Full guarantee of authenticity with TL Report. COMPREHENSIVE TECHNICAL REPORT ON EXPERTISE AND PRECEDENTS.
Identification and Description of the Object. Typology: Ceramic vase or flower vessel of archaistic inspiration (arrow vase / touhu / hu-type arrow vase). Dimensions: Height of 25 cm. Globular body with horizontal annular relief bands or striations segmenting the design, imitating the forms of ancient ritual bronze vessels.Constricted neck flaring outward at the mouth ("trumpet"). Tubular handles: A pair of tube-shaped handles arranged symmetrically on the middle section of the neck (at the transition between the neck and the body).
Glaze and Surface: Celadon green ceramic glaze with a uniform crazing (crackle) pattern covering the entire piece. Base: Circular annular foot with a rough support surface (characteristic of traditional firing) and an interior bottom coated with celadon glaze. Summary of Analytical and Scientific Precedents.
Issuing Laboratory: Laboratorio Kotalla (Germany). Report Number: 02R090521 (issued on 10.05.2021). Laboratory Cultural Attribution: Song period.Precedent Implication: The physical-molecular analysis of the ceramic paste certifies that the body of the object was fired approximately one millennium ago, absolutely ruling out any modern laboratory fraud or replica. The design of the piece fits within the traditional high-period Chinese pottery tradition, specifically linked to the Longquan kilns and archaistic bronze emulation productions (archaeistic wares).
Structure: The use of intermediate tubular handles and horizontal annular bands responds to the aesthetic canons of emulating ancient ritual bronzes, reinterpreted during the Song, Jin, and Yuan dynasties. Museum Parallels: Institutions such as The Palace Museum (Beijing) and reference historical collections (such as the Carl Kempe collection in Sweden) preserve homologous pieces with cracked celadon glazes and annular structures intended for imperial antiquity collecting.
Lot: Lot 297 (A Longquan Celadon-Glazed'Arrow' Vase, Yuan-Ming Dynasty). Christie's and Sotheby's (Hammer Price and Market Ranges). Examples of Longquan arrow vases from the Song and Yuan dynasties (with dimensions close to 24.3 cm, such as those documented in renowned collections like Sakamoto Goro's at Sotheby's) typically register market estimates and opening prices ranging between US20,000 and US30,000, which can reach higher values depending on provenance and direct demand from collectors specialized in Asian art.
