Four East Asian pottery items
19th century and later
The seto plate with labels affixed verso labels: P.L. 39 / U of M / 139 / 104; the lidded jar with maker's cipher stamped to one side
Comprising a Japanese seto stoneware ishi zaka plate depicting a mountain and two trees with a craquelure glaze (2.125" H x 11.125" Dia.), a Chinese gunpowder jar with grey celadon craquelure drip glaze (7.375" H x 5.75" Dia.), a tall lidded jar/crock (11.25" H x 6" Dia.), and a green drip glazed hexagonal jar, each side bearing low relief floral motif (6.25" H x 6.25" W x 5.985" D), 4 pieces

Provenance: The Collection of Walter and Nesta Spink, Ann Arbor, MI, by 2000, with the seto plate gifted to Nesta Spink by family friend Carol Plumer, Ann Arbor, MI, accompanied by an undated Christmas card inscribed "Dear Nesta - a pot for a potter / Much love from your admiring / Carol / I believe this to be Eighteenth / Century Seto ware"

Other Notes: This lot includes a copy of the inscribed Christmas card mentioned above. During Nesta's earliest years after moving from Cambridge, MA with Walter and their children, she was a member of Ann Arbor's highly-regarded Potters [sic] Guild (founded 1949).
Condition Report: Each overall good condition with shelf wear, scattered minor scuffs, and inherent firing flaws commensurate with age. The lidded jar with cracks throughout the body and soiling. The plate with scattered older flaws and small chips to rim. Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction.
