@zhtail Thank you for your reply, my opinion on Han would have to rely on someone with experience, like Peter. 😎 It's only 15.00 to find out and goodness knows I've spent that to find out about way less than ancient, good luck on your quest.

@zhtail Quite a bargain, assuming that it is as described! And I would be very disappointed to find otherwise. I know that Peter thinks that Lark Mason is a very reputable seller, and I have always assumed the same.

@cashflowz 

My experience with iGavel is they are careful with provenance & authentication of their auction items.  For example, I got a great deal with a Ming Kraak ware dish that I recognized as authentic (so did Peter) that they sold to me without authenticating the item in the  auction description.  Their recent auction of this large collection of early Chinese ceramics had 99% of the item descriptions with a named dynasty and date ranges for each piece.  They had high confidence in the authenticity of the collection.

Last Wednesday, I drove down to New Braunfels to pick up the additional 10 items that I got at the final auction.  Attached are some photos.

IMG 0944

These are mostly green glazed food wares.  In the corner is a Warring States grey pottery cup with attached handles that is quite elegant in its construction.

IMG 0949
IMG 0948

These are four larger pots including the painted one dated Majiayao Culture, Machang Period, 2300-2000 BCE.  The largest one is Zhou Dynasty, 1046-256 BCE.  The un-painted pots in this grouping all have very intricate impressed designs on the surface that didn’t get clearly shown on auction photos.

IMG 0951

The last piece I got was an architectural piece that looks to be some type of reviewing stand that was photographed upside down in the auction so no one could figure out what it represented.  Lastly was a glazed pottery model of a water well that is shown in the first set of photos.

I agree, William. You won some very nice pieces. Mine are small, but were quite a bargain, and I am very pleased with them.

Carol

P.S. I am still envious of your oil on copper Cantonese Hong Trade Paintings!

William, I have enjoyed so many of your posts; it was a pleasure to meet you.

I won a number of smaller items. Four Chinese miniatures, Neolithic and later. I especially like the little red one. The white in the saucer dish is a paper tag, not a hole. Next, the two impressed jars, which are Warring States, the larger about eight inches wide. Then the three vessels described as Han and earlier, the biggest 8.5 inches, all three quite nice. The two painted pieces are Neolithic, ca. 3300-2000 BCE, one broken and restored. And lastly, the Han dynasty lug-handled jar, about ten inches wide.

Now my task is to get them arranged properly!

Best regards,

Carol

I remember looking closely at that lug handled jar and that small white or crème jar with the perforations in the body is very intriguing.  We are so lucky to be living in Texas and able to avoid shipping costs!

@william @cashflowz And you both got to see the Hill Country bluebonnets on your way there and way home. Congratulations on your purchases and on avoiding the stress of shipping.

@william Indeed, the sales tax is a small price to pay for avoiding the shipping cost. 

At first glance, I thought the little cream-colored jar might be a small lamp, but the perforations do not penetrate to the inside (except for one interior pinprick, which looks to be a mistake on the part of the maker).

The larger jar is also rather nice, as the lug handles are decorated, and it is in very good condition. Not high value, but a true bargain price for the three items.

Indeed, the lugs could be bear or dog handles which were rather typical of that time period.
