Waddington's

Lot 173

Blue and White Table Top Snuff Bottle, 19th Century Of rouleau-form with gently sloping shoulders and base, finely painted with a continuous scene of warriors on horseback approaching the gates of the western city, height 4.9" — 12.5 cm. Provenance: Chinese Porcelain, Works of Art and Snuff Bottles from a Notable North York Collection (lots 163-190) Purchased in Geneva, London and Toronto during the 1960’s. Note: The illustrated scene represents a fictional event from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms involving one of the most revered strategists of the time, chancellor of the Shu Han state, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, leader of the Wei army from the rival state Cao Wei. During the first Northern Expansion, Zhuge Liang’s unsuccessful efforts to invade Chang’an left him vulnerable to attack by advancing armies. However, using reverse psychology and the “empty fort strategy,” one of 32 stratagems outlined in an early essay on politics, war, and civil interaction, Zhuge Liang was able to thwart the Wei army’s attempts. In the scene depicted on the snuff bottle, Zhuge Liang is prominently seated atop the open gates of the western city playing the guqin as the Wei army, led by Sima Yi approaches. Creating the illusion that Zhuge Liang was calm and prepared to fight, the seemingly brazen invitation to battle triggered fears of ambush and Sima Yi, along with the whole Wei army retreated. Although fictionalized, this story is one of the best-known literary examples demonstrating the “empty fort strategy”. Starting Price: $500

Lot 214

Extremely Rare Famille Verte Bowl, Kangxi Mark and Period (1664-1722) The shallow sides rising towards a smooth wide rim, all supported on a hidden foot ring and decorated with a song bird perched on a branch of flora with the design continuing along the interior, diameter 5.3" — 13.5 cm. Provenance: The Estate of Doris McCordick (1912-1977) of St. Catherines, ON, thence by descent within the family. The bowl was a gift from her brother-in-law Paul Grigaut (1905-1969) while he was chief curator of the Detroit Art Institute from 1955-1963. Paul Grigaut was an internationally renowned decorative arts and ceramics specialist who studied and taught at many institutions including the University of Paris, University of Chicago, Fogg Museum of Harvard, and Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. His research, correspondences, photographs, slides and lecture notes are all stored at the Bentley Historical Library at the University of Michigan. Note: Elegantly rendered with the sensitivity and style traditionally associated with Chinese paintings on silk or paper, the bowl depicts a solitary bird, possibly in the form of a waxwing, perched on a branch of red berries. Designs of Kangxi period bowls featuring a single bird are extremely rare with the most recent example sold in Sotheby’s Hong Kong ‘The Meiyintang Collection’, April 7 2011, lot 3. Additionally, the continuous design of twisting branches on both the interior and exterior, as seen on the present bowl, is a highly unusual feature. While this type of motif originated in the Kangxi period, it was more commonly found in Yongzheng famille rose examples of bowls and dishes. Compare to a pair of bowls with fruiting sprays and butterflies from the B. Y. Lam Foundation published in Qing Imperial Porcelain (The Chinese University of Hong Kong, 1995), no. 24. The quality of the famille verte enamels is almost identical to the present bowl, along with the shape, hidden footring, and mark. Starting Price: $10000
