Description

A JUNYAO POTTERY FIGURE IN THE FORM OF A FROG, YUAN TO EARLY MING DYNASTY

Published: Koos de Jong, Small China: Early Chinese Miniatures, 2021, p. 112, fig. 86.

China, 1279–1644. This unusual miniature is modeled as a compact crouching frog with rounded limbs, wide-set eyes, and pierced mouth, with a handle on its back. Covered overall in a sky-blue glaze with a large, mottled lavender splash to the top and continuing over one side, thinning to mushroom at the exposed areas, and stopping irregularly above the foot, revealing the reddish buff ware.

Provenance: V. Li, Casey Building, Hong Kong, 2014. Collection of Dr. Koos de Jong, acquired from the above. A Dutch art historian and collector, Dr. Koos de Jong has worked across several cultural institutions in the Netherlands from 1976, serving as the director of the European Ceramic Work Center in Den Bosch between 1999-2009, before retiring in 2009. He has authored hundreds of articles and several books on Dutch fine and decorative arts from the Middle Ages to the modern era. His scholarly interests expanded to Chinese material culture, culminating in the 2013 publication of Dragon & Horse: Saddle Rugs and Other Horse Tack from China and Beyond, a pioneering study on Chinese equestrian gear. Continuing this line of inquiry, his more recent book published in 2021, Small China: Early Chinese Miniatures, explores the largely overlooked world of Chinese miniature objects, combining archaeological research with art historical insight.
Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear and firing irregularities.
