China, Guanghe county, Gansu province, Banshan to Machang phase. Finely potted, the globular jar tapering toward a flat base, surmounted by a short neck with a gently everted rim, flanked by two small loop handles. Boldly painted in black and burgundy slips to the shoulder with two serrated chevron bands interspersed with large dots, framed by double-wave borders at the waist and encircling the neck, the interior of the mouth with a similar wave band.Provenance: Christie's London, 7 June 1993, lot 9, mid-estimate GBP 4,500 or approx. EUR 11,500 (converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing). An important private collection in Germany, acquired from the above and thence by descent. A copy of Christie's condition report for the present lot, faxed to the previous owner on 2 June 1993, together with an old photocopy of the Christie's catalog entry, annotated in pencil with what is probably the purchase price, “DM 12,000” or approx. EUR 11,000 (converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing), accompanies this lot.Condition: Very good condition with ancient wear and firing irregularities. Expected minor losses to pigments, light surface scratches, a small shallow chip to the shoulder.Weight: 3,553 gDimensions: Height 38 cmGracious in its proportion and thoughtful in its composition, the present jar is not only an outstanding example of large painted pottery jars from the Banshan phase in Majiayao culture, but also an exquisite masterpiece combining geometry and abstractionism in the art of pottery. It is widely believed that such jars were intended to be viewed from the top, which probably explained why they are usually undecorated from the midpoint of the vessel as they would remain invisible to the eye.The Majiayao culture was a group of smaller neolithic communities who lived primarily in the upper Yellow River region of eastern Gansu, Qinghai, and northern Sichuan, China. The culture existed from c. 3300 to 2000 BC and marks the first time in history that the upper Yellow River region was widely occupied by agricultural settlements. It is famous for its painted pottery, which is regarded as a peak of pottery manufacturing at that time.Literature comparison: Compare a related Majiayao pottery jar, 41.2 cm high, in the Harvard Art Museums, object number 2006.170.42.Auction result comparison: Type: Related Auction: Sotheby's Hong Kong, 25 May 2022, lot 806 Price: HKD 277,200 or approx.
