A FINE CHINESE BLUE AND WHITE BOTTLE VASE, the slightly tapering body with Persian-inspired decoration arranged in vertical panels, each showing two flowerheads on a stem with alternating leaves and tendrils, the latter also with ruyi spandrels at the top and bottom, the shoulder of the vase with a bold lappet band beneath a straight neck with further flowerheads and leafy tendrils, the base with a Qianlong sealmark and of the period, 12" high. Provenance: The Collection of Edward Cozens-Smith, Esq. (1834-1925), 16 Kensington Square, London. Acquired by the Cozens-Smith family at the Maple & Co. March 26th 1928 auction of the contents of the property following his death. Thence by descent within the Cozens-Smith family. The present lot was almost certainly part of lot 444 in the above mentioned auction. Rather amusingly, it was sold with three Nankin meat dishes and a pair of brass candlesticks, and was described simply as a 'Nankin bottle vase'. The lot apparently sold for £1.2.6. It can be seen in the illustration opposite showing the Tudor Style Lounge at 16 Kensington Square in the brochure for the sale of the house in 1928. This vase is a fine example of the revival during the Qianlong period of the assimilation of Islamic decoration into the repertoire of Chinese porcelain. The shape of the vase derives from 13th century Islamic metal vessels. It appears to have been first copied by Chinese potters in the early 15th century in ewer form, as exemplified by a ewer from The Avery Brundage Collection at the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco (B60P85). The current vase belongs to a group of very similar bottle vases made during the Qianlong period. For a directly comparable example see Sotheby's New York, 11th September 2012, Lot 50.

Jivan Ram, Raja (fl. 1825-1840) - Portrait of Lieutenant Jasper Trower, of the Bengal Horse Artillery Oil on canvas Signed and dated Jeewun Ram 1827 lower left, with indistinct Sanskrit inscription underneath 35.5 x 31 cm.

Losty, A new portrait miniature by Jivan Ram acquired , Asian and African studies blog, British Library website, 12th January 2014 A previously unrecorded and unpublished oil painting by the Indian artist Raja Jivan Ram, whose work, miniatures and oils, are rarely available on the open market. Oil paintings by Ram are almost exclusively held in public institutions, with small collections in the British Library, London, and the Bodleian Library, Oxford. Ram is recorded in contemporary literature by William Sleeman who described him as an excellent portrait-painter, and a very honest and agreeable person, [who] was lately employed to take the Emperor's portrait ( op. cit., vol. ii, pp. 285-7). A preliminary drawing is unfortunately all that remains of the portrait described by Sleeman, but the fact that the Mughal Emperor Akbar II (1806-37) commissioned his portrait to be painted by Ram highlights the regard that the artist had with the Indian, as well as the British, elite. [The drawing is now held in the British Library s India Office and Private Papers collection, ref.: Add.Or.3167] The high regard held for Ram by his contemporaries is further shown with his appointment in the 1830s by the famous Begum Samru of Sardhana (1745-1836), whose palace was decorated with some twenty of his oil paintings ( op. cit., Losty, Jan. 2014). The European influence on Indian portrait painting, which began in the 18th century, and was continued by artists travelling and working in India such as George Chinnery (1774-1852) and Thomas Hickey (1741-1824), is clearly apparent in the portrait of Lieutenant Jasper Trower. The most comparable portrait by Ram to the present work is that of Captain Robert McMullin, which is similarly dated 1827, and may well have been executed in close succession (currently held by the British Library, ref.: F863). The sitter, Lieutenant Jasper Trower (c.1807-1845) of the Bengal Horse Artillery, later a Captain in the 7th Light Field Battery, was killed in action during the Battle of Mudki, Punjab, 1845. We have been unable to find any record for an oil painting by Raja Jivan Ram available on the open market for the last 20 years.

Patrick Scott HRHA (b.1921)GOLD PAINTING 4, 1978acrylic with gold leaf on canvassigned, titled and dated on reverse; with Annely Juda Fine Art label on reversePortrait48 by 48in., 120 by 120cm.Annely Juda Fine Art, London;The Collection of Liam O`Keeffe-AyudhkijLiam O`Keeffe-Ayudhkij, who was born in Dublin in 1945, relocated to Thailand at the age of eighteen and is renowned in both the country of his birth and in South East Asia for his contribution to business, arts and charitable organisations in Thailand. O`Keeffe-Ayudhkij was a keen art collector and built up lasting friendships with Irish artists such as Patrick Scott. The meditative quality of Scott`s oeuvre appears to have connected with him and his collection of early Scott canvases offered in this sale is testament to this. In Thailand O`Keeffe-Ayudhkij`s love of art manifested itself in his support of Asian artists, the setting up of `Liam`s Gallery` in Pattaya and a book written by him on Thai art. He was also director of the Phya Thai Palace Restoration Committee. After traveling Thailand from 1963 he settled in Bangkok where a surge in the local property market in the 1970s opened up employment opportunities particularly in the property care services industry. In 1989 he led the management buyout of the company he worked for and formed his own business, which he grew from the mid 1990s. By 2007 the company was employing 23,000 people. As an Irish expatriate O`Keeffe-Ayudhkij was invited in 2009 to the Global Irish Economic Forum in Farmleigh. He was also a founder and director of the Irish Thai Chamber of Commerce and a past president of the Bangkok St. Patrick`s Society among other accolades. Outside of the business arena O`Keeffe was a true philanthropist and committed to many charitable organisations including Support the Children Foundation and the Bangkok Nursing Home Hospital. His obituary in the Irish Times this year noted, He will be remembered for his business acumen, charity work, love of art and boundless enthusiasm."
