- Monumental Pair of Chinese Sancai Glazed Pottery Figures of Guan Yin and LionLocated in New York, NYA Monumental pair of Chinese Sancai Glazed pottery figures / sculptures of Guan Yin and Lion on Wood Bases Chinese sancai glazed figures of Guan Yin and lion are a type of ceramic artwork that originated in China during the Tang dynasty (618-907 AD). "Sancai" means "three colors" in Chinese, and refers to the use of three distinct colors of glaze (usually green, yellow, and white) in the creation of these figures. Guan Yin is a Chinese bodhisattva associated with compassion and mercy, and is often depicted holding a vase of healing elixir or a willow branch. The lion, on the other hand, is a symbol of power and strength, and is often used as a guardian figure in Chinese mythology. The combination of Guan Yin and lion in a single artwork is significant, as it represents the union of mercy and power, a common theme in Buddhist and Taoist philosophy. Sancai glazed figures of Guan Yin and lion are highly valued by collectors and art enthusiasts due to their intricate design and rich history. They are often displayed in museums and galleries around the world, and are considered important cultural artifacts...Category

- Rare Meissen Marcolini Porcelain Chinoiserie Incense Burner Vase and CoverBy Meissen PorcelainLocated in New York, NYA rare Meissen Marcolini Porcelain Chinoiserie incense burner vase and cover, made for the Chinese market, circa 1800, blue cross swords and star mark, Pressnummer 58 A Museum Quality Piece. Painted in the sought after famille rose palette with sprigs of indianische Blumen and enriched in gilding, the simulated pierced body supported by four feet painted with stylized dragons, the pierced cover with a Buddhist lion finial. 10" high x 6" wide x 6" deep The shape of this piece, which appears to be unrecorded in the literature, is inspired by similar Chinese porcelain censers from the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi Period (1654-1722). An example in the Palace Museum, Beijing, is illustrated by Li Yi-hua in Qing Porcelain of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong Periods from the Palace Museum Collection, Hong Kong, 1989, pl. 65. Another in the British Museum, London (museum no. PDF, A.812) is catalogued as a perfume-holder. These porcelain examples are in turn inspired by ancient Chinese bronzes from both the Shang (1600-1046 BC) and the Zhou (1046-246 BCE) dynasties, an example of which was sold anonymously by Christie's New York, 22 March 2019, lot 1601. This chain of inspiration tracking backwards from the 19th century to antiquity provides a clear example of how ceramics, and indeed other mediums, are able to influence and motivate the works of later generations.
