Details
A Junyao globular jarlet
Yuan dynasty
The globular sides surmounted by a short wide cylindrical neck applied with a pair of small lug handles, covered in a thick milky pale blue crackled glaze and speckled with dark inclusions and two faint violet purple splashes, the glaze stopping well above the orange-burnt base
10.8 cm. high, 8.8 cm. diam.
Provenance
With Richard Bennett Collection paper label.
With Georges Eumorfopoulos Collection paper label. The original label must have been erroneously switched with the Junyao stand in this collection (lot 482), as the latter bears the number C64. This number corresponds with this same jarlet in the Eumorfoupolos catalogue and not the stand. Purchased by the grandfather of the present owner from Bluett, London in April 1935.
Literature
