Ceramic rabbot

Thailand, 20th century

A charming Thai ceramic rabbit, modelled in a traditional folk style and covered in a warm green-ochre glaze. Its freely painted dark decoration, including bold spirals and stylised markings, gives the piece a wonderfully expressive character. Thailand, 20th century.

A traditional Burmese kun-it, or betel box, dating from the late 19th or early 20th century. Built from lightweight bamboo and finished with successive layers of lacquer, the cylindrical box contains two removable trays originally used to hold the different ingredients required for preparing betel.

The exterior is finely decorated using the traditional yun technique, in which intricate designs are incised into the lacquer and filled with contrasting pigment. Figures appear amongst an exceptionally dense pattern of scrolling foliage, while the interiors are finished in characteristic deep red lacquer.

An object originally made for everyday ritual and hospitality, today it makes a particularly beautiful decorative box.

A charming pair of Chinese porcelain figures inspired by the Hehe Erxian (和合二仙), the Two Immortals of Harmony and Union.

Their expressive faces and wonderfully informal poses give this traditional auspicious subject a particularly joyful character.
