One seal.Provenance: Belgian trade.Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, traces of use, and firing flaws, light scratches to the base.Weight: 436.5 g Dimensions: Width 29 cmThe Hankou Ganxin Company was an offshoot of the Jiangxi Porcelain Company based in Hankou, Hubei province, one of three towns along with Wuchang and Hanyang that were merged in 1949 to become Hubei’s new capital Wuhan. The Jiangxi Porcelain Company (or Jiangxi Ciye Gongsi) is the most well-known Chinese porcelain studio of the first half of the 20th century, located in Jingdezhen. It was established in 1910 as a large semi-government company funded by private owners and the five provinces of Hebei, Hubei, Jiangsu, Anhui, and Jiangxi. It is located near the Zhushan – the Pearl Hill – adjacent to the former Imperial porcelain workshops. It is often said that the Jiangxi Porcelain Company of the early 20th century replaced the Imperial kilns, making porcelains for the court in the last years of the Qing Dynasty.Qianjiang is a term used to describe a type of over-glaze enameled ware that was very popular during the late Qing dynasty and early Republican period. The term Qianjiang cai (enamels) or Qianjiang porcelain was only coined in the 1950s. Prior to that, annals or commentaries in the late Qing and Republican periods did not classify it as a new distinctive type of over-glaze enamel decorative technique on porcelain. The term was initially used to describe a distinct style of landscape painting by the Yuan master Huang Gongwang. It is typified by the use of a particular color scheme: varying ink tones for outlines and reddish-brown for other aspects such as foliage, flowing water, mountain shades etc. The term was subsequently used to describe a porcelain painting style that used similar techniques but with additional colors such as aquamarine, moss green, pale blue, red and light pink. The relationship between qianjiang and fencai painting has caused quite a bit of confusion. In terms of the decorating medium, qianjiang utilizes fencai enamels. The main difference is actually the source of inspiration for the painting because the Qianjiang school draws its inspiration from the Chinese literati style, whereas the typical fencai work is more akin to gongbi painting. For fencai painting, the areas within the outlines of the motif are first applied with an arsenic-based opaque white pigment. The deeper and lighter tones are then obtained by mixing the enamels with different amounts of this opaque substance. For Qianjiang, the enamels are applied directly without the opaque white pigment. Hence, the enamels are thin and lack tonal gradations, especially on the early qianjiang works. 清末民初漢口贛新瓷業公司淺絳彩人物場景花口筆洗中國,約1910-1949年。花口淺筆洗,平底。洗中淺絳彩描繪松下站著一位文人,拄著手杖,一男童提著一籃子花。底座隱約可辨一個“壽”字。 款識:漢口贛新瓷業公司 來源:比利時古玩交易。 品相:狀況極好,有輕微磨損、使用痕跡、燒製缺陷,底座有輕微劃痕。 重量:436.5 克 尺寸:寬29 厘米

The compressed baluster vase stands on a splayed foot. The four lobes of the vase give its characteristic crabapple shape as the neck rises from its globular body to an everted rim.

