Jais Nielsen (Danish, 1885-1961) for Royal Copenhagen, Denmark. Ceramic sculpture titled "Jacob's Struggle" depicting the biblical scene from the Book of Genesis in which Jacob wrestles the angel, early 20th century. Stoneware with a deeply purple, mulberry glaze. Impressed "JAIS" signature and numbered 20190 along the underside. Stamped with both Royal Copenhagen crown and wave form marksThis sculpture depicts the biblical scene in which Jacob wrestles with an angel throughout the night, symbolizing both a physical and spiritual conflict. The dynamic pose captures Jacob's tension and determination, reflecting his inner turmoil. This narrative explores themes of perseverance, identity, and the search for blessings, culminating in Jacob's transformation and the changing of his name to "Israel".In Danish culture, this story resonates with the values of resilience and individualism, often reflected in the nation’s artistic and literary traditions.

A very rare Chinese painted pottery ding, Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 8), the body with two square-cut handles, raised circular band around the top of the cover allows it to be taken off, turned upside down and used as a bowl, on three feet of human form, each brightly painted, 22cm diameter, 18cm high This unusual pottery tripod vessel, or "ding", was made during the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC - AD 8). It is made from a grey pottery, relatively highly-fired, both body and cover having a distinct ring when tapped. There are traces on the surface still remaining of its original "cold painted" pattern.In very good condition with some surface wear and the inevitable loss of pigment - there is no repair or restoration. Although we believe the cover to be the original for the body, it appears to have shrunk a little during firing and does not quite sit perfectly on the body. For reference: similar examples, although none with human-shaped feet, are illustrated and described in the Southeast Asian Ceramic Society (SEACS) book "Spirit of Han"..PLEASE NOTE:- Prospective buyers are strongly advised to examine personally any goods in which they are interested BEFORE the auction takes place.
