Full title: A Hispano-Moresque luster-glazed albarello, Manises, Spain, 3rd quarter 15th C.Description:H.: 29,5 cm Provenance:- Property of The Mary Duke Biddle Trent Semans Foundation; On loan to the Duke University Museum of Art, 1956-2020. Mary Duke Biddle Trent Semans (1920-2012) was an American philanthropist, local and state-wide leader, and patron of the arts. A member of the Duke University Board of Trustees and the first female chairman of The Duke Endowment, she helped guide these institutions during five decades of service. In the 1960's she helped found the North Carolina School of the Arts, the USA’s first public conservatory, and in her mother's memory, created The Mary Duke Biddle Gallery for the Blind at the North Carolina Museum of Art. Ref.: - The Hispanic Society, Accession Number: E598, for an interesting related armorial example. (direct link available on rm-auctions.com)- The British Museum, London, Reg no. G.563, for a related example. (direct link available on rm-auctions.com)- In Sam Fogg's exhibition catalogue 'Lustreware from Spain', a related example is shown (nr. 7). Here, it is noted that 'a group of albarelli whose style (like that of the charger in the preceding entry) is typical of ceramics from the Valencian town of Manises. From the late fourteenth century Manises became famous for its production of cobalt-blue and lustreware and, along with Paterna, it developed into one of the most important Valencian centres for the production of Hispano-Moresque pottery. The special attraction of Manises pottery was its workshops’ mastery over the challenging lustred glaze. The Manises lustre had an orange-gold hue, produced with a silver pigment and about a tenth part of copper, which demanded a specialised firing process at much lower temperatures than other glazes. The combination of pointed leaf, looped tendril, fern ornament and bryony flower that decorate our vessel emerged from the earlier fioralixi designs thought to have entered Valencian potters’ repertoires by around 1430, and help date its production to the middle years of the century. Variations of this delicate form of decoration, at once refined and energetic, soon found currency among Europe’s wealthy patrons, and the rarefied, luxury status of such ceramics is evinced by their incorporation into contemporary panel paintings including most famously of all Hugo van der Goes’ Portinari Altarpiece of around 1475, today in the Galleria degli Uffizi (link to catalogue available on rm-auctions.com)Condition:The absence of a condition report does not imply that a lot is in perfect condition.Condition reports are provided on request.

A RARE JAPANESE BLUE AND WHITE DRUG JAR FOR THE WESTERN MARKETEDO PERIOD, C.1650The tall cylindrical body with a waisted spread foot and an everted rim, painted in underglaze blue with a narrow blank cartouche framed by formal scrolling designs with stylised leaves and swags, the shading rendered with cross-hatching of a darker shade; the banderol embellished with an unusual depiction of a moustached male harpy wearing a neck ruff or millstone collar, perched on an orb; heavily potted with some of the recessed base left unglazed, 28cm.C J A Jörg, Fine & Curious, Japanese Export Porcelain in Dutch Collections, pp.213-217 for other examples of drug jars for the Western market. Also, see O Impey, Japanese Export Porcelain, Catalogue of the collection of the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, pp.42-43, for another blue and white jar (pictured opposite with lot 96). This apothecary jar is an unrecorded and possibly unique example. The shape is based on the European albarello (probably from the Arabic term al barani, meaning storage), a container used for spices, herbs and other medicinal products. The European model derived from Persian and Syrian jars from the 12th-13th century. This Japanese example dates from c.1650 and was probably made as a special order. The depiction of a male harpy wearing a neck ruff is very unusual, and may have been the armorial used by a particular monastery or apothecary.Comparing this piece to the jar at the Ashmolean Museum (see picture opposite) shows how these pieces were produced in a similar manner, heavily potted and with the surface covered in a thick white splashed glaze. The cobalt-blue decoration on both jars features shading rendered with cross-hatchings in a darker shade of blue. Dr Oliver Impey noted that no prototypes for this type of decorative labels have been found in Dutch earthenware. However, as the fashion for neck ruffs only stretched into the 17th century in the Dutch Republic, it is likely that the harpy decoration was based on a Dutch model rather than a Portuguese one. The winged creature is also reminiscent of angel-like figures with neck ruffs that can be found on 17th and 18th century Dutch jars or apothekerspots. The first recorded order for Arita porcelain by the VOC (1653) included ‘various (small) porcelain bottles, (small) pots, salve and preserve pots for the surgeon’s shop in Batavia, made according to the samples sent’. Other such orders were passed for ‘large and small medicine pots’ to be shipped to Taiwan, and for other unrecorded destinations. Shards of Japanese albarelli were also found in the shipwreck of the Oosterland, a VOC ship wrecked at the Salt River Mouth, South Africa. This jar was possibly made as part of one of these orders. We would like to thank Clare Pollard and Guido Rabbeljee for their kind assistance and suggestions in researching this lot.

Kashan, Persia, ca. 1200-1300 AD. A pottery albarello jar, originating from the historic city of Kashan. The jar's striking aesthetic is defined by its intense layers of turqoise and navy glazes, which create a captivating visual contrast and enhance the vessel's unique form. The jar's elegantly flared body rises from a pedestal foot, which imbues the piece with a sense of balance and stability. The sloped shoulder of the vessel further accentuates its graceful form, creating an overall sense of harmony and symmetry. The jar's neck is tubular in shape, culminating in a delicately rolled rim. Albarelli jars were a common household item in the Middle East and were used to store a variety of substances, including ointments, medicines, and herbs. The elegant form and exquisite decoration of this jar suggest that it was likely used to hold valuable or important substances.Size: L: 185mm / W: 105mm ; 465gProvenance: Private UK collection; From an old British collection formed in the 1990s.
Albarello en majolique de Deruta, vers 1500-1510A Deruta maiolica albarello, circa 1500-1510Previously attributed to Siena by Dr Chompret, of cylindrical slightly waisted shape, decorated with a drug label reading TRiFeN a MAGN a, over a Moor's head roundel and under an apothecary label of PAQ and ecclesiastical cross, all set on stylised floral motifs in blue against an ochre ground, in turn surrounded by a stiff leaf border held together in four places with yellow ribbons, the reverse with two gothic scrolls, 23.5cm high, 14 cm diam.Footnotes:This albarello is part of a group of albarelli decorated with a Moor's head.
