Chinese mingqi cauldron (ding) spirit or funerary green-glazed pottery vessel, likely Han dynasty. Consisting of a deep basin on three legs molded in the forms of bears. With a pair of luted S-curved upraised strap handles. The domed lid with two registers of low-relief molded animals, likely big cats and monkeys, with three bosses. The glazed interior and underside with iridescence. In the form of bronze vessels of similar style. Provenance: From the Estate of C. Curtis "Curt" Dunnavan, Long Lake, Minnesota; Private Minnesota Collection. C. Curtis "Curt" Dunnavan (1926-2022) was a passionate world traveler and avid collector. It was through his travels that he was inspired to begin a lifelong relationship with the Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia), becoming a major sponsor of the institute and facilitating the growth of their Asian art department, which is now one of the best in the country. His generous donations to Mia allowed them to establish a fund for the Deputy Director and Chief Operating Officer, one of the few endowed positions of this type in the museum field. He additionally served as a trustee of the institute, advocating for its operational growth. In its turn, the museum established a gallery named in his honor in recognition for his endowment fund and numerous contributions to their collection. The selections here showcase his talent and breadth of collecting, ranging from ancient statues to 19th-century woodblock prints. His appreciation for art persisted throughout his life and we are honored to offer items from his collection in this auction. Height: 6 1/2 in x width: 10 in x depth: 7 1/2 in.
