Good condition with just insignificant nicks to the rim, and other general surface wear.
If a condition report is provided to assist you with assessing the condition of the lot, it is for guidance purposes only. Such condition report may not refer to all faults, restoration, alterations, or adaptations because Sotheby's is not a professional conservator or restorer but rather a condition report is a statement of subjective, qualified opinion genuinely held by Sotheby's. For these reasons, any such condition report is not an alternative to taking your own professional advice regarding the condition of the lot. Prospective buyers should also refer to the Guide for Buyers at Auction which includes important notices concerning the type of property in this sale.

说明:The present clan mark, decoded losely in Chinese sources with the phrase Xi zi sun (析子孫), identifies the present vessel as belonging to one of the most powerful clans of the Late Shang dynasty, sometimes also called the Ju 舉. For further examples featuring the same clan mark, compare: a zun vessel of very closely related surface design, style and composition uncovered from the Shang capital of Anyang, now preserved in the Nezu Museum, Tokyo, illustrated in Sueji Umehara (1893-1983), Nihon shucho Shina kodo seika / Selected Relics of Ancient Chinese Bronzes from Collections in Japan, vol. II, Osaka, 1959-1964, pl. 122; and other vessels described by Noel Barnard and Cheung Kwong-Yue as featuring symbol B-3, "man holding up child"; see Rubbings and Hand Copies of Bronze Inscriptions in Chinese, Japanese, European, American, and Australasian Collections, Taipei, 1978.
Another gu of Xizisun mark, dedicated to a Father Yi was preserved in the collection of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1736-1795) and included in the Xiqing gujian [Catalogue of Xiqing antiques, 1749–1755], juan 23, p. 21; alongside a lei jar of the same clan mark, ibid., juan 12, p. 4.
