拍品描述: Carved with numerous undercuttings with a continous landscape with rocks and trees of various sizes suggesting perspective depth and populated by Mandschu horse riders in front of a city wall on one side, and a group of Mandschu men on bridges building palisades. The handle in the shape of two tall pine branches growing over the rim into the inside. Signed to the flat base with two seals reading Zhishen and You Kan in sunken relief. Restorations to the rim, a few small chips and short cracks around the foot. Weight 433 g.The number of signed rhinoceros libation cups is relatively small. According to Jan Chapman, over 60 carvers are recorded. Among these is You Kan 尤侃 with pseudonym Zhisheng 直生, of whom 19 pieces are known. It is assumed that You worked in the imperial workshops, as one of his works is housed in the Palace Museum in Beijing. He could be identical with You Bei, who according to sources was appointed to the court by Emperor Kangxi. You Kan’s preferred method of signing was the combination of a round and a square seal, Zhisheng and You Kan respectively. His work is carefully polished and the amber colour of the material is complemented by darker sections. The cups display an extraordinarily wide range of motifs from archaic patterns to vivid depictions of birds. The figural subject on the present libation cup shows You Kan’s great compositional skill, giving the depiction a spatial depth. His refined carving technique becomes evident in the varying layers of undercutting.Height 14.3 cm; length 14.8 cmProvenancePrivate property, Hamburg, acquired from the art dealer Felix Roman Jagielski in 1972LiteratureCf. other works by You Kan published in Jan Chapman, The Art of Rhinoceros Horn Carving in China, London 1999, figs. 156, 296, 347This lot contains materials which require a CITES licence for export outside of the EU contract countries. We would like to inform you that such licenses are usually not granted. Exzellenter gro?er Nashornbecher. 17. Jh.Sign. mit zwei Siegel in Relief: Zhisheng und You KanHohe Form von ovalem Querschnitt umlaufend beschnitzt mit einer felsigen Landschaft, darin eine Reitergruppe vor einer Stadtmauer auf der einen Seite und M?nner beim Errichten einer Palisade auf der anderen Seite. Der Henkel wird gebildet durch die hohen St?mme zweier Kiefern. Rest. an der Mündung sowie zwei kleine chips. Gewicht 433 gDie Zahl der signierten Nashornbecher ist relativ gering. Nach Jan Chapman sind über 60 Namen verzeichnet. Unter diesen findet sich You Kan 尤侃 mit Pseudonym Zhisheng 直生, von dem - nach demselben Autor - 19 Stücke bekannt sind. Es wird vermutet, dass You in den kaiserlichen Werkst?tten t?tig war, da sich eine Arbeit von ihm im Palastmuseum in Beijing befindet und er identisch sein k?nnte mit dem Schnitzer You Bei, der den Quellen nach von Kaiser Kangxi an den Hof berufen wurden. You Kans bevorzugte Art zu signieren, war die Kombination eines runden und eines viereckigen Siegels, Zhisheng bzw. You Kan. Seine Arbeiten sind sorgf?ltig poliert und die Bernsteinfarbe des Materials wird durch dunklere Partien erg?nzt. Die Becher zeigen ein au?erordentlich breites Spektrum an Motiven von archaisierenden Mustern bis hin zu lebhaften Darstellungen von V?geln. Das figürliche Sujet auf dem vorliegenden Becher belegt You Kans gro?es kompositorisches Geschick, das der Darstellung hier eine r?umliche Tiefe verleiht, und eine raffinierte Schnitztechnik.H 14,3 cm; L 14,8 cmProvenienzPrivatbesitz, Hamburg, erworben 1972 bei dem Kunsth?ndler Felix Roman JagielskiLiteraturVgl. andere Arbeiten von You Kan, besprochen und abgebildet in Jan Chapman, The Art of Rhinoceros Horn Carving in China, London 1999, Abb. 156, 296, 347Dieses Objekt wurde unter Verwendung von Materialien hergestellt, für die beim Export in L?ndern au?erhalb der EU eine Genehmigung nach CITES erforderlich ist.

Conditions of Sale
1. The art auction house, Kunsthaus Lempertz (henceforth referred to as Lempertz), conducts public auctions in terms of § 383 paragraph 3 sentence 1 of the Civil Code as commissioning agent on behalf of the accounts of submitters, who remain anonymous. With regard to its auctioneering terms and conditions drawn up in other languages, the German version remains the official one.
2. The auctioneer reserves the right to divide or combine any catalogue lots or, if it has special reason to do so, to offer any lot for sale in an order different from that given in the catalogue or to withdraw any lot from the sale.
3. All lots put up for sale may be viewed and inspected prior to the auction. The catalogue specifications and related specifications appearing on the internet, which have both been compiled in good conscience, do not form part of the contractually agreed to conditions. These specifications have been derived from the status of the information available at the time of compiling the catalogue. They do not serve as a guarantee in legal terms and their purpose is purely in the information they provide. The same applies to any reports on an item's condition or any other information, either in oral or written form. Certificates or certifications from artists, their estates or experts relevant to each case only form a contractual part of the agreement if they are specifically mentioned in the catalogue text. The state of the item is generally not mentioned in the catalogue. Likewise missing specifications do not constitute an agreement on quality. All items are used goods.
4. In the event of variances from the catalogue descriptions, which result in negation or substantial diminution of value or suitability, and which are reported with due justification within one year after handover, Lempertz nevertheless undertakes to pursue its rights against the seller through the courts; in the event of a successful claim against the seller, Lempertz will reimburse the buyer only the total purchase price paid. German is the official language for the catalogue text. Over and above this, Lempertz undertakes to reimburse its commission within a given period of two years after the date of the sale if the object in question proves not to be authentic. Liability of Lempertz for faults or defects is otherwise excluded.

