A SANCAI GLAZED POTTERY ‘LION’ PILLOW, LIAO TO JIN DYNASTY

Scientific Analysis Report: A thermoluminescence report issued by Oxford Authentication on 29 January 2024, based on sample no. C124a92, sets the firing date of three samples taken at 900-1500 years ago and is consistent with the dating of this lot. A signed copy of the report accompanies this lot.

China, 907-1125. The pillow is hollow-molded below the amber-glazed ruyi-form top with a recumbent lion with snarling expression and bushy tail picked out in amber, green, cream and brown glaze. The mighty feline with its head turned to the right and resting upon the front paws, the fanning and curled tail wrapped around the right haunch. The underside partly unglazed and incised with a four-character inscription.

Inscriptions: To the base, ‘Zhang Jia Zhen Zi’.

Provenance: From the private collection of Alan and Simone Hartman, New York. The base with an old label printed ‘A & S Hartman Collection’ and inscribed ‘CP 127 Liao.’ Alan Hartman (1930-2023) was an influential American art dealer, who took over his parents’ antique business in Manhattan and established the legendary Rare Art Gallery on Madison Avenue, with further locations in Dallas and Palm Beach. His wife Simone (née Horowitz) already served as assistant manager of the New York gallery before the couple married in 1975, and together they built a renowned collection for over half a century and became noted art patrons, enriching the collections of important museums including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (which opened the Alan and Simone Hartman Galleries in 2013) as well as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Brooklyn Museum in New York. Alan Hartman has been described as the greatest antiques dealer of our generation, and was widely recognized as a world authority in Chinese jade, bronzes, and Asian works of art.
Condition: Good condition with minor wear, small touchups to the tail and upper rim of the pillow, minor glaze flaking, surface wear, firing flaws, drilled holes from sample-taking.
