A RARE SANCAI-GLAZED POTTERY RHYTON, TANG DYNASTY

China, 618-907. Well potted, the sides exquisitely modeled in the form of a horned mythical beast head with bulging eyes and warty skin, the C-shaped handle issuing from its mouth baring sharp fangs, the vessel finely splashed with emerald-green, amber, and straw-colored glazes.

Provenance: From the private estate of a lady in Honolulu, Hawaii, United States, acquired by her father in Hong Kong, before the 1970s.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, traces of use, and firing irregularities including spur marks, firing cracks, and dark spots. Some flaking and few chips. Glaze touchups to the rim and the top of the dragon-head terminal. Some glaze oxidation.

Weight: 236.3 g
Dimensions: Length 13.2 cm

The rhyton is a drinking vessel originally made from ox or buffalo horn, which was introduced into China through Central and Western Asia, where it was made in silver and precious stones. Rhytons appeared in China from as early as the Han dynasty, and were made in a variety of materials, including pottery, glass and silver. While a number of surviving rhytons from the Tang period, such as the white-glazed example in the British Museum, London, illustrated in Margaret Medley, T’ang Pottery & Porcelain, London, 1981, pl. 4, were clearly modelled after Persian silver originals, the present example has incorporated Chinese elements, such as its dragon shape.
