Lot 126
Full title: A Chinese famille rose 'Pompadour' pot-pourri jar and cover on a gilt bronze mount, Qianlong, ca. 1745Description:H.: 29 cm (total height) - Dia.: 20 cmH.: 22 cm (excl. the mount) At least two enamelled services and a blue and white service with this pattern are known. These have traditionally been thought to have been made for Madame de Pompadour (1721-64) based on the fish vignettes, which appear related to her maiden name of Poisson (fish), and the eagle vignettes representing her husband, King Louis XV. However, there is no evidence that this is so, and indeed it is thought unlikely that Madame de Pompadour would have drawn attention to her bourgeois family name in this way. Ref.:- Christie's, London, May 12, 2009, for another 'Pompadour' pot-pourri jar and cover. (sold GBP 20.000) (direct link available on rm-auctions.com)- Louis Mezin, Cargoes from China, Porcelain from the Compagnie des Indes in the Musee de Lorient, Lorient, 2004, exhibition catalogue, p. 65 for a further discussion on these services, where the author explains that no mention of such services was discovered in any of the family inventories.- David S. Howard, Choice of the Private Trader, London, 1994, for an example of each of the two enamelled services: no. 271, p. 229, for a bourdaloue of the famille rose service primarily in shades of blue, red and green enamels, and no. 77, p. 89, for a saucer-shaped dish in the palette which is primarily iron-red and green enamels combined with gilt; both pieces were in the Hodroff Collection.- Howard and Ayers, China for the West, vol. II, London and New York, 1978, p. 443, for a further discussion on the pattern, and no. 449, for a plate from the Mottahedeh Collection. The palettes used in both the enamelled services were particularly popular in France during this time, suggesting that it was a French order; judging by the extensive range of rare and lavish forms in addition to those normally found in services, they were probably private orders of considerable importance for persons of considerable wealth. Examples from the services are in the Musee Guimet, Paris, the Musee des Arts Decoratifs, Bordeaux, the Musee de Saint-Omer (from the Dupuis Bequest), and the Musee Grobet Labadit, Marseilles.Condition:The absence of a condition report does not imply that a lot is in perfect condition.Condition reports are provided on request.

Lot 250
Full title: A rare Chinese bronze cylindrical tripod censer with Arabic inscription, Zhengde mark and of the periodDescription:H.: 8 cm - Dia.: 10 cm Weight: 1084 grams Bronze censers decorated with Arabic inscriptions came to influence the making of a distinctive group of heavily potted blue-and-white porcelains, all bearing Zhengde imperial marks on the bases and the body decorated with Arabic or Persian inscriptions. Jessica Harrison-Hall in Ming Porcelain in the British Museum, London, 2001, p. 188, notes that it is possible that these wares 'were used by literate Muslim eunuchs at court or by the emperor, who was fascinated by foreign scripts.' For examples of blue-and-white wares with Arabic or Persian inscription in the British Museum see ibid., pls. 8:3-8:11, including an incense burner (8:11) with six roundels each bearing an Arabic phrase. Two ceramic censers of this shape, also with Arabic inscriptions in panels are illustrated in Kaikodo Journal, XXIV. Material Witness, New York, 2008, p. 166, where it is explained that the form derives from Han period prototypes known as zun or lian which were used for containing wine.

It is one of nine sculptures by Thornhill on the Putney Sculpture Trail.The Putney Sculpture Trail was opened in 2008. Set by the Thames, the route runs for one and a half miles, from Leaders Gardens to the west of Putney Bridge to Point Pleasant to its east. The idea of the trail began with the donation of Thornhill's work Load to Wandsworth Council in the late 1980s installed close to Putney Bridge. In 2005 Thornhill offered further sculptures, and the idea of a sculpture trail along the banks of the Thames was devised, with primary sponsorship for the project from Western Riverside Environmental Fund and Wandsworth Council.

ALAN THORNHILL (BRITISH 1921-2020) TOM STOPPARDnumbered 220 on neckpatinated terracottaheight: 43cm; 17inTom Stoppard sat for this bust in 1973, a year after his play Jumpers had won the Evening Standard Award for Best Play and London Theatre Critics Award for Best New Play. Thornhill was a great fan of Stoppard's work. He recalled of the present bust: 'Dissatisfied with the first day's attempt I did another in one day and felt I had made a breakthrough'. A bronze cast of the present work is in the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas (Austin) which has an extensive holding of Stoppard's papers. Stoppard was born Tomáš Sträussler in Czechoslovakia in 1937. When the Nazis invaded the country in 1939 the Sträussler family fled to Asia. After the death of his father in Singapore his mother married Major Kenneth Stoppard, and after the War the family resettled in England. Stoppard worked first as a journalist, then as a theatre critic. His major break-through as a playwright was with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, first staged at the Edinburgh Fringe in the summer of 1966, and then in April 1967 at the National Theatre. Acclaimed plays have followed, amongst them The Real Inspector Hound (1968), Jumpers (1972), Travesties (1975), Arcadia (1993), and Leopoldstadt (2020).ARR may apply