5. Claims for compensation as the result of a fault or defect in the object auctioned or damage to it or its loss, regardless of the legal grounds, or as the result of variances from the catalogue description or statements made elsewhere are excluded unless Lempertz acted with wilful intent or gross negligence; in other regards, point 4 applies.

6. Submission of bids. Bids in attendance: The floor bidder receives a bidding number on presentation of a photo ID. Lempertz reserves the right to grant entry to the auction. If the bidder is not known to Lempertz, registration must take place 24 hours before the auction is due to begin in writing on presentation of a current bank reference. Bids in absentia: Bids can also be submitted either in writing, telephonically or via the internet. The placing of bids in absentia must reach Lempertz 24 hours before the auction to ensure the proper processing thereof. The item must be mentioned in the bid placed, together with ticket number and item description. In the event of ambiguities, the listed ticket number becomes applicable. The placement of a bid must be signed by the applicant. The regulations regarding revocations and the right to return the goods in the case of long distance agreements (§ 312b - d of the Civil Code) do not apply. Telephonic bids: Establishing and maintaining a connection cannot be vouched for. In submitting a bid placement, the bidder declares that he agrees to the recording of the bidding process. Bids via the internet: They will only be accepted by Lempertz if the bidder registered himself on the internet website beforehand. Lempertz will treat such bids in the same way as bids in writing.

7. Carrying out the auction. The hammer will come down when no higher bids are submitted after three calls for a bid. In extenuating circumstances, the auctioneer reserves the right to bring down the hammer or he can refuse to accept a bid. If several individuals make the same bid at the same time, and after the third call, no higher bid ensues, then the ticket becomes the deciding factor. The auctioneer can retract his acceptance of the bid and auction the item once more if a higher bid that was submitted on time, was erroneously overlooked and immediately queried by the bidder, or if any doubts regarding its acceptance arise (§ 2 point 4 VerstVO). Bids are only played to an absolute maximum by Lempertz if this is deemed necessary to outbid another bid. The auctioneer can bid on behalf of the submitter up to the agreed limit, without revealing this and irrespective of whether other bids are submitted. Even if bids have been placed and the hammer has not come down, the auctioneer is only liable to the bidder in the event of premeditation or gross negligence.

8. Once a lot has been knocked down, the successful bidder is obliged to buy it. If a bid is accepted conditionally, the bidder is bound by its bid until four weeks after the auction unless it immediately withdraws from the conditionally accepted bid. From the fall of the hammer, possession and risk pass directly to the buyer, while ownership passes to the buyer only after full payment has been received.

9. A premium of 29 % (24% + 5% live bidding fee) calculated on the hammer price plus 19 % value added tax calculated on the surcharge only is levied (margin scheme). On the lots which are characterized by an *, the buyer shall pay a premium of 29% (24% +5% live bidding fee) on the hammer price; onto this (hammer price and premium) the statutory VAT of 19% for decorative art and photography will be added. (Regelbesteuerung = regular scheme). For original works of art and photographies whose author died after 31.12.1945, a charge of 1.9% on the hammer price will be levied fort he droit de suite. Invoices may be issued for buyers who are entitled to a Pre-Tax Deduction for art and decorative art for all lots according to the existing ?Regelbesteuerung? (regular scheme). These buyers must identify themselves when receiving their bidding paddle. Exports to third (i.e. non-EU) countries will be exempt from VAT, and so will be exports made by companies from other EU member states if they state their VAT identification number.

10. Successful bidders attending the auction in person shall forthwith upon the purchase pay to Lempertz the final price (hammer price plus premium and VAT) in Euro. Payments by foreign buyers who have bid in writing or by proxy shall also be due forthwith upon the purchase, but will not be deemed to have been delayed if received within ten days of the invoice date. Cheques cannot be accepted. The request for an alteration of an auction invoice to a person other than the bidder has to be made immediately after the auction. Lempertz however also reserves the right to refuse such a request if it is deemed appropriate.

11. In the case of payment default, Lempertz will charge interest on the outstanding amount at a rate of 1 % of the gross price per month or part month. If payment is made in a foreign currency, any exchange rate losses and bank charges will be borne by the buyer. If the buyer defaults in payment, Lempertz may at its discretion insist on performance of the purchase contract or, after allowing a period of grace, claim damages for non-performance. In the latter case, Lempertz may determine the amount of the damages by putting the lot or lots up for auction again, in which case the defaulting buyer will bear the amount of any reduction in the proceeds compared with the earlier auction, plus the cost of resale, including the premium.

12. Buyers must take charge of their purchases immediately after the auction. Once a lot has been sold, the auctioneer is liable only for wilful intent or gross negligence. Lots will not, however, be surrendered to buyers until full payment has been received. Without exception, shipment will be at the expense and risk of the buyer. Purchases which are not collected within four weeks after the auction may be stored and insured by Lempertz on behalf of the buyer and at its expense in the premises of a freight agent. If Lempertz stores such items itself, it will charge 1 % of the hammer price for insurance and storage costs.

13. As far as this can be agreed, the place of performance and jurisdiction is Cologne. German law applies; the provisions of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, CISG are not applicable. Should any provision herein be wholly or partially ineffective, this will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
