- Lot Description
East Asia, China, Ming Dynasty, ca. 1368 to 1644 CE. Two charming glazed pottery figures from a Ming period tomb. First, a fish with an open mouth, nicely incised scales/fins atop a circular lid, glazed in sienna and green hues. Joining this piece is a tripod vessel with a rounded body, short slightly flared neck, and a pair of concentric circular appliques or handles to either side. Objects like these were sometimes created to accompany tomb figures known as mingqi - sometimes known as "spirit utensils" or "vessels for ghosts". They became popular in the Han Dynasty and would persist for several centuries. Almost any object used in daily life became tomb furnishings, believed to provide comfort as the soul journeyed into the afterlife. Size: vessel measures 2.5" in diameter x 3.125" H (6.4 cm x 7.9 cm); fish lid measures 4" W x 2.25" H (10.2 cm x 5.7 cm).
Provenance: private Hawaii collection, USA;ex-Splendors of the World, 2005; ex-Hong Kong collection between 1980 to 1990
