Lot 23
An amber glazed stoneware pilgrim flask, Liao dynasty, modelled after a leather prototype, the swelling body flattened at the top with a finger pinched loop handle, attached to a cylindrical spout, covered with thin-bright green glaze over a white slip falling irregularly to reveal the buff coloured body, 23cm high. Vessels bearing similar shape to the present one were also known as “cockscomb pots”, jiguanhu, or horse-stirrup pots, madenghu. These bottles appear to have originated from the Mongolian leather satchel-like containers employed by early Qidan people from as early as the 4th century AD, to store liquids such as water, milk and wine. Such vessels have been mainly excavated from graves belonging to members of the Qidan aristocracy. The simulated holes for attachment of a carrying strap and the raised stitched-like decoration and rivets are typical features occurring on the earliest ceramic versions of this form. Indeed, later forms, bearing loop handles, would seem to suggest the adoption of a sedentary life on behalf of the Qidan, following their contacts with their Han Chinese neighbours. Comparable examples of cockscomb bottles have been unearthed from Liao dynasty tombs in Liaoning and Inner Mongolia and can also be found in notable private collections, mainly located in Hong Kong, such as the Mengdiexuan, Xiwenguo Zhai and Jiurutang.Bid Live at the-saleroom.com

The following 8 lots are by the British ceramic artist Peter Hayes, Peter Hayes was born in Birmingham and after initial studies at the Birmingham College of Art he travelled to Africa, India, Japan, Korea and New Mexico where he worked as a ceramic artist with tribes and he was inspired to use limited technology and tools but rather combining techniques derived from the landscape and his natural surroundings. The distinctive appearance of Peter Hayes' ceramics comes from the techniques like Raku firing which he subjects them but also by submerging them in the river beside his studio in Bath or washing them in the Cornish seas for months at a time. Erosion and change through time and nature are recorded in his pieces . The water washes minerals like copper and metal oxides into the white clay which he works with creating random elements that make every piece individual. Hayes then finishes the works by waxing and polishing.
