A CHINESE HENAN BLACK-GLAZED DOUBLE GOURD VASE with grooved strap handles to the shoulder, 16cm high. Song-Jin Dynasty. Provenance: Dennis Alfred Barnham (1920-1981) and thence by descent. This appears in the Barnham stockbook as item 138, and was purchased from John Hewitt in February 1949 for 22. The celadon dish mentioned on p.61 of "Provenance", Roy Davids and Dominic Jellinek, the entry for Dennis Barham. Condition report: A photocopy of the page from the stockbook is available for viewing. Several chips to the rim. Both handles are intact but are misshapen. Old Barnham pasted brown paper label on base inscribed "Barnham" and 138. The general sand impurities in the glaze .
A FINE CHINESE PALE CELADON JADE GU VASE, Qing Dynasty, carved in archaic style with pointed leaf tips and panels enclosing taotie masks, 27.3cm high, on a carved and silver wire inlaid hardwood oval stand, 9cm wide x 4cm high. The exceptionally fine "eggshell" nature of the present vase may be compared to the so-called Mughal jades produced in the reign of Qianlong. The comparison also extends to the archaistic carved ornament and the soft polish associated with jades produced in the 18th century. Provenance: A noble European collection. Condition report: Good overall, but small crack (possibly natural), circa 1cm long. The stand: the upper section was formerly glued to the base and has come loose (but with no damage), there are dry cracks noticeable on the stand.
AN IMPRESSIVE PAIR OF CHINESE CLOISONNÉ ARCHAISTIC GU VASES, Qing Dynasty, the lead necks decorated with taotie masks mounted with phoenix handles, with mask and ring side handles, raised on four zoomorphic feet, 71cm high x 35.2cm wide Provenance: Private collection, Knightsbridge The distinctive figural feet on the present lot may be compared to those found on an incense vessel dating from the second half of the 17th century and illustrated in: "Chinese Cloisonne - The Pierre Uldry Collection", published London 1989, fig. 213. The equally distinctive phoenix handles may be compared to those on an hexagonal ceremonial vessel of hu type from the same collection, illustrated as fig. 230 (text reference 132). Condition report: Vase 1: Generally very good overall condition, one side panel on the main bulbous body as a series of stress cracks in a short 5-7cm area just below the widest point. Vase 2: Good overall - both have typical wear and tear commensurate with age. The metalwork is oxidising somewhat.
