A RARE JAPANESE WOOD TOAD-FORM HAND WARMER the creature with its head raised and metal-lined mouth open, the chest area with a poetic inscription signed San'yo (Rai San'yo 1780-1832), the back carved with warts, the eyes inlaid, Edo period, circa 1820-30, 21cm long; the softwood box with hakogaki reading 'Hiki, te-aburi Shiko zoju" (toad, a treasured collection of Shiko, a hand-warmer), also with a label inscribed 'Jidai kiri gama teaburi' (a piece of antique item, paulownia wood, toad, hand-warmer) This hand-warmer is an unusual and fascinating object which exemplifies the mixture of humour and sophistication inherent in Japanese literati sensibility. Rai San'yo (1780-1832) was a noted Neo-Confucian scholar and philosopher, author of many books, Chinese classic poet, and a generous patron to literati and painters of the time. The inscription on the box indicates that the hand warmer was at one time in the collection of the painter Kojima Shiko (1889-1960) - a distinguished artist who showed his work at Government-sponsored exhibitions. Provenance: An Important Private Collection of Chinese and other East Asian Art.
A RARE CHINESE SOAPSTONE 'CHILONG' BOULDER, the warm stone of amber-yellow tone, carved with five writhing chilong dragons, late Ming - early Qing Dynasty, 9cm long. Provenance: Spink and Son Ltd London 1975. An Important Private Collection of Chinese and other East Asian Art. For a comparable carving see Sotheby's New York, 17th September 2013, lot 117.
AN IMPORTANT LARGE CHINESE GREEN JADE RECUMBENT HORSE, the animal reclining to one side, its' head turned to the right with ears pointed forward and mane finely carved, the face with a serene and confident expression communicated through the crisply-defined mouth, nostrils and eyes, the front legs tucked under the body, the finely-detailed tail swept around and tucked between the back leg and generous hindquarters, the underside showing the four folded legs, the stone of sea-green tones with lighter and darker markings, the back area with some russet and brown skin remaining, late Ming - early Qing Dynasty, 17th century, 23.5cm long; in a custom-made fitted box with integral hardwood stand and wood outer case. Provenance: Spink & Son Ltd London 1961. An Important Private Collection of Chinese and other East Asian Art. CONVEYOR OF PEACE AND STRENGTH: AN IMPORTANT LARGE GREEN JADE RECUMBENT HORSE “… among the most ambitious and monumental examples of jade ever worked in China; and perhaps all of them once had their place in the pavilions of the various palaces in Peking.” These are the words of Jessica Rawson and John Ayers describing the important and rare group of large Chinese jade carvings of horses and buffalo to which the present lot belongs. They are from the catalogue to the 1975 exhibition ‘Chinese Jade Through the Ages’ organised by the Arts Council of Great Britain and the Oriental Ceramic Society and held at the Victoria and Albert Museum (see pages 118-120 of the text). The exhibition included no fewer than eight examples from this group – surely the largest number ever exhibited together, and gathered from important collections, including Mr and Mrs John D. Rockerfeller, Somerset de Chair, and the Fitzwilliam Museum Cambridge. In discussing the horses, the authors continue: “The horses in particular are remarkable for their intense observation and their powerful stylisation of artistic form, by means of which the artist has succeeded wonderfully in conveying the alert strength of the animal despite its fundamental attitude of repose.” It is difficult to imagine what better words could summarise the achievement of the anonymous Chinese jade carvers who created these magnificent works of sculpture. Although the details of their commissioning are unclear, it is likely that they were made for Imperial consumption, as the quote above suggests. Connoisseurship in this area has its own criteria and cannot be compared to the standard imposed upon later Qing Dynasty jade carvings where purity of stone is so critical. Generally thought to have been made in the 17th century, when there was a paucity of purer stone, it is the way in which the carver worked with the available material that counts. In this context, natural flaws are transformed and celebrated. For instance, on this horse the sea-green stone with its lighter opaque markings evokes a wonderful sense of depth which expresses the mysterious beauty of the stone. Also, the artist has left areas of the stone’s skin exposed on the back of the horse, no doubt caused by the constraints of the boulder but also appearing as an act of reverence to the material. The contrast of exquisite carving with the natural roughness of the stone’s skin is part of the object’s beauty and rewards handling. The form of the horse is also of great interest and appears unique on this scale. Other examples have a raised head whereas this one has its head low. This position seems to emphasise the sense of peace and confidence which the carver has captured on the horse’s face and which expresses so clearly the significance of the animal in Chinese culture. In doing this the artist has shown exceptional creativity, transforming the natural limitations of the boulder into such a successful composition. At 23.5cm long the present lot is towards the lower end of the size range within the group, with most falling between 20cm and 35cm in length. It is very rare for examples to appear on the market. A larger horse (31.5cm) from the Collection of Lord Cunliffe was sold by Bonhams London on 11th November 2002, lot 9. More recently a smaller example (19.5cm) was offered at the same salerooms on 10th November 2011, lot 349. This horse is an exciting discovery, having remained in a private collection since its purchase from Spinks in 1961. It now joins the group of published examples and thus adds to our understanding of these important jade sculptures.
A FINE SMALL CHINESE JUNYAO 'BUBBLE' BOWL, the steep sides of gently rounded form, the thick glaze of milky-blue and moon-white tones suffused with tiny bubbles and pooling above the unglazed foot, Northern Song Dynasty, 8.3cm diameter. Provenance: T. Y. King Jnr to Bluett and Sons, October 19th 1960 (£90). Bluett and Sons to R. G. Hill, April 6th 1961 (£115). R. G. Hill to Bluett and Sons 1964 (£90). Bluett and Sons to the present collection, March 18th 1964 (£160). An Important Private Collection of Chinese and other East Asian Art. This exquisite little bowl exemplifies the so-called Junyao 'bubble' type - a relatively rare group within the range of Jun wares. The name derives from the presence within the glaze of small pearlescent bubbles which develope during firing and reinforces the attention to detail and subtlety inherent in connoisseurship of Song Dynasty ceramics. For a very similar bowl from the Feng Wen Tang Collection see Bonhams Hong Kong, 9th October 2014, lot 116.
