拍品描述
A LARGE AND IMPORTANT POTTERY JAR, NEOLITHIC PERIOD, MAJIAYAO CULTURE, LATE 3RD MILLENNIUM BCChina, Banshan type. 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.The shoulders boldly painted in black and burgundy slip, with a band of cross-hatched, egg-shaped panels, interspersed with wave-like linear motifs, and overlapped by a series of thick horizontal bands encircling the vessel. The neck adorned with a distinctive upright triangular frieze, framed by additional plain bands of varying thickness and color.Provenance: Sotheby's London, 10 December 1985, lot 62 (mid-estimate GBP 10,000 or approx. EUR 37,500 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing). An important private collection in Germany, acquired from the above and thence by descent.Condition: Very good condition with expected old wear and firing irregularities. Distinct traces of weathering and signs of prolonged burial, consistent with age. Typical rubbing to pigments. Sparse minor nicks, light surface scratches, and occasional minuscule chips. Possibly with minor old touchups. Overall with a beautiful, naturally grown patina.Weight: 3,772 gDimensions: Height 39.7 cmThe most distinctive product of the Majiayao culture (3800-2000 BC) was a type of painted pottery of extraordinary refinement which has become associated with the Neolithic grave sites at Banshan in Gansu province. This jar, like others shown here, was fashioned without the use of a potter's wheel by coiling rolls of clay into the desired shape, after which it was smoothed, burnished, painted and fired at a temperature around 1000 degrees F. Because most Majiayao pottery was a less refined, more utilitarian ware, and since elaborate jars such as this were usually buried with the deceased, it is probably that they held food for the afterlife and the designs may have held religious significance for the ancient Chinese.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related Majiayao pottery jar dated to the late 3rd millennium BC, 32 cm high, in the National Museum of History, Taiwan, collection number 85-00296.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Christie's New York, 21 March 2019, lot 1218 Price: USD 27,500 or approx.
