PROVENANCE
A Japanese private collector, acquired in Hong Kong in 1998
Sold at Christie’s New York, 26 March 2003, lot 197

A number of sancai-glazed ovoid jars with similarly moulded
flowerhead medallions are found in a number of important
collections. Compare the jar in the Museum of Oriental Ceramics,
Osaka, which is registered as an Important Art Object, illustrated
in Mayuyama, Seventy Years, Vol. 1, Tokyo, 1976, no. 226
(fig. 1); and another jar in the collection of the Art Institute of
Chicago, illustrated by J. Mayuyama (ed.), Chinese Ceramics in the
West, Tokyo, 1960, p. 5, no. 5. Another comparable jar of similar
size but with the moulded medallions reserved on a green-glazed
background, is illustrated by Masahiko Sato and Gakuji Hasebe,
Sekai toji zenshu, Vol. 11, Tokyo, 1976, p. 48, no. 33.

The result of Oxford thermoluminescence test no. 666x55 (April
1994), is consistent with the dating of this lot.