Alfred Julius Forkel (1873-1934) was born in Bavaria to Johann Wilhelm Forkel and Anna Dorothea Forkel. During his life, Forkel worked as a merchant and later as an officer with the Imperial German Navy. His travels as a merchant and as a naval officer took him across the globe. During his time in China, he assembled a large collection of Chinese porcelain and ceramics. Condition: Good condition with expected old wear and firing irregularities. A small chip to the rim and base, minor pitting, light scratches, and glaze recesses.Weight: 2,777 g Dimensions: Height 39.5 cm The form of this four-lobed vase supported by a broad foot rim directly references the crabapple (haitang), which could be combined with other emblems to create auspicious rebuses. Its second character, ‘tang’, is homophonous with the character for ‘hall’ and, by extension, ‘the family home’. For examples of Imperial objects of the Qing court of related haitang shape, see a bamboo tray at Bonhams Hong Kong, 24 November 2012, lot 323 (see fig. 1), and a pair of gilt bronze and cloisonne jardinieres at Bonhams London, 8 November 2012, lot 250 (see fig. 2). 道光銅紅釉海棠口瓶中國,1821-1850年。海棠口瓶,侈口,溜肩,豐胸,圈足外撇。瓶身施凹陷的底座施有銅紅色釉,底足露胎,足内釉面開片。 來源:Alfred Julius Forkel 收藏,源自同一家族。底座有三個舊標籤 “656263”、“1020”、“69/19”,頸部有兩個標籤 “V”和“69/19”。在藏品清單中提到,第 V 節,19號,描述為 “Tao-Kang Sang de Boeuf”。Alfred Julius Forkel(1873-1934 年)出生於巴伐利亞,父親是Johann Wilhelm Forkel,母親是Anna Dorothea Forkel。Forkel曾是一名商人,後來成為德意志帝國海軍的一名軍官。 因爲工作遠古他走遍了全球。在中國期間,他收藏了大量中國瓷器和陶瓷。 品相:狀況良好,有磨損,邊緣和底座有小缺口、輕微凹坑、輕微劃痕和釉面凹陷。 重量:2,777 克 尺寸:高39.5 厘米
A GE-TYPE SOFT-PASTE WASHER, QIANLONG MARK AND PERIOD 乾隆款及年代仿哥窯纏枝蓮紋筆洗Please note this Lot is to be sold at No Reserve. 本拍品不設底價China, 1736-1795. Finely potted with rounded sides rising from a tapered foot to an incurved mouth encircled by a key-fret decorated rim, the exterior molded with lotus blossoms and foliage bordered by registers of archaistic scroll, covered overall with a thick ivory-white glaze suffused with an irregular network of dark and transparent crackle. The countersunk base impressed with a six-character seal mark da Qing Qianlong nianzhi and of the period.Provenance: From the estate of Stuart and Phyllis Moldaw.

Moldaw (1927-2008) was a retail pioneer and billionaire who founded Ross Stores. He was also a generous philanthropist who served on the boards of several nonprofit agencies, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art,. President Bill Clinton appointed him as a public delegate to the U.S. Mission at the United Nations in 1993 and chairman of the White House Commission on Presidential Scholars in 1996.Condition: Good condition with minor wear and firing irregularities, including glaze recesses, pitting and firing cracks. Few minor shallow chips to edges, occasional light scratches, few tiny hairlines to rim (probably inherent to firing).Weight: 982.7 gDimensions: Diameter 23 cm This rare brushwasher with a crackle-type glaze of a faint ivory tone stands as a refined example of Qianlong period archaism. Porcelains of this type, made in imitation of imperial Ding wares from the Song dynasty and clearly influenced by earlier bronze vessels, were prized by the Qianlong Emperor.Expert’s note: 'Soft-paste' porcelain has the addition of a powdered white clay to the porcelain body, which is called hua shi (slippery stone). This results in a lightweight ware that can be crisply molded and incised with intricate designs. It was significantly more expensive to produce than a standard kaolin porcelain body.Auction result comparison: Type: Near-identical Auction: Sotheby’s, Hong Kong, 7 April 2010, lot 1923 Price: HKD 200,000 or approx.

A COPPER-INLAID BRONZE RITUAL WINE VESSEL AND COVER, HU, EASTERN ZHOU DYNASTYPlease note this Lot is to be sold at No Reserve. 本拍品不設底價Expert’s note: For further research and a comparative analysis with published examples in major institutions, see Charles D. Weber, Chinese Pictorial Bronze Vessels of the Late Chou Period. Part III, published in Artibus Asiae, volume 29, number 2/3, 1967, pages 115-192. In this publication, the author provides a comprehensive analysis of pictorial bronze vessels from the late Zhou period and suggests that this type of decoration originated from Huixian, Henan province, from the 6th into the early 5th century BC.To properly evaluate the current lot, it is essential to compare it with the related examples found in the Fogg Art Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art (see literature comparison). These institutions possess vessels attributed to significant tombs in the vicinity of Huixian. These vessels share several identical pictorial elements with the present lot, as illustrated in the accompanying diagram. These pictorial elements also serve as a basis for dating the current lot, as referenced in fig. 70 of Weber’s work, where the sinuous feline pictograms suggest a manufacture date of 500 B.C.Furthermore, page 151 of Weber's work highlights a pertinent observation. During the late Zhou period, pictorial decoration on these types of vessels was arranged irrespective of the placement of handles. Consequently, handles were often affixed over a portion of the pictorial representations, partially covering the design. This alignment further strengthens the connection of the present lot to the published examples, suggesting that it is not only closely related, originating from the same period and region, but also having a strong possibility of it originating from a neighboring site.China, late 6th-early 5th century BC. Superbly cast, the globular body supported on a tall spreading foot and rising to a waisted neck with a flared mouth, the shoulder set with two small lug handles. The body is finely inlaid with copper in five registers depicting geometrically arranged designs of pairs of birds, felines, and deer within lozenge borders which also encircle the foot, the body further interspersed by elaborate ruyi-like designs, the mouth and rim of the cover with line borders. The similarly decorated domed cover surmounted by a loop finial. The vase has retained its original cover for well over two millennia, which makes it exceedingly rare.Provenance: From a noted private collection in Southern California, USA.Condition: Excellent condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, signs of weathering and erosion, expected minor casting flaws, small nicks and losses, light scratches.

