Lot 17 An attractive two-handled ‘amphora’ vase, Tang dynasty (618-907), the well-potted ovoid body applied with a pair of dragons arching over and descending to bite into the galleried rim on a short, waisted neck, each beast’s back applied with three buttons and a mane curling back from between a pair of spiked horns or ears, the compact white ware dipped in a finely crackled clear glaze running down to the widest part of the body, the foot with finely knife-pared edge, 27.8cm £2,000 - 3,000 Literature: A very similar but taller amphora (standing at 33.3cm), from the collection of Ronald W Longsdorf​, was exhibited by Jim Lally in his October 2015 exhibition in which he ascribes the piece to having been produced by the Xing or Gongxian kiln. The Longsdorf amphora was published by Liu, ‘A Survey of Chinese Ceramics’, Vol. 1, ‘Early Wares: Prehistoric to Tenth Century’, Taipei, 1991, p.224; Lally also compares this piece with other published pieces: Krahl, ‘Chinese Ceramics from the Meiyintang Collection’, Vol. 1, London, 1994, p.137, no. 224; in the Musée Guimet, Paris, illustrated by Paul-David, et. al., ‘The World’s Great Collections: Oriental Ceramics’, Vol. 7: Musée Guimet, Paris, Tokyo, 1975, no. 21; and in the Turner Collection, now in the Columbia Museum of Art, illustrated in ‘Eye to the East: The Turner Collection of Chinese Art’, Columbia, 2008, p. 31.​ This classic Tang Dynasty shape, in both white and sancai-glazed variants, is among that dynasty’s most elegant and admired forms, so much so that, one thousand years after the originals, the emperor-collector Yongzheng (r.1723-1735) commanded potters at Jingdezhen to create revivals of the earthenware forerunners in celadon-glazed porcelain. 唐 邢窑白瓷双龙盘口尊

Translations of inscription: Guoshu Lü said: ‘My great mighty glorious deceased father Huishu, served his master with a magnificent bright virtue and received countless benefit.

I looked up to my deceased father’s virtue as a role model and served the king, so the king has given me even more benefit. In order to repay and publicize the numerous benefits given by the king, I commissioned this set of bells in memorial of my deceased father, Huishu. When the bells ring, my glorious father in heaven would protect and bless the later generations on the earth and send much luck from the heaven to me. My later generations will treasure these bells as sacrifice to their ancestors for ten thousand years’. 清 铜铸编钟 虢叔旅曰：”丕显皇考惠叔穆穆秉元明德， 御于厥辟，得纯亡愍。旅敢肇师型皇考威仪， 口御于天子。乃天子多赐旅休。” 旅对天子鲁休扬，用作朕皇考惠叔大林和钟。 皇考严在上，翼在下。口口，降旅多福。 旅其万年子子孙孙永宝用享。

Lot 141 A Chinese bronze bodhisattva of Ksitigarbha, late Ming dynasty, his eyes looking down and with a calm facial expression, wearing an elaborate beaded headdress with a seated Buddha and lotus, in a kasaya tied to his left shoulder over an ankle-length robe, a pearl to represent wisdom in his left hand, standing on a double lotus platform with a dog by his feet, 80.5cm £4,000 - 6,000 Ksitigarbha, the Essence of the Earth, is one of the eight principal Mahayana students, or ‘heart sons’, of the Buddha Shakyamuni.

Ksitigarbha is known for his vow to take responsibility for the instruction of all beings in the six worlds between the death of Gautama Buddha and the rise of Maitreya, as well as his vow not to achieve Buddhahood until all hells are emptied. He is therefore often regarded as the bodhisattva who brings help and comfort to those in the underworld realm of hell beings. 明晚期 铜铸地藏王菩萨立像

THE MARY ANN FREDERICA HARRISON COLLECTION 265-292

Mary Ann Frederica Harrison was born in London on 13 April 1838, the seventh of eight children. After her marriage in 1876 to thriving tea merchant, Thomas Thomas, Mary went to live in Canton, China and gave birth to two children there. In the late 1800s, Mary and her husband returned permanently to London, where Thomas died in 1892.

Mary had a keen interest in painting, particularly using oils and pastels, and her artistic nature is evident in the attractive items from her collection now offered here for sale.

INFORMATION FOR BUYERS Introduction The following notes are intended to assist bidders and buyers, particularly those that are inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All of our auctions are governed by our Conditions of Business incorporating the Terms of Consignment (primarily applicable to sellers), the Terms of Sale (primarily applicable to bidders and buyers) and any notices that are displayed in our salerooms or announced by the auctioneer at the auction. Our Conditions of Business are available for inspection at our salerooms and the Terms of Sale are printed in the back of our auction catalogues. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything in our Conditions of Business that you do not fully understand.

Please make sure that you read our Terms of Sale set out in this catalogue or on our website carefully before bidding in the auction. If your bid is successful, you will be obliged to comply with our Terms of Sale.

Methods of Payment Lots must be paid for before they are collected. For those attending the auction we ask that lots are paid for on the day of the sale. Methods by which we accept payment are detailed on our web site, including online payment upon receipt of your invoice, and these should be paid by 5pm on the Friday following the sale. We accept cash to an upper limit of 15,000 euros equivalent. Usually any cheques will need to be cleared before you can take the goods away.

Payments by credit card are subject to a charge of 2% plus VAT. Collection and storage All lots should be paid for and collected by 5pm on the Friday following the sale. Commission bidders should check the success of their bids and arrange payment and collection within this time. Please note what the Terms of Sale say about collection and storage. Items not removed by 5pm on Friday may be removed at the purchaser’s expense and a storage charge of £1 per day may be charged.

