A MONUMENTAL SANCAI-GLAZED FIGURE OF BUDDHA SHAKYAMUNI, MING DYNASTYChina, Henan province or Shanxi province, 1368-1644 (ca. 1500-1600). Seated in dhyanasana on a matching, separately fired double-lotus base with beaded edge. His left hand is raised in front of the chest and his right lowered on his lap, wearing a loose-fitting monastic robe opening at the chest. The serene face with downcast eyes and full lips forming a benevolent smile, flanked by long pendulous earlobes, the hair in tight curls surmounted by a domed ushnisha.Provenance: From a Swedish private estate.Condition: Excellent condition with old wear and firing flaws, including a glaze recess to one hand. A major firing crack to the base was sealed at the time of production, with associated superficial recesses that look similar to firing cracks but are in fact glaze recesses. Minor chips and losses along the edge of the base, intentional glaze crackling, extensive weathering to glaze areas resulting in some sections being slightly dull. Note that for a sancai statue of this size and age, the present condition must be considered as superb.Weight: 44 kg Dimensions: Height 83.5 cm (measured including the matching lotus base, the Buddha alone measuring already 67 cm height)Both Buddhist and Daoist sancai-glazed stoneware figures were popularly commissioned during the Ming dynasty. They were likely inspired by the famous Yixian glazed pottery luohans, discovered before World War I in caves at Yizhou and described as one of the most important groups of ceramic sculpture in the world.No other sancai-glazed figures of Buddha, with such fine modeling, in equally well-preserved condition, and of this date and size, appear to have been published in private collections.A sancai-glazed seated figure of Buddha is illustrated by Rene-Yvon Lefevre d'Argence, Chinese, Korean and Japanese Sculpture from the Avery Brundage Collection, Kondasha, Tokyo, 1974, fig. 170. In the catalog description, the author writes, “The figure belongs to a large series, many of which have reportedly come from Shansi, and is very close to a Buddha now in the Musee Guimet. The Avery Brundage Collection example seems to continue the style of a pottery Buddha, dated 1494, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.” The dated figure in the Metropolitan Museum is illustrated by W. Cox, The Book of Pottery and Porcelain, Vol. 1, New York, 1947, pl. 151.Literature comparison: Compare with a closely related sancai Buddha from the Avery Brundage collection, now in the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco, object number B60P139. Compare with a sancai-glazed sculpture of a luohan, dated to the Liao dynasty, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 21.76. Compare also with a polychrome figure which may represent the Daoist deity Yuan Shi Tian Zun (The Primal Celestial Excellency) of the San Qing (Three Pure Ones) in the British Museum, museum number 1930,0719.62. Further Daoist examples include a figure of the Heavenly Marshal Zhao, dated 1482 in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and another related seated figure of the Daoist God of Literature, Wenchang Wang in the Royal Ontario Museum is illustrated in Henry Trubner, Royal Ontario Museum, The Far Eastern Collection, Toronto, 1968, p. 72, no. 90.Auction result comparison: Compare with a related sancai figure of a Daoist deity of larger size (111.8 cm high) at Sotheby’s New York in Fine Chinese Ceramics & Works of Art on 17-18 September 2013, lot 49, sold for USD 149,000.

The Avery Brundage Collection example seems to continue the style of a pottery Buddha, dated 1494, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.”（該造像屬於一個造像系列，其中很多據報導自山西省，與現在吉美美術館中的佛像非常接近。Avery Brundage 收藏的例子似乎延續了大都會博物館中一座1494年的陶佛的風格。）大都會博物館中的陶佛可見W.