Her right hand held in in varadamudra extending down her leg and her raised left holding a lotus stem which curls around her hand and arm coming to full bloom at the shoulder. Provenance: From an old German private collection.Condition: Remarkably well-preserved condition. Old wear, predominantly from centuries of worship within the culture, with some rubbing and minor losses to gilt. Minimal casting flaws, nicks and dents, occasional light scratches. Losses and possible replacements to inlays. Warping and dents to seal plate. The bronze with a fine, naturally grown, smooth patina overall.Weight: 908.1 g Dimensions: Height 16.2 cm She is clad in a dhoti neatly incised with rows of floral designs and a finely beaded hem, and richly adorned with a foliate crown, beaded necklace, belt, armlets and bracelets, and pendent earrings, all with fine turquoise inlays. Her serene face with sinuously-lidded downcast eyes below elegantly arched brows, her full lips forming a calm smile, her hair pulled up into a high chignon and falling elegantly in a twisted strand over her right shoulder and back. Heavily cast gilt copper alloy figures of this type are characteristic of the Densatil style, a Kagyu monastic complex in central Tibet, southeast of Lhasa, which has long been considered one of the great treasures of Tibet. Founded in the late 12th century, it enjoyed generous patronage and was lavishly decorated during a period of expansion from circa 1360 until the early 16th century. The monastery was known for eight extraordinary memorial stupas symbolizing Buddha's first teaching in Benares. These stupas were called tashi gomang, meaning ‘many doors of auspiciousness,’ and were multi-tiered copper-alloy structures filled with deities such as the present example, standing more than ten feet tall and resplendent with inlays of semiprecious stones. Prior to the destruction of Densatil during China’s Cultural Revolution (1966-1978), eight of them dating between 1208 and 1432 stood in the monastery’s main hall.Expert’s note: Close stylistic parallels can be drawn between the present work and a number of gilt bronze sculptures produced by Newari craftsmen for the Densatil Monastery. Chief among the diagnostic traits that can identify a work from Densatil are the convexly stepped eyebrows and the precisely incised double-lined eyelids and lips. For example, compare a gilt bronze Padmapani figure, Densatil, 14th century, at Bonhams Paris, 14 June 2022, lot 44, from the Claude de Marteau collection.Auction result comparison: Type: Related Auction: Bonhams Hong Kong, 21 April 2021, lot 12 Price: HKD 4,002,500 or approx.

Robert de Strycker (1903-1968) was a French engineer who specialized in metallurgy. He was a Stanford graduate, a professor at the University of Leuven, a director of the Institute of Metallurgy at the Université Catholique de Louvain, and one of the most influential members of the faculty of applied sciences. After World War II, he made large contributions to France’s post-war recovery. Robert and his wife Isabelle (1915-2010) first encountered Chinese art at the British Museum during a stay in London in the 1930s. Enamored with the style and beauty, they both decided to study and collect Chinese works of art. In 1938 they eventually began to build their collection, buying from Belgian, Parisian, and English dealers. They kept close contact with the famous English collector Sir Harry Garner (1891-1977) and noted Czech collector and expert Fritz Low-Beer (1906-1976). In 1964, the couple lent 174 objects from their collection to the Belgian city of Leuven’s museum for an exhibition titled Oude kunst in Leuvens Privébezit (‘Old Art in Private Collections in Leuven’), and in 1967 they lent around thirty Japanese objects to the Royal Museums of Art and History in Brussels for their exhibition Kunst van Japan im belgischen Privatverzameingen (‘Japanese Art in Belgian Private Collections’).Condition: Good condition with old wear and expected manufacturing irregularities.