A CHINESE FAMILLE ROSE BLACK-GROUND SMALL DISH finely potted with gently-rounded sides, the exterior decorated with four different types of flowerheads amongst further flowers and leafy tendrils, all reserved on a black ground, the foot with a scroll band, the base with a six-character Yongzheng mark within a double circle in underglazed blue and probably of the period, 11.6cm diameter. Provenance: A deceased Estate, West Dorset. This finely potted and enamelled dish belongs to a relatively rare group of wares exhibiting the same decoration on a variety of objects. A small dish of this size does not seem to have been recorded. For a larger example see Christie's London, 8th November 2011, lot. 433.
AN EXCEPTIONAL CHINESE 'OIL-SPOT' (YOUDIYOU) GLAZED WAN BOWL, of gently rounded form, the rich dark brown glaze suffused with numerous small silvery markings, pooling more thickly in places, the lower body and foot unglazed, Northern Song - Jin Dynasty, 11.5cm diameter. Provenance: The James Baird Collection. Bluett and Sons London 1926. George de Menasce Collection. Spink and Son Ltd London 1975. An Important Private Collection of Chinese and other East Asian Art. Exhibited: Oriental Ceramic Society Exhibition 1952. Mostra d'Arte Cinese Venezia 1954. This bowl is a rare and superb example of the 'oil-spot' technique developed by Northern Song potters, where tiny metallic particles added to the glaze settle near the surface during firing to produce a variety of stunning yet subtle effects reminiscent of the iridescent patches found on the surface of oil. The term 'oil-spot' actually derives from Japanese connoisseurship, where such glazes have been highly prized since at least the first half of the 15th century, being referred to as yuteki temmoku (oil-spot temmoku). Northern Song potters probably first experimented with the technique to imitate and compete with their Southern Song counterparts. Within the oil-spot group there exists a variety of effects, which can be classified according to the arrangement, shape and size of the spots. The present lot has numerous small spots which might be best described as resembling snowflakes because of their shape and individuality. This revelation of great beauty upon close inspection summarises so much that is noble in connoisseurship of Song Dynasty ceramics. The provenance of this bowl is also of great interest. It was sold by Bluetts in 1926 as part of the James Baird Collection (see illustration) to Baron George de Menasce for £200. A commentary about the exhibition from The Morning Post on May 25th 1926 mentions the bowl and shows how highly regarded it was at the time: "... a small tea bowl of greyish stoneware, with a black "oil spot" glaze of high quality, probably from Honan, is an outstanding piece of this type of ware." Examples of Northern Song oil-spot bowls can be found in major collections. For a comparable pair of slightly deeper bowls with larger spots from the Arthur M Sackler Museum see 'Hare's Fur, Tortoiseshell, and Partridge Feathers' by Robert Mowry et al, 1996, no. 44, pp. 150-152. A slightly smaller example appeared at Sotheby's Hong Kong on 5th April 2015, lot 2888.
A CHINESE WARRING STATES STYLE SILVER AND GOLD INLAID TIGER, the roaring feline crouching low with a forward motion and head raised, the body covered with gold and silver stylised designs terminating in spiral motifs, two scrolls extending from the front elbows curl backwards to form a handle on the back of the animal, the long tail curled at the end, 34cm long. The function of this unusually large and impressive sculpture is unclear. It may have been intended as a handle or support for a large vessel. This possibility is supported by the presence of a hole which has been filled close to the aperture on the underside of the creature's stomach and also by the scrolls extending from the feline's elbows, which form a kind of ring on its back. Examples of gold and silver inlaid sculpture of this size are rare. For a large garment hook see 'Das Alte China von den Anfangen zur Tang Dynastie' by Maurizio Scarpair, 2008, pp. 140-141. A similar-sized garment hook was also sold by Bonhams New York on 16th March 2015, lot 2008. Also, a very large screen stand modelled as a tiger devouring a deer, is illustrated in 'The Arts of China to AD 900' by William Watson, 1994, pl. 91 pg. 48.
AN UNUSUAL BAMBOO SEAL, probably Chinese, in the form of a tiger and cub on an oval base, the adult animal roaring and turning backwards, one side of the base with a Chinese poetic inscription, signed Boshang Xianren , late Ming - early Qing Dynasty, 8.5cm high This unusual and rare bamboo seal is likely to be of Chinese origin given that the seal face and poetic inscription are both Chinese. However the carving of the tiger is stylistically closer to Japanese work. It is possible that the seal may have been commissioned for a Japanese literati figure who was immersed in Chinese culture. Provenance: An Important Private Collection of Chinese and other East Asian Art.

'The first printed edition using movable type was commissioned by Richard Johnson of the East India Company [...] In a letter to Johnson prior to its publication, Sir William Jones, the famous orientalist and translator of Hafez, had complimented Johnson on taking up the task: "An impression of your Hafiz will, indeed, be a valuable acquisition to the publick; and I hope some years hence to offer up a copy of it on the tomb of the divine poet near the crystal stream of Rucnabad"' (Enc. Iranica Vol. XI, Fasc. 5, pp. 479-483). Only 7 institutional copies have been traced: BL, Cambridge, Bodleian, Edinburgh, Marburg, Princeton and Chapel Hill.
