A RARE BRONZE WINE JAR, HU, EASTERN HAN DYNASTY
Published: Rose Kerr et al., Chinese Antiquities from the Wou Kiuan Collection, page 67, no. 39.

China, 25-220 AD. The globular body supported on a short foot and rising to a stout cylindrical neck with galleried rim, finely cast with a broad leiwen band encircling the waist, applied with two taotie masks in high relief, each with a loop handle suspending a loose ring. The bronze with a superb, naturally grown, rich patina with malachite and cuprite encrustations.

Provenance: Sotheby’s London, 24 June 1958, lot 91 (dated to the Six Dynasties period). Dr. Wou Kiuan, acquired from the above. Wou Lien-Pai Museum, coll. no. H.4.2. A copy of the catalog entry for the present lot from Sotheby’s London, 24 June 1958, lot 91, noting the buyer “Wou” and a purchase price of forty-six British pounds, approximately two months’ salary at the time, accompanies this lot. Dr. Wou Kiuan (1910-1997) was a Chinese diplomat and noted scholar of Chinese art. His father, Wou Lien-Pai (1873-1944), was one the leading political figures of early 20th century China, remembered for his role as speaker and leader of parliament during the turbulent years of the Republican era. Dr. Wou himself embarked on an illustrious career in diplomacy until his retirement in 1952, when he settled in London and devoted the rest of his life to the study of Chinese art. It was no doubt fortuitous that Dr. Wou’s years of collecting coincided with an abundant availability of exceptional Chinese art on the London market. From the mid-1950s to the late 1960s he was able to form a collection of well over 1,000 works that together represented virtually every category of Chinese art. At the heart of Dr. Wou’s drive to collect was a burning desire to preserve the relics of China’s rich historical past scattered across Europe, and to promote Chinese art and culture. It is unclear when Dr. Wou conceived of the idea to create a place to house his collection, but in 1968 he opened the doors to the Wou Lien-Pai Museum, named in honor of his father. Over the years the Museum became a ‘must see’ destination for collectors, academics, and visiting dignitaries, and Dr. Wou would delight in leading his visitors through the galleries, recounting stories of China’s glorious history.
Condition:
Excellent condition, commensurate with age. Expected old wear, minor dents and losses, casting flaws, encrustations, signs of weathering and erosion, one loop handle with a small crack, all exactly as expected from a bronze that is 2,000 years old.

來源:倫敦蘇富比,1958年6月24日,lot 91 (當時斷代為六朝時期);吳權博士購於上述拍賣,吳蓮伯美術館,編號 H.4.2.。隨附一份蘇富比拍賣目錄複印件,上面寫著“Wou”,售價46英鎊。吳權(1910-1997)博士曾是一位中國外交家以及知名中國藝術收藏家。他的父親吳蓮伯 (1873-1944)先生曾是二十世紀初中國重要政治人物,因在民國動蕩歲月中擔任國會議員及議長而聞名。1952 年,吳博士在外交領域走上了輝煌之路,直到他退休後定居倫敦,並將餘生奉獻給了對中國藝術的研究。毫無疑問,吳權博士多年的收藏,與大量中國藝術珍品現身倫敦藝術市場上時間點相呼應,這無疑是幸運的。從 1950 年代中期到 1960 年代後期,他收集了 1,000 多件藏品,涵蓋了中國藝術的每一個門類。吳博士之所以收藏,其原因主要是爲保護散落歐洲各地的中國文物與推廣中國藝術與文化。尚不清楚吳博士何時想到創建一個美術館來歸置他的收藏的,但在 1968 年,他打開了以他父親的名字命名的 吳蓮伯美術館的大門。多年來,美術館已成為收藏家、學者和來訪政要的必經之地,而吳博士總是很樂意給參觀者介紹美術館,講述中國光輝歷史的故事。
品相:狀態極佳,磨損、輕微的凹痕和缺損、鑄造缺陷、結殼、風化和侵蝕的跡象,一活環帶有小裂紋。