The lower row featuring a winged dragon, a dragon with a flaming tail, and another dragon with a bifurcated tail. The upper row depicting two dragons with bifurcated tails centered by a two horned dragon. All within a delicately painted key-fret border. Provenance: British trade.

The hardwood frame with expected minor age cracks and nicks.Weight: 5,1 kg Dimensions: Size 50.4 x 49.8 cmWith a matching hardwood frame. (2)The number nine is considered auspicious in Chinese astrology and folk beliefs. Representing the fullest expression of yang, nine is closely associated with heaven in that it evokes infinity, partly because it was the product of three times three, the most basic unit of three being heaven, earth, and man, and partly because the number nine was homophone with the word ‘jiu’ meaning eternity.The most prestigious decorative motif for the Chinese imperial court in the Qing dynasty is the Imperial dragon - the symbol of the Son of Heaven, the Emperor himself. In this case there are nine dragons, an association for the nine sons of the Dragon King. This use of the sacred number nine reinforces the imperial connection and suggests that the piece was intended for use within the Imperial household.Literature comparison:Compare a related iron-red and underglaze-blue ‘nine dragon’ charger, Yongzheng period, sold at Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 8 October 2012, lot 125.

AN UNUSUAL LOBED DING WARE ‘HIBISCUS’ BOX AND COVER, NORTHERN SONG TO JIN DYNASTY 北宋至金定窯海棠口方蓋盒Please note this Lot is to be sold at No Reserve. 本拍品不設底價Expert’s note: A distinctive aspect of the Ding kiln in Hebei province is that when placed underneath a very strong light, the white ware develops an orange hue, almost like a corona, especially where the ware is thinning, such as around the foot rim for example. This characteristic aspect makes objects from the Ding kilns easily identifiable and is due to the unique composition of the ware, which is mostly covered by a rather thick pale-ivory glaze. This ding box is also notable for its rather unusual shape for which we could not find any direct comparisons.China, c. 12th-13th century. The four-lobed square box stands on a short square foot with raised rim, and the cover is decorated with incision work, beading, and a central hibiscus flower medallion with four lines of beading extending from its petals.Provenance: From a private collection in the northeastern United States.

It compares the beauty of the lotus flower that grows unblemished from mud on the bottom of a pond to virtues men ought to possess. The seal ‘chen xin ru shui’ comes from the Biography of Zheng Chong in the Book of Han. Zheng was head of chancery in the court of Liu Xin who enjoyed the confidence of the Emperor until he began having problems with the Empress Dowager Fu and her court favorite Dong Xian. Zheng was in high demand as an official, but after falling from favor, the Emperor accused Zheng of embezzlement because of his fame. Zheng replied, ‘chen men ru shi, chen xin ru shui’ (It is like a bazaar outside my door, but my heart is as pure as water). The seal ‘bing hu’ is an abbreviation of the last line of the famous four-line poem by Wang Changling (690-756): ‘yi pian bing xin zai yu hu’ (my heart is as bright as crystal ice in a jar of jade).Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Bonhams New York, 17 March 2014, lot 8003 Price: USD 25,000 or approx.

It is believed that she is a powerful independent deity emanated by Gautama Buddha from his Ushnisha. In the Mahayana Sitatapatra Sutra, she is called Aparajita (‘Undefeatable, Unconquerable’) and is also identified as a form of goddess Tara, while in other sutras, she is regarded as a female counterpart to Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion. Her parasol symbolizes her ability to protect sentient beings from natural disasters and diseases. She is white in color because the primary means by which she performs this function is the enlightenment energy of pacification. Like Avalokiteshvara in his elaborate form, Ushnisha Sitatapatra has a thousand eyes that watch over living beings, and a thousand arms that protect and assist them. Her proper-left five hundred legs on the left side suppress a host of worldly deities and animals, while her proper-right five hundred legs suppress a host of worldly plights, demons, and animals.Auction result comparison: Type: Related Auction: Galerie Zacke, Vienna, 27 September 2019, lot 324 Price: EUR 10,112 or approx.
