, who has published extensively on the subject over a time span of more than 50 years. In 1972, Michael joined his father Dr. Gerald Weisbrod’s Asian art gallery in Toronto, Canada. The father-and-son team opened their New York location on Madison Avenue in 1977, and during the next 45 years the gallery held a significant number of exhibitions, selling to museums and private collectors across the globe, eventually adding further locations in Shanghai and Hong Kong.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Some firing irregularities, such as glaze recesses, signs of weathering, a few losses to the glaze with associated minor touch-ups. The glaze has undergone some oxidization, amplifying the ear cup’s bright green color.

Weight: 274.5 g
