AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Four miniature glazed funerary objects from the Ming period – (#5205)
Taking care of loved ones in the afterlife was and still is very important to the Chinese people. For thousands of years miniature copies of the things which were used in real life were interred with the dead. During the Ming dynasty (1368 - 1644), blue, green, brown and aubergine glazes were used to give pottery objects, also called tile-works, more appeal. The objects were acquired from antiques dealers in Hong Kong in the period 1989-1994 and were formerly part of the Lowlands-collection.
(1) Table screen
Miniature green and amber glazed pottery table screen. The back side is unglazed. The screen is in good condition. Height 9.9 cm. Width 10.3 cm. Depth 4.8 cm.
(2) Tripod with fish handles
Miniature model of a partly green glazed pottery incense burner on three feet. The handles are shaped like fish, symbols of abundance. There is little doubt that this object was modeled after a bronze original. It is in good condition. Height 7.2 cm. Diameter base 3.8 cm.
(3) Stool
Miniature glazed pottery stool. Its glazed part is aubergine colored while the top is cold-painted in black. Height 5.2 cm. Seat 4.4 cm square. Base 4.1 cm square.
(4) Water vessel
Miniature green glazed pottery model of a water vessel. Vessels such as this were filled with water to be used when there was a fire, which happened frequently because the houses were built of wood. In reality these vessels were quite large. Some bronze ones can still be seen in the Forbidden City in Beijing. Diameter rim 6.5 cm. Diameter base 4.5 cm. Height 7.2 cm.
