A REPOUSSé SILVER AND SERPENTINE BUTTER TEA SET
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Tibet, the silver cup stand and cover 19th century, the serpentine cup 20th century. The cup stand finely chased and incised to the foliate saucer with auspicious symbols and a band of key-fret, the foot with a more cursive meander. The cover similarly decorated with bands of key-fret, waves, and floral diaper around the rim, below lotus scroll encircling the dome surmounted by a lotus finial.

The cup well carved with deep rounded sides supported on a short foot and rising to an everted rim, the semi-transparent stone of a pale green color with russet and cream inclusions and dark specks.

Provenance: Galerie Hardt (established in 1976), Radevormwald, Germany, before 2020. Acquired by the gallery’s founder Peter Hardt (b. 1946) during his extensive travels in Asia, the first of which occurred during a formative world tour in 1973. Throughout his storied career, Peter Kienzle-Hardt organized countless exhibitions and participated in major international art fairs. He made many important contacts during this time and eventually met the Kienzle siblings, who shared his passion for Asian art and culture. A strong bond and deep friendship developed, ultimately leading to the creation of the Museum für Asiatische Kunst decades later in 2014. While the museum’s permanent exhibition predominantly comprised pieces from the Kienzle Family Collection, Peter Kienzle-Hardt supplemented it with objects from his own collection. Before his death in 2019, Horst Kienzle bequeathed his entire property to Peter and legally adopted him as his son, who has been using the name Peter Kienzle-Hardt ever since.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and manufacturing irregularities, the silver with little tarnish and expected light dents, the stone with natural fissures and inclusions.

Weight: 260 g (total), 60 g (the jade bowl), 600 g (the silver stand and cover)
Dimensions: Height 15.4 cm (total), Diameter 10 cm (Jade cup), 12.1 cm (Saucer)
