China, 206 BC-220 AD. Finely hollowed, of cylindrical form, supported on three small feet shaped as recumbent bears with their heads gently turned. The sides carved with a circular loop handle with a small, pointed notch, and a taotie mask carved in high relief, pierced with a small loop aperture. The exterior of the vessel finely incised with highly stylized coiling dragons, framed above by a continuous rope-twist band. The translucent stone of pale celadon tone, with prominent russet patches and icy-white inclusions.Provenance: The Collection of Sam and Myrna Myers, Paris, France. Acquired between circa 1965-2012.Condition: Very good condition with surface wear and natural age-related imperfections, such as small fissures and inclusions. Distinct traces of weathering and signs of usage. Few minuscule nicks and shallow surface scratches. Minor nibbling along the edges. The stone surface with small areas of soil encrustation.Weight: 248.9 gDimensions: Height 7.7 cm, Diameter 6.7 cmJade cups were widely used during the Han dynasty, owing to the belief that the inherent virtues of jade, above all its exceptional durability and resistance to decay, qualities closely associated with long life, could be absorbed by the liquid and subsequently transmitted to the drinker. Such vessels were especially employed in the collection of morning dew, itself regarded as possessing longevity-conferring properties. Contact with jade was believed to enhance and prolong its beneficial effects.The bear ranked among the most significant animals within Han cultural symbolism, representing power and physical strength. In Han visual culture, bears frequently appear as structural supports on the legs of vessels. The present example follows this convention, presenting the bear as a visual and symbolic expression of strength and the capacity to sustain substantial weight.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related jade 'dragon' cup, Western Han dynasty, 206 BC-24 AD, in the Shanghai Museum.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely related Auction: Christie's Hong Kong, 29 November 2024, lot 1070 Price: HKD 1,386,000 or approx. EUR 152,000 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing: A bronze-inset jade handled cup, early mid-Western Han dynasty, c. 206-87 BC Expert remark: Compare the related manner of carving and shape of the vessel, similarly decorated with bears on the legs. Note the slightly larger size (8.6 cm).
