CHINESE ARCHAIC BRONZE HU WINE VESSEL, H 13", DIA 8":Han style, having a flared neck above a globular body, flanked by circular rings with attached chain and double-headed dragon handle. Provenance: From the collection of Mrs. G. G. Scranton, the friend and patroness of Mrs. Dagny Carter, a notable scholar of Chinese culture and art, and author of three books on Chinese art and antiquities. The piece was purchased by Mrs. Scranton subsequent to its discovery by Mrs. Carter in 1931. The current owners' grandmother purchased all of Carter’s art/artifact collection to enable Mrs. Carter to leave China during the period of Japanese incursion (1937-1939) prior to WWII.