Dispatch We are rarely able to pack and dispatch purchases. A choice of shippers is detailed on our web site.

Agency As auctioneers we usually act on behalf of the seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. If you buy at auction your contract for the goods is with the seller, not with us as auctioneer.

Estimates Estimates are designed to help you gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular lot. Estimates may change and should not be thought of as the sale price. The lower estimate may represent the reserve price (the minimum price for which a lot may be sold) and will not be below the reserve price. Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the auction and may be altered by a saleroom notice or announcement by the auctioneer before the auction of the lot. They are not definitive.

b. if there is a prohibition on importing goods of that character e.g. because the goods contain prohibited materials such as ivory.

Bidding Bidders will be required to register with us before the auction starts. We reserve the right to impose a deadline prior to the auction by which you must register or by which we must receive a commission bid. If you wish to bid on high value lots this deadline may be several days before the auction in order to allow us sufficient time to carry out the necessary checks. Lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. You will need to provide us with proof of your identity in a form acceptable to us and such other information as we may require. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone or online bidding. Please note that we may refuse to register you if you do not provide us with all the information and documentation that we ask for or at our discretion.

Commission bidding You may leave commission bids with us indicating the maximum amount to be bid against a lot (excluding the buyers’ premium and/or any applicable VAT). We will execute commission bids as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two buyers submit identical commission bids we may prefer the first bid received (where this can be reasonably ascertained). We recommend leaving commission bids online via our website, though please contact us about leaving bids by telephone or fax/email. All absentee bids should be received at least 30 minutes before the auction commences; we cannot guarantee to execute commission bids received after this time.

Telephone Bidding If you are unable to come to the auction it may be possible to bid on the telephone for higher value lots. Please note that this service is for lots with an estimate of £500 or more. The number of lines is limited so we would urge serious telephone bidding only and ask that you be prepared to bid over the top estimate. It is advisable to leave a maximum covering bid in case we are not able to contact you by telephone. All lines must be booked and confirmed in writing before the day of the auction and preferably some time in advance. Telephone bidding involves many variables and whilst we take every care to ensure the smooth operation of this service, we cannot be held liable if your bids are missed for any reason.

Online Bidding Any lots purchased via a live online bidding service will be subject to an additional commission charge on the hammer price payable by the bidder, in accordance with the rates specified by the online service. These charges are 3% plus VAT and will be payable to us on top of the Hammer Price and our buyers commission.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

Buyer’s Premium The Terms of Sale oblige you to pay a buyer’s premium at 22% on the hammer price of each lot purchased, except for our Fine Wine and Port auctions when it is 15%. In addition, VAT is charged on these premiums (see below).

Removal of lots ALL lots are to be removed from the premises by 5.00pm at the latest on the Friday following each sale. Sworders retain the right to remove lots remaining after this time into safe storage, for which a charge will be made.

VAT Items in our catalogue may be marked with a dagger † or double dagger ‡, which indicates that VAT is payable by the buyer on the hammer price and the buyer’s premium at either the standard rate (currently 20%) or a reduced rate (currently 5%), depending upon the legal requirements relating to that lot.

Electrical Goods All electrical goods offered in this sale have either been tested and certified safe or unsafe by an appropriately qualified electrician. All electrical goods certified safe mst be re-commissioned by an appropriately qualified electrician and we recommend those certified safe are similarly re-commissioned.

Lots which do not have either of the above symbols have no VAT payable on the hammer price.

This is because such lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme. The VAT included within the premium is not recoverable as input tax.

Inspection of goods by the buyer As we act on behalf of the seller, we are dependent on information provided by the seller about their goods. We may inspect lots and will act reasonably in taking a general view about them.

However, we are normally unable to carry out detailed examinations of lots to check their condition in the way a buyer would do. You will have ample opportunity to inspect the goods.

You must inspect and investigate lots that you might wish to bid for. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots set out in the Terms of Sale at clause 12.4.

Post 1950 Upholstered Furniture All items of furniture included in this sale are offered for sale as works of art. The items may not comply with the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) Safety Regulations 1988 and for this reason, they should not be used in a private dwelling.

Furniture made of Brazilian Rosewood (Dalbergia Negra) To comply with CITES Regulations on Post-1947 furniture made of Brazilian Rosewood, all post-war rosewood furniture items have Article 10 certificates.

Condition Reports We may be able to assist buyers unable to view by emailing a condition report, but these are based solely on our own opinion and are for guidance only and no responsibility is accepted for their accuracy. Intending buyers are strongly encouraged to view. Condition reports cannot be prepared on the day of the sale.

If you are purchasing rosewood furniture for commercial purposes and not solely for your own use, CITES regulations require you to obtain your own certificate.

You would need to contact the Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency (‘AHVLA’) and, as part of the process of obtaining your document, it is a requirement that you have seen sight of the Sworders’ certificate or are aware of its reference number.

Electrical goods These are sold as “antiques” only. If you buy electrical goods for use you must ask a qualified electrician to check them for compliance with safety regulations before you use them.

It is therefore the responsibility of commercial buyers to ensure that they obtain a copy of the appropriate certificate, or the certificate reference number, after purchase from Sworders Fine Art Auctioneers. Items are marked with this sign §.

Export of goods If you intend to export goods you must find out: a. whether an export licence is needed; and
