Hu Shape Green-Glazed Vase, Han Dynasty(206 BC - 220 AD)

A 'Hu' is a type of large jar or pot that was commonly used in China for storage purposes, including holding liquids or dry goods like grains. This particular shape of pottery usually features a wide body and a narrow opening, and sometimes comes with a lid. The 'Hu' could also be more elongated with a slender neck, designed for easy pouring of liquids.

Longquan Celadon Figurine, Ming Dynasty (1368-1644)
Located in seoul, KR
This sculpture is a Longquan celadon from the Ming Dynasty, renowned for its rich and jade-like green glaze. The figurine is likely a representation of a Buddhist deity or a revered scholar, showcasing the calm aesthetic expressions and graceful contours prevalent during the era. The spectrum of celadon glaze ranges from a dense grey stoneware to a nearly white porcelain texture, with unglazed parts revealing a terracotta brown upon firing. Such pieces were often part of household altars, reflecting the era's spiritual devotion. This artifact would be a treasured exhibit in any museum's Asian art collection, symbolizing both religious reverence and artistic excellence.

Antique Indian Hand-Carved Limestone Temple God with Lotus Leaf Motif
Located in New York, NY
This sophisticated hand-carved Indian limestone sculpture was believed to have been executed during the 17th century. This kind of antiquity served as a spiritual guard to temples, and were typically situated at the entrance. The central deity dons a pointed hat and long beard. He holds a staff that extends from his chest to the floor and is surrounded by a wreath of lotus leaves. Typical of antiquities of this age, much of the detail has been softened over centuries, resulting in a sculpture that verges on abstraction resulting in an object that appears simultaneously modern and antiquarian. As a result, it is a timeless piece, as versatile as it is compelling. It would be a wonderful objet d'art in any style of interior from classical to contemporary. This is a particularly example of antique South East Asian art...
