Lally & Co., Oriental Art，《Archaic Chinese Bronzes, Jades and Works of Art》，紐約，1994年六月，編號56Bianhu vessels first appeared as in the Warring States period (457-221 BC), when they formed an important part of religious and cultural rituals aimed at presenting food and drink offerings to the ancestors of powerful families. At the time, various social and political changes were bringing old rituals to an end. One such change was the increasing presence in China of nomadic peoples, and it is likely that the bianhu was inspired by practical vessels used for carrying water on horseback; see J.Rawson, 'Ordering the Exotic: Ritual Practices in the Late Western and Early Eastern Zhou', in Artibus Asiae, vol.73, no.1, 2013, pp.5-76.The intricate interlacing designs noted on the present vessel testify to a highly-developed method of mechanical production that appears to have become the norm during the Eastern Zhou dynasty. At this time, elaborate designs were produced using 'pattern blocks' made of clay, which were carved as the masters from which to impress strips of negative design to fill out the moulds. This method enabled the production of a large number of similarly-decorated vessels, probably intended to impress a socially-prominent audience. In a world of competing courts, conspicuous displays of every kind was the order of the day. For example, the lavish content of the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng, the ruler of a small state on the borders of the Chu kingdom, yielded spectacular wine hu containers, in addition to a magnificent set of sixty-five bronze bells; see Hubei Sheng Bowuguan, Zeng Hou Yi Mu, Beijing, 1989.A bronze bianhu, Warring States period, unearthed in 1977 from the tomb of King Cuo of the Zhongshan state, contained an alcoholic drink, further proving the function of this type of vessel at that time; see Liu Jiansheng, Warring States Treasures- Cultural Relics from the State of Zhongshan, Hebei Province, Hong Kong, 1999, p.44, no.7.The lack of a lid on the present example may be explained because many of these covers were originally made from perishable or fragile materials, such as wood or pottery. See a bianhu and cover, Warring States period, excavated in 1975 at Sanmenxia Shangcunling, Henan Province, now in the Henan Provincial Museum, Zhengzhou, illustrated in Zhongguo Wenwu Jinghua Dacidian, Qingtong juan, Shanghai, 1995, p.241, no.864.

Garden urns/planters: A pair of large and impressive Compton pottery scroll pots, early 20th century, each with small circular makers mark, 50cm high by 60cm diameter. The Compton Potters Art Guild was started by Mary Watts, the wife of G.F. Watts the Victorian allegorical painter. In 1895 work began on the Watts Mortuary Chapel. Designed by Mary Watts, it was to be built from local clay by the villagers of Compton, near Godalming, Surrey. Mr and Mrs Watts were dedicated supporters of the growing Home Arts and Industries Association, a voluntary movement launched by Earl Brownlow in 1885 to revive the dying art of handicraft among the working classes. The idea was that young uneducated artisans should have their eyes opened to the wonders of art. They would be rescued from idleness, gambling and drinking -so the notion ran- during long winter evenings. Uplifted and taught how to use their hands with skill they would acquire a hobby to be proud of and develop this hitherto unknown talent, where possible to professional standards. The Pottery Art Guild continued from strength to strength, winning medals at the Royal Botanical Society and the Home Arts' highest award, the gold cross. Liberty's sold their garden ornaments as well as hand tufted Donegal carpets designed by Mrs Watts. They received architectural commissions from Lutyens, Clough William-Ellis and Goodhart Rendel. Recommended by Jekyll, they made miniature versions of their pots for the garden of Queen Mary's dolls house in the early 1920's. The Guild became a limited company run by George Aubertin and continued to produce works based on Mrs Watts' designs until after her death in 1938. The scroll pots are illustrated in the Art Potters Guild catalogue page 11 and came in a variety of sizes of which this is the largest.Literature: The Watts Chapel, An Arts and Crafts Memorial by Veronica Franklin Gould, Arrow Press, Farnham, Surrey

The group produced innovative terracotta garden ornaments, recommended by the garden designer Gertrude Jekyll. The pottery's output was extensive, from large terracotta garden pottery to smaller household figures, jugs, plaques and pendants. After World War I, pairs of bookends and other ornaments were made, including Archers, Galleons, Fruit and Flowers. The majority of the pottery was made from a soft white body and decorated with tempera, an egg-based paint. The designs and products of the Guild were sold in several London shops, including Liberty & Co.
