Lot 605

A SMALL RUSSET-SPLASHED ‘HARE’S FUR’ BOWL, SONG DYNASTY China, 960-1279. The bowl is covered with a thick and lustrous blackish-brown glaze suffused with russet ‘hare’s fur’ streaks and accented with russet splashes, stopping neatly above the lower body and exposing the body of greyish-brown color with one thick glaze drop ending at the short foot ring. Condition: Excellent condition with some old wear and minor firing flaws. Provenance: E. W. Hendriks Oriental Art, Amsterdam. Dr. Koos de Jong, acquired from the above in 1996 (invoice not available). Dr. de Jong is a Dutch art historian and has been privately collecting Chinese art over decades. He has authored hundreds of articles and several books on Dutch fine and decorative arts spanning from the Middle Ages to the modern era. In 2013, he published an extensive study of Chinese riding gear in “Dragon & Horse, Saddle Rugs and Other Horse Tack from China and Beyond”. Between 1976 and 2009 he worked for numerous museums across the Netherlands and was the director of the European Ceramic Work Center in Den Bosch. Weight: 103. 8 g Dimensions: Diameter 8 cm The bowl has rounded sides rising to a slightly incurved rim and is supported on a short ring foot. The superior quality of this remarkable bowl consists of the fascinating shades of the colors black, red, brown and green on the inside and the, entirely coincidental, symmetrical fan-shaped streamlining of the stripes on the outside. The bold russet splashes accenting the blackish-brown glaze on this piece are often referred to as zhegu ban, or ‘partridge-feather mottles’. ‘Hare’s fur’ tea bowls, much beloved by tea connoisseurs, were first made at the Jian kilns in Fujian in southern China. Following the Jin conquest of the north in 1127, such bowls became virtually unattainable as trade between northern and southern China diminished. Trying to tap into the lucrative market for these specialized dark-glazed wares, the Cizhou potters began to produce wares exhibiting their own version of this highly desirable glaze.

A SMALL 'OIL SPOT' BLACK-GLAZED CONICAL BOWL, SONG DYNASTY China, 960-1279. The deep conical sides rising from a short straight foot to a slightly everted rim, covered inside and out with a lustrous black glaze suffused with iridescent bluish silver and russet ‘oil spots’ of varying sizes, the glaze stopping above the foot, the unglazed section revealing the buff ware. Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear and firing flaws. Provenance: Collection of Michel Paciello, Venice. Dr. Koos de Jong, acquired from the above in 1999. Dr. de Jong is a Dutch art historian and has been privately collecting Chinese art over decades. He has authored hundreds of articles and several books on Dutch fine and decorative arts spanning from the Middle Ages to the modern era and published an extensive study of saddle rugs in Dragon & Horse.

Weight: 110.4 g Dimensions: Diameter 10.5 cm The present piece boasts a highly lustrous glaze with iridescent ‘oil spot’ markings that shift from silvery-metallic tones to russet-brown when light shines through them. Bowls of this form and covered in this ‘oil spot’ glaze are quite unusual and extremely rare. The only other known, yet slightly earlier example (to this author) is in the Roy Hu collection in Taipei. Conical bowls were intended primarily for the drinking of tea. The choice of tea during the Song and Jin periods was a white tea that was whisked to produce a white froth on top. Black-glazed bowls such as the present example became increasingly popular as they showed off the frothy white tea to great advantage.

Condition: Good condition with minor wear and firing flaws. One hairline across the rim, approx. 3.5 cm in length. Provenance: The Tree Friends Studio Ltd, Chicago.

Weight: 320.0 g Dimensions: Diameter 19.4 cm This beautiful bowl represents the peak of celadon production at the Yaozhou kilns. Both the elegance of its potting and the artistry of its decoration mark it as one of the finest Yaozhou wares. The outlines of the peony design on the interior of the bowl has been deeply cut with a slanting blade. This ensures that the edge of each element of the decoration has a considerable depth of clear green glaze next to it, shading to shallower glaze further from the motif. The effect is to give the overall design a bold, dichromatic, appearance. In contrast, the texture of both petals and leaves has been depicted using an especially fine combing device, to produce very delicately incised parallel lines.

A BAMBOO 'BOATING' BRUSH POT BY WANG JICHANG, QIANLONG PERIOD China, 1735-1796. Intricately carved with a majestic lakeshore landscape, depicted with an elderly man looking out from a small open pavilion nestled in a fenced garden grown with bamboo and pines towards two boating parties on the lake, one boat with its sail raised up the mast and seated with eight figures, the other smaller fishing boat being pulled by two boys running across a small bridge, all below rocky mountains and swirling clouds, and above a seal mark reading ‘Wang Jichang Zhi’. Condition: Fine condition with old wear, one tiny loss and several natural age cracks. Provenance: English private collection. Paper label with inventory number to base. Weight: 511.4 g Dimensions: Height 16 cm, Diameter 13.7 cm This cylindrical brush pot is signed Wang Jichang, a bamboo carver active in the mid-Qing dynasty and a native of Jiading, Jiangsu province. In this bucolic boating and fishing scene, Wang skillfully picks out elements of the motif in a range of depths and textures. Note the variation in cuts between the trees, evoking a sense of wild forest, and the carving around the figures that brings them into focus as the principal actors in this narrative.
