Taber (1859-1940); Collection of Graham and Margaret Groves, Coral Gables, FL (by repute); Private Collection; Sotheby's New York, "Important Chinese Art," September 12, 2018, Lot 351; Private California Collection.Exhibition: The Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (on loan), 1935-1940.Literature:Berthold Laufer, Copy of a note, "Three Imperial Porcelain Seals," Field Museum of Natural History, September 25, 1933."A Rare Collection of Chinese Art: Porcelains, Jades and Horn Carvings Shown in the Exquisite Examples in the George H. Taber Loan to the Carnegie Institute," Carnegie Magazine, vol. 10 (March 1937), 293. Figs. IV, V.Chao Ming Chen, "Symbolism in Chinese Porcelain Decoration," The Bulletin of the American Ceramic Society, vol. 20, no. 6 (June 1941), 197.Lot Essay:The seal has been well-documented throughout the early 20th century. The present seal appears to be the mate to an identical example sold at Freeman's, Philadelphia, 12th March 2016, lot 146. That seal was incised with the mark "xiao yi huang hou yu shang zhi bao" referring to the imperial consort, Lady Tunggiya, who was posthumously honored by the Kangxi emperor as Empress Xiao Yi Ren in 1689. Both that seal and the present seal are referenced as a pair in a short description written in 1933 by Berthold Laufer, then serving as the curator of Chinese art at the Field Museum, Chicago and again in an article by Chen Ming Chen in 1941. In his 1933 description, Laufer thanks Chen for the opportunity to view the seals, implying that the pair was with Chen in 1933. However by 1935, the pair of seals are recorded as belonging to the well-known collector and patron of the arts, George Hathaway Taber (1859-1940) and on loan to the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The present seal and seal face are illustrated in an article in the Carnegie Magazine, vol. 10, March 1937. The seal also appears as a hand drawing in "Notes on the Taber Collection of Oriental Art by A. Avinoff after Consultation with Mr. C.T. Loo, Chinese Dealer in the Art Objects, Paris and New York," Carnegie Museum of Art archives, done while the seals were on loan sometime between 1935-40, with a comment that the pair was on display in "Case II" and it was considered to have been made later than the Kangxi period.Height: 5 3/4 in x width: 9 1/2 in x depth: 7 1/2 in. />Condition: There are a couple of minor restorations to the applied dragon heads with a few small losses.

A RARE CHINESE DING ‘DRAGON’ BRUSH WASHER NORTHERN SONG DYNASTY With tall straight sides and a flat base, the interior is elegantly incised to the centre with a roundel of a single dragon amongst freely drawn scrolls encircled by two bands of square scrolls and with a third band to the exterior. The white body covered overall with an ivory-tinged glaze, the rim bound with metal, 18.3cm. Ding ceramics were the earliest true porcelains made in China, and the world. Ding wares were often fired sitting upside down with their weight resting on their rims. This strategy served to spread the weight of the object and to guard against any malformation of their thinly potted bodies during the firing. Because of contact between the rim and the ground of the saggar, the rims were often left unglazed and later covered with metal. This is a typical feature of Ding ware. The steep sides on the present washer appear to reference a metal prototype. Rose Kerr writing on the collection of Song ceramics in the Victoria and Albert Museum, states that the “fact that Ding ware was an official ware made one feature of its decoration especially pronounced. This was its tendency to mimic other, more precious materials such as gold and silver, huge quantities of which were stored in palace treasures”. Cf. Rose Kerr, Song Ceramics, p.102. Cf. The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Porcelain of the Song Dynasty (I), p.88, no.79 for a related Song Dynasty Ding ware washer, see also Sotheby's Hong Kong, 4th April 2017, lot 3216 for a similar Ding dish. 北宋 定窯白釉刻花龍紋洗
A RARE CHINESE BLUE AND WHITE CYLINDRICAL MING-STYLE ‘POMEGRANATES’ VASE SIX CHARACTER YONGZHENG MARK AND OF THE PERIOD 1723-35 The tall body supported on a low foot and delicately painted in underglaze cobalt blue with eight stylised pomegranates growing from leafy stems issuing from stylised scrolls which form vases. The decoration arranged in two tiers, the four fruit of the upper register divided by ribbon-tied lozenges, the shoulder with pendent scrolls with ruyi motifs and with florets to the neck and a band of scrolls above the foot, all painted to simulate ‘heaping and piling’, 25cm. Provenance: Field Marshal Earl Kitchener of Khartoum (1850-1916), and thence by descent through the family. This appears to be the vase recorded in the Hall at Broome Park, in the Christie, Manson & Woods inventory of December 1916 on page 42, no.466; the inventory describes the decoration as ‘formal asters’ rather than pomegranates. Cf. The Exhibition of Ming and Ch’ing Porcelain from the Collection of the T Y Chao Family Foundation, cat. no.84, for a closely related vase. See also Christie’s, London, 6th November 2012, lot 278 and also Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 10th April 2006, lot 1677, for two closely related vases but painted with flowers. This rare vase is an 18th-century reinterpretation of an early Ming design that was commonly employed on vases of all forms. The Yongzheng Emperor was fascinated with history and the design incorporates the deliberately painted ‘heaping and piling’ characteristic of Yongle and Xuande underglaze-blue porcelains. 清雍正 青花多子多福瓶 《大清雍正年製》青花楷書款 來源：霍雷肖•赫伯特•基奇納元帥（1850-1916），之後由其後人繼承。據佳士得Manson & Woods出版的， Broome Park庫存手冊中記載，1916年12月，頁42， 編號466。

He often invited her father, Baron Eberhard Bodenhausen-Degener (1868-1918), to stay with him at the castle. Under Jan, the Schloss also became a cultural centre with many German artists and intellectuals visiting him.

Although the origin of the tea-dust glaze is uncertain, it was during Yongzheng's reign that the repertoire of the Jingdezhen imperial kilns was expanded to include a wide variety of glazes for which evocative names, such as 'tea-dust', were devised. 清乾隆 茶葉末釉荸薺瓶《大清乾隆年製》篆書刻款
