A RARE DOUCAI SQUARE TEA CADDY, 17TH-18TH CENTURYChina. Well potted with straight sides, finely decorated in bright enamels and underglaze-blue linework to one side with gnarled flowering prunus tree, leafy bamboo, craggy rockwork, and a full moon partly obscured by a wispy cloud, and to the other with peonies and a pomegranate borne on leafy stems issuing from gnarled branches amid rockwork, the short sides with sinuous confronting dragons centered by a large flaming pearl, the base left unglazed.Provenance: Ancient Art, Stockholm, no. 178 (label to base). A Swedish private collection, acquired from the above. Condition: Very good condition with old wear, traces of use, and firing irregularities, including small glaze recesses and minor frits. A small hairline to the interior of the mouth. Slightly leaning. Weight: 1,830 g Dimensions: Height 24 cm (incl. stopper) and 22 cm (excl. stopper)With an associated wood stopper. (2)Expert's note: Tea caddies of this flattened square form are rare, and there appear to be no other examples of this size decorated in the doucai palette recorded in public or private collections. The superb quality of the painting and distinct firing irregularities, however, leave no doubt that this vessel was made during the late 17th or rather early 18th century.十七至十八世紀罕見鬥彩花卉四方茶罐中國。胎質緊致,小口,直頸,腹呈四方體,平底。青花勾勒,明亮的琺瑯描繪,一面為富貴牡丹圖,另一面為月下梅花;左右小側面為雙龍戲珠;頸部左右為壽桃,底足未上釉。 來源:斯德歌爾摩Ancient Art藝廊,no 178 (底部標籤);瑞典私人收藏,購於上述藝廊。 品相:狀況極好,有磨損、使用痕跡和燒製不規則,包括小釉槽和小熔塊。罐內一條小髮際線。微微傾斜。 重量:1,830 克 尺寸:高24 厘米 (含蓋) 與 22 厘米 (不含蓋) 木質罐蓋 (2) 專家注釋:這種扁平方形的茶葉罐非常罕見,而且在公共或私人收藏中似乎沒有其他這種尺寸的鬥彩紋飾。 其卓越品質和明顯的燒製不規則性讓人設想,他很可能是十七世紀末或更確切地說是十八世紀初製造的。
