About the Item

This fine old urn cast as an honorific nod to the ancient past of China was made circa 1600-1650. The shape or Hue was a common and well-represented form in the Han dynasty in pottery and bronze. This urn shows thin casting to the walls with incorporated toe tia or facial masks that once might have held loose rings. The body of the urn is cast with ringed banded segments and has a further decorative element of a pyramidal shaped raised pattern border at the beginning of the neck. An interesting note is that the urns bottom is cast with a decorative crossed lattice pattern that we have never seen before (see photo 6). The entire surface of the body has a very subtle old patina and surface which remains untouched and original. The work comes with an old Chinese rosewood base. This urn was collected over 40 years ago and has remained in that collection in Virginia until we recently purchased the entire colletion after many years of attempts. We will be presenting the entire collection over the next few months.

Chinese Arcaistic Style Cast Bronze Lidded Urn with Carved Jade Finial

Located in Hudson, NY

This very finely cast bronze urn in an archaistic form was made in the very late 19th century approximately 1895-1900. Done with an apocryphal feeling to honor the ancient past, the vase is beautifully rendered in low relief in bronze covering almost the entire body of the urn. The predominant features are the divided taotie masks that compose the swelling middle body of the vase and also at the corners of the upper section. Crisp but subtle, the casting is clearly handled with great attention to linear form. The patina is very nice and consists of a modeled golden brown with a slight but very lite Verdigris color. The urn has an old rosewood base and lid that seems to have been purpose made for the object. Finally, the whole is set off with a carved jade finial...
