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

In 1815 he was sent to the American colonies as commanding general of the army of Upper Peru where he was appointed Viceroy of Peru in 1821, a post he held until 1824. The correspondence files of the Ministry for Foreign Relations includes an entry for a pair of embellished Versailles pistols from the First Consul in 1802 to Mariano Luis d`Urquijo, Spanish first minister for Foreign Affairs at the beginning of the 19th century. The d`Urquijo pair remain unknown and it has been suggested that they might be the present pair, having been later presented by the Spanish First Minister to the Viceroy of Peru. This theory is strengthened by the following entry for a number of pieces for the Ministry in the Annuaire of the Versailles Manufactory for AN X, or 1802: Ministre du Relations Extérieur Pistolets gros calibre a secret, arg. gravé riche, fr. 2.400 Nécess. acajou, pistol. arg. gravé, chaînette, roulet. damasq., fr. 1.200 Nécess. acajou, pistolets de combat, argent, cis. 1er modèle, riche, placage arg. damasq., bassinets or, fr. 3.000 Service: 2 fusils doubles forestiers A related pair of pistols, with similarly decorated barrels, trigger-guards and ramrod-pipes, are preserved in the Wallace Collection, nos. A1219 and A1220. The number of ramrod-pipes on both pairs of pistols is unusual for Boutet. The use of platinum is probably a very early modification, perhaps added at the same time as the pistols were fitted into the present case. The anti-corrosion properties of platinum were well known by 1800 and it was used to line shotgun barrels by Jean LePage circa 1819. Nicolas-Noël Boutet (1761-1833) the distinguished maker of armes de luxe inherited the position of gunmaker to Louis XIV from his father-in-law, Pierre de Sainte (active 1747-88). In 1792 he became technical Director at the new Versailles Manufactory and in 1800 rose to Directeur Artiste with overall control. He held this position until the closure of the manufactory in 1818. Boutet died fifteen years later in poverty, his career having survived six French Political regimes.
