Ca. 206 BC - 220 AD. Han dynasty. Beautiful decorated bronze mirror. The small fluted loop is framed by a concave square border from which four heart-shaped leaves radiate, each supporting short straight stems terminating in further leaves, divided by four large grooved 'T' motifs converging from the raised rim, all on a fine ground of hooks, wings and feathers. The Han Dynasty, which ruled between 202 BC-220 AD, brought great prosperity and stability to China, reigning over a golden age of classical Chinese civilisation during which China saw major advances including the widespread development of a monetary economy and the invention of paper, as well as much progress in the decorative arts. As early as 2000 B.C., bronze technology was highly developed in China, and objects made from this alloy of copper, tin, and lead were considered luxury items, reserved for the aristocratic class. Among these coveted pieces were small bronze mirrors. Usually cast from clay molds, they were highly polished on one side, offering a reflective surface, while the other side was decorated with intricate patterns and designs that reveal an astonishing level of skill and artistry in their craftsmanship. Birds, dragons, and serpents were common motifs in the earliest mirrors. Later, more sophisticated and intricate designs included mythological figures, deities, animals of the Chinese zodiac, abstract patterns, background textures, inscriptions, enamelwork, and inlays of jade, turquoise, and mother-of-pearl. Provenance: From an old British collection of Asian Art formed in the 1990 on the UK and European art market. Size: L:190mm / W:190mm ; 810g

C. 1368-1644 AD. Ming Dynasty. An interesting large size Chinese Ming dynasty hollow glazed ceramic offering table. With beautiful dark green, orange, and black slip. From ancient times it was a common practice for the Chinese to bury miniature replicas of objects, utilitarian and ornamental objects with the deceased. These objects are referred to as Ming qi or spirit object. Usually these were of a practical nature used or favoured by the deceased during his/her lifetime. This practice was taken to extremes by royalty or the wealthiest people. Items such as this table were buried with a departed soul in the belief that they could enjoy their favourite foods and the comfort of eating at the table in the afterlife as they did whilst living. The more common items offered to assist the average deceased person into the other world were practical utilitarian objects such as cooking utensils, miniature replicas of their houses, horses and working animals, as well as a range of furniture and other items made from terracotta. The wealthy and those of royal lineage were buried with more lavish items, such as jade, jewellery and objects made from gold, jade and silver, paintings and books. Provenance: Private British collection; previously in Brian Page collection since the 1980s. Size: L:300mm / W:755mm ; 30kg
