Description

A RARE DARK BROWN GLAZED STONEWARE ZOOMORPHIC POURING VESSEL, ANGKOR PERIOD

Khmer Empire, 12th-13th century. Thickly potted, the compressed globular vessel supported on a flat base and modeled in the form of a highly unusual animal which could be identified as a warty toad or a tortoise. Its plump body sitting low to the ground, with limbs tucked closely around it, extending into a small tail and a whimsical head distinguished by bulging eyes and a wide-open mouth. A decorative band of raised dots encircles the body, echoed around the circular opening of the vessel. The entire surface covered in an opaque, dark brown glaze that stops unevenly above 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: Good condition, commensurate with age, with ancient wear and manufacturing irregularities, including fine craquelure, glaze erosion, firing cracks, and minor recess. Signs of weathering, sparse nicks, and minor fritting to the base.

Weight: 513.6 g
Dimensions: Length 17.2 cm
