Lot Essay

Two similar bottles sold in our Geneva Rooms, 10 November 1986, lot 146 one of which appears to form the pair to this bottle. The Johanneum mark N=291/W clearly contained a large number of pieces with celadon or turquoise grounds. The pair already mentioned, three square saki bottles, sold in these Rooms, 28 March and 17 October 1977, lots 38 and 64 respectively, an example at Lustheim, see Rainer Rückert, op. cit. no. 417 and a single bottle sold in these Rooms, 17 October 1977, lot 65 all bear this inventory mark
