Some countries prohibit or restrict the purchase and/or import of Iranian-origin property. Bidders must familiarise themselves with any laws or shipping restrictions that apply to them before bidding on these lots. For example, the USA prohibits dealings in and import of Iranian-origin “works of conventional craftsmanship” (such as carpets, textiles, decorative objects, and scientific instruments) without an appropriate licence. Christie’s has a general OFAC licence which, subject to compliance with certain conditions, would enable a buyer to import this type of lot into the USA. If you intend to use Christie’s licence, please contact us for further information before you bid.

The shoulder of this elegant jar is decorated with flying cranes, a feature of Ming porcelain found in the decorative schemes from the Jianjing (1522-66) and Wanli (1573-1620) periods (Yolande Crowe, Persia and China: Safavid Blue and White Ceramics in the Victoria and Albert Museum, 1501-1738, Geneva, 2002, p.90). A jar of similar form with related decoration around the shoulder is in the Victoria & Albert Museum, London (inv.2439-1876), attributed there to the slightly later reigns of two Safavid rulers - Shah Abbas I (r.1587-1629) and Shah Safi I (r.1629-42). Other jars of similar form are published by Crowe, op.cit., pp.90-95, nos.89-105.
