Ming yuhuchunping bottle vase with simple dragon chasing a flaming pearl and waves motif from Fujian kiln. The mouth rim had an older and not very good restoration job done to hide a few chips, so I opted to scrape the paint off and had a silver rim added, which was to good effect. There are several stress fractures running off the footrim onto the body and one chip in the footrim itself patched with plaster. 14.5cm/5.2in height and 10.5/4.2in diameter.

Old mask from East or Central Timor. The previous owner told me what well might be an apocryphal tale- that this was recovered from “secret hiding place” after a brush fire that was caused by a skirmish between Fretilin and the Indonesian Army during the 1970’s.

Fine small Ming bronze Buddhist devotee. This was part of larger altar table ensemble and looks to be cut away from a larger base. There are traces of red lacquer on the robes (please note that the red color is much more subdued in real life than the photos would indicate). The sculpture itself is in excellent condition and comes with a custom-made museum quality perspex stand. 7.8cm/3in actual height and 11cm/4.3in mounted on stand.
