Lot 575
A COLLECTION OF SATSUMA Satsuma, as it is generally understood in the West, is a fine, high-fired earthenware and is a misnomer as most was made in Kyoto, 500 miles away. Many pieces bear the mon (badge) of the Shimazu clan, lords of Satsuma, and a mark of two characters or more. These were formerly thought to be those of the maker or decorator of the piece but, because of the way the Japanese ceramic industry was organised, it might be also that of a factory, decorating shop, sponsor or retailer. This explains the extraordinary number of different marks compared to, say, Stoke on Trent. Most decorators bought in their blanks, they did not make the pots themselves. This collection, which includes a few pieces from other owners, was assembled from the 1940s and is a good representation of what was collectable about a century ago. Included are the major makers: Sobei Kinkozan, Ryuzan, Yabu Meizan, Meizan, Seikozan and a rare plate by Shoko Takebe. A pair of Satsuma Vases, c.1900, each with panels of figures between diaper, 44.5cm (2)

A Chinese porcelain apple shaped Brushwasher `pingguo zun`, Kangxi period (1662-1722), of stoutly potted globular shape with an inset rim decorated in famille verte enamels with three prancing figures within a typical rocky landscape. The `pingguo zun`, an apple shaped water jar, was a known scholars desk ornament form in China. See Stephen W. Bushell - Oriental Ceramic Art (1899) who writes "Two favorite designs, for example, of the little water-bottles intended to be used with the writer`s pallet [sic] are the p`ing-kuo tsun [pingguo zun] or apple jar, which is molded as an exact facsimile in size and shape of the fruit, and its fellow, the shih-liu tsun [shiliu zun] or pomegranate jar. I have seen these two shapes only in China."" 8cm high, 10.5cm diameter In good condition with some very slight abrasions to the rim surface where the brush was used to remove water.

* Portrait bronzed ceramic plaque, undated, by P. Metcalfe, head left, THE PRINCE OF WALES around, PERCY METCALFE incuse in small letters below truncation, raised rim, the edge pierced with four holes, strung for suspension from the upper two holes, reference nos. handwritten on the white back: E5874 (pencil inside head), ‘Regd. No. 785624.’ in ink, and ‘O/8474’ in pencil, below truncation, 328mm, extremely fine and extremely rare The purpose of the present piece, inscribed THE PRINCE OF WALES rather than KING EDWARD VIII, is not known, but it is comparable to Paget’s Master Mariner medal (Gi. CM141). Percy Metcalfe was later invited to prepare models for a portrait and attended the only private sitting granted by the Prince of Wales, together with Thomas Paget and W. McMillan, but it was Paget’s portrait design that the Prince chose for the British coinage. Metcalfe’s designs were chosen for overseas coinage and for the official coronation medal.
