Description

A DARK BROWN GLAZED STONEWARE WATER DROPPER IN THE FORM OF A TOAD, ANGKOR PERIOD

Khmer Empire, 12th-13th century. Well potted, the rotund body of the crouching animal depicted with its legs tucked beneath. Its head raised upwards, distinguished by bulging eyes, a pronounced snout with pierced nostrils, and a broad mouth line with a small aperture. A similar perforation located on the posterior part of the figure beneath the subtle tail of the animal. Covered overall with an opaque dark brown glaze, stopping short of the base, revealing the underlying buff-colored ceramic.

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: Very good condition, commensurate with age, with ancient wear and firing irregularities, including firing cracks and glaze recess. Traces of weathering, sparse nicks, light scratches, and some areas with soil encrustation.
