China, 1279-1368.

Erik Hancock was a collector of early wares dating from the Qing dynasty, snuff bottles, soapstons, jades, horn, among others. Many of which were sold in five posthumous sales at Sotheby’s, in October and December 1973 or were acquired by Dr. Edell.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Some wear and firing irregularities including pitting and glaze recesses, old repairs to the handles, rim, and neck.

Weight: 2.5 kg

This Junyao incense burner, with its thick luminous glaze and brilliant splashes, is a fine example of its type. Wares from the Juntai kiln site in Yu county, Henan province, an area formerly known as Junzhou, are remarkable for their luscious thick glazes of intense coloration which can vary from light to deep turquoise blue. In the early 12th century potters began applying splashes of deep purplish-red derived from copper to the glaze before firing, resulting in patches of purple, lavender and tones of deep blue on the primary milky-blue glaze. As seen on this piece, these splashes often had a strong calligraphic quality and added a flamboyant effect to the vessel that was of immense appeal to the literati and nobility of the time.

Expert’s note:
Junyao incense burners of this shape and with molded designs are generally attributed to the Yuan dynasty due to their similarities with a larger and more elaborately molded incense burner dated in accordance to 1309, excavated at Huhehot in Inner Mongolia, and illustrated in Sekai toji zenshu/ Ceramic Art of the World, vol. 13, Tokyo, 1981, col. pl. 103.

Literature comparison:
