The Priceless Ming Jar Used as an Umbrella Stand | Christie’s
This magnificent and very rare large blue and white ‘Dragon’ jar was once used as an umbrella stand.
After a team of Christie's specialists looked at the jar, they realised they were handling an incredibly important piece of Chinese porcelain from the Ming Dynasty.
In this video, Chi Fan Tsang, a specialist in Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art, discusses the details that make this piece so special, including the significance of the five-clawed dragon, and the cross mark on the base of the vessel.
The dragon jar sold in 2016 for HK$158,040,000 / $20,447,642 as part of the '30 Years: The Sale' auction on 30 May in Hong Kong.

DESCRIPTION
Set against the backdrop of the beautiful Southwest, learn more about the master potters and people of 1000 years ago. In this presentation Jaclyn discusses how archaeologists learn about prehistoric peoples of the American Southwest through the study of ceramic artifacts. Using something physical like pottery, archaeologists study nonmaterial elements of the past, elements including social connections, migrations, power, and ritual.
BIO
Jaclyn Eckersley holds an MA in Archaeology from Brigham Young University, where she studied prehistoric ceramics from the American Southwest (Southeastern Utah). Between field work in the Utah desert and analyzing prehistoric pottery, she took as many ceramics classes as possible. She joined the Clay Art Center as the Development Assistant after graduating and working as an archaeologist in the Midwest.