A STRAW GLAZED POTTERY AMPHORA, LONGBINGHU, TANGChina, 618-907. The body of baluster form rising from the flat base to a slightly concave neck and a cup-shaped mouth with an everted lip, with two strap handles on the shoulder terminating in dragon heads in the mouth, giving the appearance that the mythical beasts are drinking from the amphora.Provenance: French private collection. Japanese collector’s inscription to base.Condition: Fair condition with significant old wear, pitting, the glaze with some flakes, recesses, and signs of weathering and erosion, all absolutely consistent with age.Weight: 2,475 gDimensions: Height 38 cmCovered overall in a translucent and finely crackled glaze of pale yellowish tint stopping unevenly around the center of the body to reveal the buff ware.Vases of this elegant form, with full rounded shoulders and a pair of sweeping handles in the form of sinuous dragons, illustrate the international spirit of the Tang dynasty. Known in Chinese as longbinghu, “dragon-handled jars”, their form was inspired by silver and glass vases made in the Roman Empire and brought to China through the Silk Route. The Tang potters cleverly adapted Western forms to suit contemporary taste by modelling the handles in the form of dragons biting the vessel’s rim.Literature comparison: Examples of dragon-handled amphoras, both with white and amber-brown glazes, have been found in Gongyi city, Henan province, not far from the Gongyi kiln site, one of the foremost producers of Tang pottery. A reconstructed example, unearthed from a Tang dynasty tomb at Beiyaowan, near Gongyi, was included in the exhibition Ceramic Finds from Henan, University Museum and Art Gallery, Hong Kong, 1997, cat. no. 12. A similar amphora from the collection of Robert W. de Forest, now in the Newark Museum, was included in the exhibition Chinese Art from the Newark Museum, China Institute in America, New York, 1980, cat. no. 9.Auction result comparison: Compare with a related but slightly larger Tang amphora sold by Sotheby’s New York in A Noble Pursuit: Important Chinese And Korean Art from A Japanese Private Collection on 11 September 2019, lot 526, for USD 50,000.唐代白釉雙龍耳瓶中國，618-907。卷沿，盤口，細長頸，豐肩鼓腹，平底。雙龍耳高聳於口沿，垂至肩部。頸和肩部劃雙弦紋，精細絕倫。 來源：法國私人收藏Japanese collector’s inscription to base. 品相：狀況良好，有舊磨損。細微點蝕，釉面輕微開片、些許凹陷以及風化侵蝕痕跡。品相與年代絕對相符。 重量：2,475 克 尺寸：高 38 厘米 施白釉不到底，白釉稍泛青色，有極細的紋片。灰白胎。 拍賣結果比較：一件相近但更大些的唐代雙龍耳瓶售于紐約蘇富比A Noble Pursuit: Important Chinese And Korean Art from A Japanese Private Collection 拍場，2019年9月11日，lot 526, 售價 USD 50,000。

A VIETNAMESE BLUE AND WHITE ‘FLORAL’ JAR, 15TH CENTURYVietnam. The baluster body rising to a short neck, the exterior painted with a band of scrolling vines and stylized flowers between a band of lappets above the base and a band of overlapping lotus leaves at the shoulder, covered overall in a finely crackled transparent glaze.Provenance: Collection of Dr. Ernst Grüterich, Gelsenkirchen, and thence by descent in the same family. German private collection, acquired from the above. Dr. Ernst Grüterich (1926-2017) was a German ophthalmologist and collector of Asian art, building a large collection over many decades.

Old collector’s label ‘Grüterich, Gelsenkirchen’ to base.Condition: Good condition with minor wear, intentional crackling, firing irregularities, firing cracks, small glaze recesses, minuscule nibbling here and there.Weight: 1,124 gDimensions: Height 16 cmThe technique of manufacture, shape of the jar, and general composition of design are clearly based on blue-and-white prototypes of the early Ming dynasty (1368–1644), but the whimsical design is uniquely the product of Vietnamese artistic sensibilities.The origins of blue-and-white ware in Vietnam remain obscure; however, the addition of this type of ceramic to the repertory is often linked to the brief Chinese occupation of the early fifteenth century. Vietnamese potters, who continued fourteenth-century Chinese styles well into the sixteenth century, often competed for markets, particularly those in Southeast Asia, with the kilns at Jingdezhen.Literature comparison: Two related dishes, one from the 15th century and the other dated from the 15th to the 16th century, are in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession numbers 1998.213 and 1989.157.越南十五世紀青花花卉紋罐越南。器型飽滿，罐直口、短頸、鼓腹，胎體厚重。外壁芭蕉葉紋及纏枝紋，整體上覆透明釉。來源：德國Gelsenkirchen 的Ernst Grüterich博士收藏，自此在同一家族中世代相傳。 德國私人收藏，從上述收藏獲得的。 Ernst Grüterich博士（1926-2017）是德國眼科醫生和亞洲藝術品收藏家，數十年來積累了大量收藏。 他的部分藏品已在科隆的東亞藝術博物館展出。底足上可見老收藏家標籤“Grüterich，Gelsenkirchen”。品相：狀況良好，有輕微磨損，釉面開片，燒製不規則，燒製裂紋，釉面小凹痕，大面積小磕損。重量： 1,124 克尺寸：高16 厘米

