A LARGE GREEN-GLAZED RED POTTERY FIGURE OF A DOG, HAN DYNASTYScientific Analysis Report: A thermoluminescence analysis report issued by Oxford Authentication on 28 March 2022, based on sample number C122d95, sets the firing date of two samples taken at between 1400 and 2200 years ago. A copy of the report, issued by Oxford Authentication, accompanies this lot. A copy of an associated report from Antiques Analytics, Institute for Scientific Authenticity Testing, dated 4 May 2022, written and signed by Dr. Robert Neunteufel, accompanies this lot.China, 206 BC to 220 AD. Powerfully modeled in a recumbent position with a tall, thick-set neck with several horizontal ribs, surmounted by an animated head raised in an alert attitude to one side, the mouth open to reveal a tongue flanked by two sharp teeth, the large and distinctive ears folding inwards. The body covered overall with an emerald-green glaze save for the underside. Also note the neatly curved short tail.Provenance: From the private collection of Dr. Rudolf Leopold, and thence by descent. Dr. Rudolf Leopold (1925-2010) was an Austrian physician and important collector of art. He was born in Vienna and started actively collecting in the mid-1950s, with an early and major focus being works by Egon Schiele, whose paintings were available inexpensively at the time. Leopold acquired a catalog of Schiele's work in 1950 and became enamored with the artist's work, despite the fact that he was distinctly out of fashion. Pieces that he bought for little money would later be worth millions. Other Austrian artists he collected included Gustav Klimt and Oskar Kokoschka. A substantial part of his collection, numbering around 5,000 works of art, was purchased by the Republic of Austria and used as the foundation to create the Leopold Museum, of which the collector was made a director for life. Dr. Rudolf Leopold was also a passionate collector of Chinese works of art. Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Displaying exceptionally well. Extensive wear, firing flaws, some losses and associated old repairs, small chips, few structural cracks, signs of weathering and erosion, encrustations, a drilled hole from sample-taking, all exactly as expected from Han dynasty excavations of this rather large size.Weight: 5.4 kg Dimensions: Height 42.9 cmExpert's note: It is rare to find Han glazed pottery figures of dogs of this exceptionally large size.

AN APPLE-GREEN JADEITE SNUFF BOTTLE, 1718-1860China. Well hollowed, of flattened globular form with tapering foot, surmounted by a straight cylindrical neck with concave top. The translucent stone dramatically patterned with areas of icy white, opaque green, and brilliant emerald-green tone.Provenance: Ago von Maltzan, acquired in Beijing between 1912 and 1916, and thence by descent within the same family. A collector's number '18' to the base. Adolf Georg Otto “Ago” von Maltzan, Freiherr zu Wartenberg und Penzlin (1877-1927), was a preeminent German diplomat of the Weimar Republic, who served in Beijing between 1912 and 1916, after posts in Kristiania (1909), St. Petersburg (1911), and Rio de Janeiro (1907). As the Permanent Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, he was a signatory of the Treaty of Rapallo (1922) between Germany and Soviet Russia, under which both countries renounced all territorial and financial claims against each other and opened friendly diplomatic relations. From 1924, he served as Ambassador to the United States in Washington, D.C. The Vossische Zeitung, a nationally known Berlin newspaper that represented the interests of the liberal middle class and was generally regarded as Germany's national newspaper of record, described Maltzan as the most competent diplomat that Germany ever had. Condition: Very good condition with minor nibbling. The stone with natural fissures, some of which may have developed into thin hairline cracks over time. The stopper with a smoothened chip, the gilt-copper collar with light wear, small nicks, and minuscule losses.Stopper: Tourmaline with gilt-copper collar, good tortoiseshell spoonWeight: 66.9 gDimensions: Height including stopper 53 mm. Diameter neck 17 mm and mouth 6 mm.Jadeite comes from a remote part of Burma and first became a readily available material probably between 1784 and 1800 when relations between Burma and China improved with the opening up of regular trade. It is likely that bottles such as this example represent the earliest popular use of jadeite in China. With the imperially inspired snuff-bottle craze at its height during the late eighteenth century, there can be no question that a striking new material arriving on the scene would promptly be carved into bottles. Porcelain bottles made to imitate jadeite during the Daoguang period attest to its well-established popularity.Auction result comparison:Type: RelatedAuction: Sotheby's New York, 27 September 2022, lot 780Price: USD 8,820 or approx.

A GREEN AND WHITE DOUBLE-OVERLAY PINK GLASS 'SILKWORM' SNUFF BOTTLE, YANGZHOU SCHOOLChina, c. 1820-1910. The flattened globular body supported on a gently spreading foot and rising to a cylindrical neck, finely carved through the outer white and green layers to the dusky pink ground with a continuous scene of silkworms, silk moths, and cocoons as well as half-eaten mulberry leaves.Provenance: From the collection of Chip and Muffy Matthews, St. Louis, USA. Churchill “Chip” Matthews, Jr. (1940-2021) and Martha “Muffy” Matthews were American collectors of Chinese snuff bottles who traveled extensively. Chip was a US army veteran, who founded the noted medical company Wrymark Inc. in 1989. In 2013, their private garden was featured by St. Louis Homes and Lifestyles as the 'Garden of the Year'. Condition: Excellent condition with some old wear and expected manufacturing irregularities, including a notable open bubble to one side.Stopper: Green glassWeight: 50.9 gDimensions: Height incl. stopper 70 mm. Diameter neck 18 mm and mouth 7 mmExpert's note: The present lot is a rare double overlay from the Yangzhou school of the popular silkworm design. This subject is usually found in single overlay bottles only. Hugh Moss recently wrote about the Yangzhou and Li Junting school of bottles: “We now know that there was a Yangzhou philanthropist named Li Weizhi with the zi Junting or, read properly, Yunting. Like several Chinese characters, jun has more than one reading. In this case, it is also an ancient form of yun, 'resonance', and can be read with that pronunciation. On Treasury 5, no. 1024, we find the name written with the standard yun: 'For the enjoyment of Yunting himself'. Li Weizhi was a native of Dantu and set up a silk factory in Zhenjiang, right across the Yangtze River from Yangzhou, in 1895. Jingjiang, which [one] bottle tells us is Li's native place, is an old name for both Dantu (now a district of Zhenjiang) and Zhenjiang. Despite the strong association of this style of glass snuff bottle with Yangzhou, it is possible that Li Weizhi had his bottles made in Zhenjiang. Whatever the case, our new knowledge of Li Yunting's identity enables us to reassess the bottles we have been ascribing to the 'Li Junting school'. We are engaged in that process and shall soon be making a full report to the snuff-bottle world.”Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Bonhams Hong Kong, 28 May 2010, lot 61 Price: HKD 264,000 or approx.
