Description

A BROWN GLAZED STONEWARE ‘BEAR’ LIME POT, ANGKOR PERIOD

Khmer Empire, presumably 12th-13th century. The pear-shaped body supported on a short foot and rising to a narrow, circular mouth, gently waisted at the shoulders to distinguish the head from the torso of the crouching animal. The legs subtly incised, with the four paws delicately suggested at the front. The body decorated with neatly incised linear motifs, also encircling the head. The face naturalistically rendered with bulging eyes, a prominent snout with pierced nostrils, and pointed ears held upright. The vessel covered overall with a now mostly eroded brown glaze and coated with yellow slip, applied later.

Provenance: Private collection of A. Hansen, Denmark. Mr. Hansen (b. 1955) is a retired Danish Supreme Court lawyer and lifelong collector with a deep passion for history and culture. His collecting journey began at the age of eight with stamps, encouraged by his father, and quickly developed into a serious pursuit. By 1982, his specialized collection of Greenland postal history earned international recognition. Following this success, Mr. Hansen turned his focus to fine art and antiquities, beginning with Danish art and later expanding into East and Southeast Asian artifacts after an inspiring Japanese exhibition in 1985. Over the following decades, his collection grew to include mostly ceramic artworks from Annam, Khmer, Burmese, and Thai origins, acquired through reputable collectors and auction houses.
Condition: Good condition with expected wear, small chips, nibbling, and typical firing irregularities. Traces of weathering and extensive glaze erosion, yellow slip appears to be a later addition.

Weight: 985.3 g
Dimensions: Height 21.8 cm
