拍品描述
A PALE CELADON AND RUSSET FIGURE OF A BIXIE, YUAN TO MING DYNASTYChina, 1279-1644. The winged beast is boldly carved, its head well defined with bulging eyes beneath pronounced eyebrows and a curved horn swept backward, a wide nose, and sharp fangs. The body is detailed with a ridged spine terminating in a coiled tail. The stone is of a pale celadon color with russet veining and cloudy white inclusions.Provenance: From the Thornton Family Collection of Jades, Montreal, Canada, acquired in the local trade between the 1960s and 1990s. Theodosia Dawes Bond Thornton (1915-2009) assembled one of Canada's most significant private art collections, featuring works by prominent Canadian modern painters such as Lawren Harris and A.Y. Jackson, alongside an exceptional group of Chinese jades and snuff bottles. Her passion for Chinese art was sparked in the 1920s when her grandmother Rachel Dawes Bond took the family on a tour of China and began collecting scholar's objects. Many of these pieces were later passed down to Theodosia, who expanded the collection through acquisitions from Montreal's esteemed Gurie Gallery. Her close friendship with gallery owner Alex Gurevich deepened her appreciation for Chinese jades. Like her grandmother, she favored small, tactile pieces meant for contemplation and handling. In the 1990s, her daughter Joan continued the tradition, expanding the collection with larger jade carvings sourced from emerging dealers in Montreal and New York after the closure of Gurie Gallery. Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and little nibbling. The stone with natural fissures, some of which may have developed into thin hairline cracks.Weight: 268.1 g Dimensions: Length 9 cmAuction result comparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie's Hong Kong, 29 November 2022, lot 3041Price: HKD 126,000 or approx.
