THE CLAIRE & FRANCIS HERITAGE LANE COLLECTION
A RARE STRAW-GLAZED STONEWARE PERCUSSION BELL
EASTERN ZHOU DYNASTY
鴻踪里收藏
東周 陶鐘
h. 37.5 cm, 14? in.
The present pottery bell, carefully decorated with raised bosses and incised with a variety of patterns, closely resembles its bronze counterparts. In the Eastern Zhou period, similar bells were produced in sets to imitate the more expensive bronze musical instruments. However, relatively few examples have survived to the present day.A set of five Eastern Zhou dynasty straw-glazed bells of comparable size (h. 35-38 cm), formerly in the collection of T.T. Tsui and now in the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, is illustrated in The Tsui Museum of Art. Chinese Ceramics I: Neolithic to Liao, Hong Kong, 1993, pl. 9. Two similar glazed bells (h. 35.6 and 17.1 cm) are in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, no. 1988.20.8 [https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/44519] and no. 1997.442.1 [https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/39754]; the larger example is also included in Suzanne G. Valenstein, A Handbook of Chinese Ceramics, New York, 1989, p. 35, fig. 31.
