1979 Honda CB400N Super Dream cafe racer, 396 cc. Registration number GNA 603V. Frame number CB400N 2000185. Engine number CB400NE 2000196. The Honda CB250N and CB400N Super Dream were produced from 1978 to 1986, they were the successor to the short lived Dream model. It had a series of revisions including a six-speed gearbox and what Honda termed as European styling which resembled the CB750F and CB900F. The Super Dream was fitted with a four stroke, air-cooled, twin-cylinder engine. It had three valves per cylinder, two inlet and one exhaust, operated by a chain-driven overhead camshaft. Ignition was provided by capacitor discharge ignition with a 360° crank layout similar to many traditional British parallel twins, but with two balance shafts to reduce unwanted vibrations. Fuelling was provided by twin Keihin carburettors. The CB400N was very similar to the 250N variant, however, it differed with its larger engine capacity, twin front brake discs and a halogen front head light. The front instrument had different markings for the rev counter and speed to reflect the lower maximum engine speed and higher top speed of the 400N. The CB400N had several revisions during its production run. The launch model CB400N (1979-1980), CB400NA (1980-1981), CB400NB (1981-1983), CB400NC (1982-1985) and CB400ND (1983-1986). GNA was first registered on the 18th September 1979 and by November 2013 it was with William Wilkinson of West Lothian by which time the mileage was 21,258 miles. Over the next two years he restored and converted it to a cafe racer with a CRK kit at the cost of some £1,150 and reset the speedo so when MOT'd in 2015 it had covered only 6 miles. One presumes a full engine refresh was undertaken during this period as there are several receipts from David Silver. Sold by these rooms in March 2020 our vendor bought it to hill climb but finds the pegs do not suit him so he has hardly used it. Sold with the V5C, MOT history from 2013, CRK instruction book and various receipts.

A STRAW GLAZED POTTERY AMPHORA, LONGBINGHU, TANGChina, 618-907. The body of baluster form rising from the flat base to a slightly concave neck and a cup-shaped mouth with an everted lip, with two strap handles on the shoulder terminating in dragon heads in the mouth, giving the appearance that the mythical beasts are drinking from the amphora.Provenance: French private collection. Japanese collector’s inscription to base.Condition: Fair condition with significant old wear, pitting, the glaze with some flakes, recesses, and signs of weathering and erosion, all absolutely consistent with age.Weight: 2,475 gDimensions: Height 38 cmCovered overall in a translucent and finely crackled glaze of pale yellowish tint stopping unevenly around the center of the body to reveal the buff ware.Vases of this elegant form, with full rounded shoulders and a pair of sweeping handles in the form of sinuous dragons, illustrate the international spirit of the Tang dynasty. Known in Chinese as longbinghu, “dragon-handled jars”, their form was inspired by silver and glass vases made in the Roman Empire and brought to China through the Silk Route. The Tang potters cleverly adapted Western forms to suit contemporary taste by modelling the handles in the form of dragons biting the vessel’s rim.Literature comparison: Examples of dragon-handled amphoras, both with white and amber-brown glazes, have been found in Gongyi city, Henan province, not far from the Gongyi kiln site, one of the foremost producers of Tang pottery. A reconstructed example, unearthed from a Tang dynasty tomb at Beiyaowan, near Gongyi, was included in the exhibition Ceramic Finds from Henan, University Museum and Art Gallery, Hong Kong, 1997, cat. no. 12. A similar amphora from the collection of Robert W. de Forest, now in the Newark Museum, was included in the exhibition Chinese Art from the Newark Museum, China Institute in America, New York, 1980, cat. no. 9.Auction result comparison: Compare with a related but slightly larger Tang amphora sold by Sotheby’s New York in A Noble Pursuit: Important Chinese And Korean Art from A Japanese Private Collection on 11 September 2019, lot 526, for USD 50,000.唐代白釉雙龍耳瓶中國，618-907。卷沿，盤口，細長頸，豐肩鼓腹，平底。雙龍耳高聳於口沿，垂至肩部。頸和肩部劃雙弦紋，精細絕倫。 來源：法國私人收藏Japanese collector’s inscription to base. 品相：狀況良好，有舊磨損。細微點蝕，釉面輕微開片、些許凹陷以及風化侵蝕痕跡。品相與年代絕對相符。 重量：2,475 克 尺寸：高 38 厘米 施白釉不到底，白釉稍泛青色，有極細的紋片。灰白胎。 拍賣結果比較：一件相近但更大些的唐代雙龍耳瓶售于紐約蘇富比A Noble Pursuit: Important Chinese And Korean Art from A Japanese Private Collection 拍場，2019年9月11日，lot 526, 售價 USD 50,000。