A BLUE AND WHITE ‘BESTOWING THE EDICT’ CHARGER, KANGXI MARK AND PERIODChina, 1713-1722. The steep sides rising from a slightly tapering ring foot to an everted rim. The interior finely painted in deep cobalt blue with a dignitary bestowing an edict to a peasant farmer, accompanied by an attendant holding a canopy and a small elephant, two birds flying in the sky above, the exterior with three evenly spaced blossoming plum branches. The backside with the six-character mark da Qing Kangxi nianzhi within a double circle and of the period.Provenance: From an old French private collection.Condition: Very good condition with old wear, light surface scratches, some firing flaws, few minuscule glaze flakes, minor fritting. The foot rim with superficial markings and soiling, including traces of rust, from a metal mounting which once was applied for wall suspension.Weight: 2,418 gDimensions: Diameter 40.3 cm, Height 7 cmLarge dishes like the present example, where the entire surface of the vessel is given over as the major decorative area, provided the Kangxi ceramic artists with a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate their skills in painting. The style chosen to paint the scene here, probably commemorating an actual event, is a version of the so-called ‘Master of the Rocks’ style. This style, which seems to have developed towards the mid-17th century, continued to be popular in the early years of the Kangxi reign, with fewer but bolder examples being made after the turn of the century. It was by no means limited to the brush of a single artist, or just to rock and landscape painting.Instead, the style is characterized by the use of ‘hemp-fiber’ strokes, slightly sinuous and in seemingly broken lines, seen to great effect in the skin of the elephant and the clothes of the figures on the present lot. These strokes are also found on related but slightly earlier blue and white dishes (see auction result comparison) in the gentle slopes of rock formations and, in smaller applications, on the clothes of figures. But as porcelain production developed during the Kangxi reign, away from the decorative settings of the late Ming period towards a more mature style, the ‘hemp-fiber’ strokes became ever more striking and imposing as they appeared on larger figures against an undecorated background, exactly as in the present dish.Auction result comparison: Compare with a related blue and white dish of significantly smaller size at Sotheby’s New York in Kangxi: The Jie Rui Tang Collection on 20 March 2018, lot 312, sold for USD 60,000, and another considerably smaller dish at Christie’s New York in Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art on 18 September 2003, lot 312, sold for USD 23,900.

