Description

A DARK GREEN STONE EYE-SHAPED MORTAR AND PESTLE
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

India, 18th to 19th century. The mortar of oval form with pointed ends serving as pouring spouts, supported on a gently curved base, deeply hollowed. Paired with a pestle of tapered cylindrical form. The mottled stone of emerald green hues with dark patches and inclusions. (2)

Provenance: Galerie Hardt (established in 1976), Radevormwald, Germany, before 2020. The mortar inscribed with a collector’s number, ‘36’. 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.
Labels: Galerie Hardt, inscribed ‘M?rser, L: 32, B: 16’ and ‘Reg. Nr. 51223’, and priced at EUR 2,750.
Condition: Very good condition with expected wear and traces of use, scattered minute nicks, shallow chips and nibbles to edges, and few small losses.
