A BLACK-GROUND PORCELAIN ‘CORNELIS PRONK’ SQUARE BALUSTER VASE, 18TH CENTURYChina, c. 1734-1740. The rounded sides rising from a splayed foot to a tapering neck with an everted rim, finely painted in bright enamels with redcurrants on a branch with foliage, reserved on a black ground.Provenance: British private collection. Condition: Overall, very good condition with some old wear and firing flaws, some chips to edges, expected pitting and glaze recesses, occasional light scratches and traces of use.Weight: 1,529 gDimensions: Height 28.8 cmHaving been inspired in form by archaic Chinese bronzes, this vase was designed by the Dutch draftsman Cornelis Pronk (1691-1759), who was employed by the Dutch East India Company to produce porcelain designs from 1734 until 1740. Pronk incorporated in many of his designs details taken from prints by the Dutch-Swiss botanist, Marie Sybille Merian (1646-1717), and the decoration on these vases closely copy Merian’s botanical studies (see William Motley, Think Pink, Cohen & Cohen, Reigate, 2013, page 60 for a discussion of these designs).The vases were made in two styles: tall and slim (as in the present lot), or shorter and broader. Motley states that there are three known designs, which he calls ‘dewbury’, ‘fritillary’, and ‘redcurrant’, after the botanical specimens they represent. Due to the small output of porcelain designed by Pronk, the few vases that have survived are highly prized, and meticulously decorated examples such as the present lot are rare.Literature comparison: A three-piece garniture, of the shorter variety, and with the ‘redcurrant’ design, is in the Östiatiska Museet, Stockholm, illustrated by Jan Wirgin, Fran Kina till Europa, Stockholm, 1998, p. 175, no. 189. A single vase of the taller and slimmer type but of inverted shape, which has the same design as on the present vase, was sold at Christie’s London, 22 June 1981, lot 145, and published by Anthony du Boulay, Christie’s Pictorial History of Chinese Ceramics, Oxford, 1984, p. 269.Auction result comparison: Compare with a pair of square beaker vases with the same design at Christie’s London in Noble & Private Collections on 27 October 2015, lot 70, sold for GBP 26,250.

brass and copper on a wooden base 31cm highFootnote: Anticipating his future creations, Bath based sculptor, Edward Willis, recalls a childhood memory of balancing spoons and knives precariously on the edge of his bowl, “absorbed by the process and at the same time aware of the inevitable impermanence of the achievement.” Although not strictly representational, Willis’ kinetic sculptures draw upon the botanical and the animal to create elegant, abstracted skeletal forms and, like the work of Alexander Calder, explore dichotomous themes of fragility and strength, stasis and rhythm, and tension and tranquillity. Unlike traditional static sculpture, the artist invites us to understand his works' suspended animations, interacting and reliant on the environment they inhabit.

Don Balke (North Carolina, B. 1933) "The Wetlands" Signed lower left. Original Watercolor painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original painting which was published on the Fleetwood First Day of Issue Postal Card for the U.S. 15c America the Beautiful, The Wetlands, issue of March 17, 1989. America's wetland swamp areas are a soggy-but-splendid, fertile-but-fragile cornucopia of plant and wildlife. One such area is Georgia's legendary Okefenokee Swamp Park. It is also among the largest and most primitive of the American wetlands. Covering over six hundred fifty square miles, it serves as the headwaters for the Suwanee and St. Mary's Rivers. Set aside in 1937 as a National Wildlife Refuge by President Franklin Roosevelt, Okefenokee is home to more than two hundred species of birds, fifty species of reptiles, forty species of mammals and thirty-two species of amphibians. The American alligator, the Florida panther and the bald eagle are among the endangered species that frequent the area. Referred to as America's greatest natural botanical garden, Okefenokee Swamp was cited in 1986 as a Wetland of International Importance, only the fourth area so designated in the United States. Okefenokee comes from a Native American word meaning "land of trembling earth. " Though the name alludes to the shaky swamp floor made of layers of centuries-old vegetation, it is also an apt description of the precarious state of the American wetlands. Up to four hundred fifty thousand acres are lost every year, mainly due to drainage for human use and urbanization. Image Size: 14.75 x 13 in. Overall Size: 20 x 21.75 in. Unframed. (B11905)