AN EXTREMELY RARE ARCHAISTIC RU-TYPE ARROW VASE, TOUHU, QIANLONG MARK AND PERIODChina, 1735-1796. Elegantly potted with a compressed globular body rising to a slightly waisted neck, flanked by a pair of tubular lug handles, covered overall in an unctuous and even Ru-type glaze, the recessed base similarly glazed and with a four-character Qianlong nianzhi seal mark in underglaze blue and of the period.Provenance: From a European private collection and thence by descent in the same family.Condition: Four tiny and shallow surface nibbles to the unglazed section of the foot rim, one with a microscopic touchup and the other three invisible from the outside. Otherwise in absolutely perfect condition (inspected under strong blue light).Weight: 293.3 gDimensions: Height 15.1 cmThis charming and rare vase, of archaistic form, is made in imitation of the highly-treasured Ru ware of the Song dynasty. The Qianlong Emperor was declarative about his fondness of Imperial ceramic wares of this period (960-1279) going as far as to having many of the pieces in the Qing Court Collection inscribed with poems he had written extolling their virtues. During his reign, glazes imitating Jun, Ding, Guan, Ge and Ru wares, known as the five ‘official’ wares of the Song dynasty, were recreated in forms relating closely to their Song prototypes, such as the present example.The high level of skill and keen attention to detail in simulating the distinctive characteristics of Song Imperial ware is evidenced in the soft, unctuous quality of the luminous glaze and at the foot which has been left unglazed and stained dark brown.Furthermore, this vase is also a good example of the archaistic bronze forms produced during the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods. The interest in antiques during the Qing Dynasty concentrated on such archaic bronzes, which were copied by the imperial kilns at Jingdezhen, particularly since the Yongzheng period, and this interest continued under the Qianlong emperor.Literature comparison: Compare a Qianlong Ru-type vase of related hu form in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Monochrome Porcelain, Hong Kong, 1999, pl. 216. There is also a related example in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, published in the Illustrated Catalogue of the Ch'ing Dynasty in the National Palace Museum, Ch'ien-lung Ware and Other Wares, Tokyo, 1981, pl. 82, and another included in John Ayers, The Baur Collection, Geneva, vol.

A TEADUST-GLAZED BOTTLE VASE, QIANLONG MARK AND PERIODChina, 1735-1796. The compressed globular body rising from a slightly waisted foot with a molded edge to a superbly potted cylindrical neck. Covered overall with a finely mottled, elegant silky matte glaze of deep olive-green color that also covers the base. The foot is covered by a dark brown wash. Neatly incised six-character da Qing Qianlong nianzhi seal mark and of the period, the mark itself highlighted by a russet-brown glaze.Provenance: Christie's Paris, 14 June 2006, lot 364. Austrian private collection.Condition: Absolutely perfect condition with only very minor wear and firing irregularities.Weight: 906.0 g Dimensions: Height 21.5 cmFine tea-dust glazed porcelains are particularly associated with the Qing dynasty reigns of the Yongzheng and Qianlong Emperors, and it is of interest to note that, like those vessels with a robin’s-egg glaze, tea-dust porcelains usually bear seal-script marks in both the Yongzheng and Qianlong reigns.The fine tea-dust glazes of the 18th century are linked to the most famous and revered of all the supervisors of the imperial kilns, Tang Ying (1682-1756). Tang Ying’s document ‘Commemorative Stele on Ceramic Production’ from 1735 provides information on 57 types of porcelain ware, including 40 monochrome glazes. Amongst these, there is reference to ‘copy workshop glaze’ fang changguan, i.e. tea-dust, and a listing of three variants: eel-skin yellow, snake-skin green, and speckled yellow. It is interesting that these are called fang or copies, since it suggests that the kilns were specifically copying an ancient glaze, most probably a Tang or Song dynasty original tea-dust glaze from northern China.Expert’s note: Although Qianlong-marked teadust-glazed vases of this general form are well known, smaller examples are very rare, and the current vase further distinguishes itself with its unusually fine and even glaze as well as its magnificent quality of pottery.Literature comparison: A teadust-glazed vase of similar small size and proportions is illustrated by J Ayers in Chinese Ceramics and the Baur Collection, Geneva, 1999, no. 297. Another is illustrated by R. Krahl in Chinese Ceramics from the Meiyintang Collection, London, 1994, vol. 2, no. 917.

