Lot 278
A RARE CHINESE PORCELAIN-INLAID LACQUER LARGE TABLESCREEN, one side decorated in gilt with a warrior-guardian, the other side with a porcelain-inlaid calligraphy poem relating to tea drinking, the giltwood stand with scroll supports and a foliate-carved apron, Qing, 17th/18th century, 44.5" high overall. Provenance: Private collection, West Dorset. Porcelain-inlaid calligraphic panels are very rare, making the present lot an exciting discovery. It has been suggested that the technique was first used by the renowned kiln supervisor Tang Ying (1682-1756) owing to several extant examples bearing his signature. It seems likely that this tablescreen is near contemporary with Tang Ying's period of operation. For a discussion of the subject, see Huang Qing-Hua, 'The Forgotten, Excellent Tang Kilns: A first look into the couplets and hanging panels for Tang Ying porcelains', The National Palace Museum Monthly of Chinese Art, no.363, June 2013, pp.110-119. For a related pair of porcelain-inlaid lacquer calligraphic panels, see Sotheby's, Hong Kong, 8th October 2013, lot 3081.
Lot 30
A FINE CHINESE BLUE AND WHITE BOTTLE VASE, the slightly tapering body with Persian-inspired decoration arranged in vertical panels, each showing two flowerheads on a stem with alternating leaves and tendrils, the latter also with ruyi spandrels at the top and bottom, the shoulder of the vase with a bold lappet band beneath a straight neck with further flowerheads and leafy tendrils, the base with a Qianlong sealmark and of the period, 12" high. Provenance: The Collection of Edward Cozens-Smith, Esq. (1834-1925), 16 Kensington Square, London. Acquired by the Cozens-Smith family at the Maple & Co. March 26th 1928 auction of the contents of the property following his death. Thence by descent within the Cozens-Smith family. The present lot was almost certainly part of lot 444 in the above mentioned auction. Rather amusingly, it was sold with three Nankin meat dishes and a pair of brass candlesticks, and was described simply as a 'Nankin bottle vase'. The lot apparently sold for £1.2.6. It can be seen in the illustration opposite showing the Tudor Style Lounge at 16 Kensington Square in the brochure for the sale of the house in 1928. This vase is a fine example of the revival during the Qianlong period of the assimilation of Islamic decoration into the repertoire of Chinese porcelain. The shape of the vase derives from 13th century Islamic metal vessels. It appears to have been first copied by Chinese potters in the early 15th century in ewer form, as exemplified by a ewer from The Avery Brundage Collection at the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco (B60P85). The current vase belongs to a group of very similar bottle vases made during the Qianlong period. For a directly comparable example see Sotheby's New York, 11th September 2012, Lot 50.
