Featured special Persian Qajar jar?

11" tall. This one went for $700 at a recent auction. On worthpt the most Ive seen is 300 but most in the 200 range. is there something about this one that is special?

 

Please provide a link to the auction where it sold so we can see how it was described.

 

The figural decoration would be the first thing that caught my attention. A lot of the comparable Qajar jars I’ve seen are mainly floral, so the combination of the blue foliage and the painted figure may have made this one more desirable.

It also looks like a fairly decorative example overall, and auction prices can jump quickly if the condition, size or provenance is better than the cheaper comparisons.

I wouldn’t assume $790 means there is some hidden rarity, though. Sometimes two bidders simply decide they both want the same piece. I’d be curious to see the auction catalog description and dimensions, since that might explain the premium.

 

where are you getting the $790 price ?

 

Where are you? SS said $700.