A COPPER-RED ‘THREE-FISH’ DISH, YONGZHENG MARK AND PERIODChina, 1723-1735. The gently rounded sides rising from a short ring foot, decorated in underglaze copper-red on the interior with three evenly spaced fish, the exterior sides plain, the recessed base with a six-character mark da Qing Yongzheng nianzhi within a double circle and of the period.Provenance: Gary Bachman, Philadelphia, 1982. US private collection, acquired from the above. Another private collector, acquired from the above in 2007 at auction, described there as “Small dish decorated with three fish in red underglaze, attributed to Yonngzheng [sic] mark and period, 1723-35, with 1982 receipt from Gary Bachman, 1500 Locust St. Philadelphia”. The receipt from 1982 is lost. Old label ‘Gary Bachman, Philadelphia’ and another old collector’s label to base.Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear and firing irregularities. Several tiny glaze lines to well and base (inspected under strong blue light).Weight: 92.1 gDimensions: Diameter 10.8 cmThe design of three red fish against an undecorated white ground has its roots in the Xuande period, when a select group of imperial cups, stem cups and stem bowls embellished with such distinct silhouettes were produced. This iconic style of decoration was rarely used until it was revived in the early Qing dynasty, encapsulating the Yongzheng Emperor’s fervent interest in antiquities.According to Taocheng jishi bei [Commemorative Stele on Ceramic Production], compiled in 1735 by Tang Ying (1682-1756), the three fish decoration, along with the three fruits, three lingzhi fungus and five bats, were the four copper-red designs from the Xuande reign that were specifically replicated at the Imperial kilns during the Yongzheng period.Literature comparison: A pair of Yongzheng dishes with this pattern, however on the exterior, was included in the Hong Kong O.

A COMPLETE AND RARE SET OF SHIWAN ‘XIANGQI’ FIGURES, REPUBLIC PERIODChina, 1912-1949. Six men, all expressively carved, bearded, and with variously receding hairlines, seated on craggy rocks, all around a huge stone fashioned as a xiangqi (Chinese chess) table, with six pieces, a teapot, and two bowls on top. One man holds the ‘pao’ (cannon) piece in his hand and intensely considers his next, likely decisive move, while his opponent has a look of worry and the others are in sclerotic excitement. (7)Inscriptions: To the side of the chess table, Le zai qi zhong (‘Find Pleasure in’). To the side of one rock, Zhao. To each rock with seated figure, Guzhen (‘Old Treasures’)Provenance: English private collection.Condition: Two figures with reattached arms, some with old minor touchups and other smaller repairs. Given the many exposed areas, the large set, and its considerable age, this must still be considered as a very good condition. Weight: 6.8 kg (total)Dimensions: Height 22.5 (the largest)Xiangqi originated in China and is therefore commonly called Chinese chess in English. It represents a battle between two armies, with the object of capturing the enemy's ‘general’ piece. Distinctive features of the game include the unique movement of the ‘pao’ (cannon) piece, a rule prohibiting the generals from facing each other directly, and the ‘river’ and ‘palace’ board features, which restrict the movement of some pieces.Expert’s note: A complete set of figures of such high quality and artistic merit, with the maker clearly being a big fan of the subject game, is very rare and simply unseen on the auction market. Note the great attention to detail, with every figure showing a different, strong character, their well modeled slightly emaciated features, and the various ceramic vessels used.民國一套罕見象棋人物組 中國，1912-1949年。六個男人都留著鬍鬚，表情豐富，髮型各有不同，坐在岩石上，一側有一塊鑲有象棋盤的桌子的巨大石頭，上面有六個棋子，一個茶壺和兩個碗。 一個人手裡拿著“大砲”，思考著他的下一步棋，而他的對手顯得非常憂心，其他人則處於興奮激動中。 棋桌下石頭一側可見“樂在其中”；另一側可見“趙遙”二字。下棋者的石凳一側可見“古珍”二字。 來源：英國私人收藏. 品相：兩個人物的雙臂重新固定過，一些人進行了曾有過小修，還有其他較小的修。 考慮到許多裸露的區域，大型人物組以及其年代，該人物組的狀況算是非常好的。 重量：縂6.8公斤 尺寸：最大的高22.5 厘米 專家注釋: 如此高品質和藝術價值的完整人物組非常完整，而其製作人顯然是象棋的忠實擁護者，這在拍賣市場上是非常鮮見的。 請注意對細節的生動表現，每個人物都顯示出不同而強烈的特徵，表現出輕微的瘦弱特徵，並使用了各種陶瓷容器。
