RARE BRONZE INCENSE BURNER IN THE FORM OF A DUCK STANDING ON TOAD MING DYNASTY, 17TH CENTURY 明 銅寶鴨戲金蟾薰爐 cast standing with one leg on a three-legged toad, head turned to the right and beak ajar, the wings with plumage finely rendered and opening up to the vessel, on a bespoke wooden stand Dimensions:35.2cm high; 3760g Provenance:Provenance: Leonard Gow (1859–1936), thence by family descent. Born in Glasgow, the son of a shipping magnate, Leonard Gow attended Glasgow University in 1884 to spend a year studying Moral Philosophy. He became senior partner in the shipping company Gow, Harrison & Co, director of the Burmah Oil Company and chairman of several other companies. A noted philanthropist, he founded the Leonard Gow Lectureship on Medical Diseases of Infancy and Childhood in 1919. He was given an Honorary Degree in 1934. He began collecting Impressionist art, and Chinese and Japanese porcelain around 1880. His collection of well over 400 prints by Muirhead Bone, which includes many rare impressions, was presented by his trustees in 1965 to the Hunterian Art Gallery, University of Glasgow. A selection of Chinese porcelains from Leonard Gow, notably lot 354, a pair of Yellow and Green 'Dragon' bowls, Yongzheng mark and period, were sold in this saleroom on 2 December 2014.As remembered by the current owner (the great-grandson of Leonard Gow), the present lot was displayed in the hall at his grandparents' family home at Hallhill, Renfrewshire during the 1960s and 70s. Note: Note: Bronze incense burner in the form of a goose or duck, either standing one-legged or two, is a relatively common subject matter. The three-legged toad, known as jinchan in Chinese, is a beloved mythical animal believed to beckon wealth, usually depicted with the immortal Liu Hai. However, it is unusual to see the combination of a duck standing on a toad. A comparable example, dated to the Ming dynasty, is in the Guanfu Museum, note the similarity of the composition of the duck and toad. According to the museum note, 'duck', in Chinese ya, is a homophonic pun for 'press' or 'insistence', and the toad symbolises wealth. The duck standing sideway on the toad implies a guaranteed unexpected, or sudden gain of wealth.Sold examples of only the duck, Ming dynasty, standing on one leg like the present lot, can be found in auctions, one at Sotheby's Paris, 16 June 2022, lot 72, the other at Christie's New York, 29 Jun 2021, lot 99. A related example of a bronze 'Liu Hai and toad' censer, 17th century, was sold at Sotheby's London, 18 May 2018, lot 437.

FINE PAIR OF INSCRIBED BLUE AND WHITE TEA TRAYS QING DYNASTY, JIAQING MARK AND OF THE PERIOD 清嘉慶 青花「大清嘉慶年製」六字篆書款 青花開光御製詩海棠式茶托 each with shallow lobed sides of quatrefoil section, supported on four short bracket feet, the interior inscribed with an imperial poem pertaining to the preparation of tea and dated to the dingsi year of the Jiaqing reign (corresponding to 1797), surrounded by a band of scrolling lotus and florets repeated on the interior and exterior walls with a variation on the central bloom, the base inscribed with a six-character Jiaqing seal mark in underglaze blue and surrounded by spur-marks, with fitted wooden stand Dimensions:16.1cm wide each Provenance:Provenance: Private Scottish collection; inherited from the family who worked and travelled extensively in Asia during the 1920s-1940s. Note: Note: The poem on these small dishes, composed by the Jiaqing Emperor, praises the pleasure of drinking tea and appears on tea trays and teapots of different palettes. S.W. Bushell translates the poem in Oriental Ceramic Art, London, 1981, p. 239, as: 'Finest tribute tea of the first picking. And a bright full moon prompts a line of verse. A lively fire glows in the bamboo stove, The water is boiling in the stone griddle, Small bubbles rise like ears of fish or crab. Of rare Chi'i-ch'iang tea, rolled into tiny balls, One cup is enough to lighten the heart, And dissipate the early winter chill.' A similar blue and white tray is illustrated by H.A. Van Oort, Chinese Porcelain of the 19th and 20th Centuries, The Netherlands, 1977, p. 19, pl. 2. Closely comparable pairs of dishes of this pattern and date were sold at Christie's London,15 May 2012, lot 395 and Sotheby's Hong Kong, 9 October 2012, lot 3081.
