A GREEN-GLAZED POTTERY FLASK, LIAO DYNASTY A GREEN-GLAZED POTTERY FLASK, LIAO DYNASTY China, 907-1125. Of saddle shape with stiff, seamed edges, a short cylindrical neck, the top flap is notched and pierced with two hanging holes and applied with two small figures facing forward towards the spout, the body incised with floral motifs on each side, all under an intentionally crackled emerald-green glaze. Provenance: From the collection of André Dubreuil. André Dubreuil (1951-2022) was a French designer and craftsman. At the age of eighteen he moved to England to study drawing at the Inchbald School of Design, while exploring the London underground nightlife scene. After graduating, he started working for a decorating agency and designed flats with trompe l'oeil paintings. He learned the art of ironwork with Tom Dixon and Mark Brazier-Jones, and they quickly became the reference for 1980s English avant-garde design. As a collector, Dubreuil was particularly interested in metalwork, and his collection included a wide range of objects, such as 18th-century French candelabras, medieval ironwork, and contemporary metal sculptures. He was known for his eclectic taste and his ability to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of objects from different periods and cultures. His collection was a reflection of his passion for art, as well as his interest in history and cultural heritage. Condition: Fine condition, commensurate with age. Old wear as expected, the spout with a small old repair, some flaking and minor losses to glaze, and firing irregularities including scattered glaze recesses. The head of one figure lost. Weight: 1,447 g Dimensions: Height 27 cm Traditionally known as a pilgrim's flask, the shape of these containers derived from leather prototypes and has retained many features of the originals such as the seam and the hanging lug. It is quite rare to find two applied figures on the flask. Literature comparison: Compare an example in the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Charles B. Hoyt Collection, accession no. 50.1747. A flask and cover with very similar designs and also with two applied figures in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, is illustrated in Hai-wai Yi-chen Chinese Art in Overseas Collections Pottery and Porcelain (II), p. 88, no. 86; another flask with two figures on the rim but slightly different decoration on the body from the Chang Foundation, Taipei, is illustrated in Selected Chinese Ceramics from Han to Qing Dynasties, p. 78, col. pl. 20. An example with one figure is in the Fengtian Museum, illustrated in Koyama Fujio ed., Sekai Toji Zenshu, 1961, vol. 10, p. 244, fig. 148.
