拍品描述
China, 618-1125. Finely modeled with an ovoid body supported on a short tapered foot and surmounted by a long slender neck with horizontal ribs and terminating in a blossom-shaped mouth with neatly incised petals. The body richly engraved with a pair of majestic phoenixes with long trailing tails, surrounded scrolling vines issuing lotus, peonies, chrysanthemums, and other auspicious flowers, framed above and below by borders of petals and interlocking S-scroll.Provenance: The private collection of a Scandinavian businessman and thence by descent. Bukowskis, Stockholm, 15 June 2012, lot 1845, dated as 17th-18th century. A noted English private collection, acquired from the above, and thence by descent. Condition: Good and entirely original condition, with expected age-related wear and manufacturing irregularities. A few minor dents, dings, and minuscule nicks, along with light surface scratches. Microscopic remnants of soil encrustation, slightly more concentrated on the interior. Overall with a fine, naturally developed patina.Metallurgy: Analysis confirms a high gold content ranging from 22 to 24 carats, consistent with the purity levels found in Tang and Liao dynasty goldwork. Such high-purity alloys were typically reserved for elite or ceremonial use, reflecting the technical sophistication and material wealth of the period. This is consistent with other excavated examples from aristocratic tombs and temple hoards.Weight: 121.6 g Dimensions: Height 15.6 cmThe shape of the present bottle was popular during the Tang, Liao, and Song dynasties and was produced in a variety of materials. For example, see a bronze vase dated to the Tang dynasty and a white glazed porcelain vase dated to the Song dynasty, both in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, inventory numbers 故銅002401N000000000 and 故瓷018167N000000000, and a glass vase dated to the Tang dynasty in the Shaanxi History Museum.Literature comparison:Compare a near identical gold vase with phoenixes as well as a gold urn with a closely related decoration of interlocking S-shapes and lappets framing birds and florals, both dated to the Liao dynasty, in the Shanghai Museum.Auction result comparison:Type: Near identicalAuction: Koller, Zurich, 26 November 2024, lot 142Price: CHF 150,000 or approx. EUR 162,000 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing: A rare gold vase, China, Tang dynastyExpert remark: Compare the form, decoration, motifs, and size (16.5 cm).
