? A RARE GREEN-GLAZED POTTERY FLASK, LIAO DYNASTY

China, 907-1125. The flask in the form of leather water or wine skin, with stiff seamed edges. The sides incised with scrolling vines and the top flap notched and pierced for hanging and applied with three grimacing figures facing near the spout. Covered with a green glaze which darkens in the recesses and thins along the edges.

Provenance: The private collection of Jules Speelman, London, United Kingdom. Jules Speelman is a world-leading dealer and collector of East Asian art with 60 years of experience. In 1964 he joined his late father, Alfred, in the family business which already stretched back three generations to 19th century Holland and expanded into England around the turn of the century. Originally, A & J Speelman dealt with antiques, from European ceramics, silver, tapestries, and furniture to Chinese porcelain, and works of art. With his father, Jules gradually shifted the focus towards Asia and under Jules Speelman's skilled direction, A & J Speelman is now considered amongst the foremost dealers in Asian antiques, with a particular emphasis on figurative sculpture and works of art from the past 2000 years.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Old wear, small nicks, minor losses, encrustations, repairs, touchups, all as generally expected from authentic Liao dynasty excavations.

Weight: 1,848 g
Dimensions: Height 31.2 cm

Traditionally known as a pilgrim's flask, the shape of these containers derived from leather prototypes and has retained many features of the originals such as the seam and the hanging lug. It is very rare to find three applied figures on such a flask.
