I , pl.35a). The print was also inscribed with verses comparing the inferior pleasures of Music to those of Love (Hervouet and Bruneau, 1986, p. 189). Other dishes with this scene exist, several vary in details such as the landscape scenes in the petal cartouches and some are closer to the original print than the present piece; compare examples in - the Princessehof Museum, Leeuwarden, Netherlands. (Leeuwarden, 1986, no.100)- the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. (Godden, 1979, no.21)- the Manchester Art Gallery, Great Britain. (Hobson, 1925, pl. XXIX, fig.3)- the Mottahedeh collection. (Howard and Ayers, 1978, vol.I, pl.35).Ê This 'music party' print is one of a number of late 17th-century costume prints and other Chinese porcelain designs exist of ladies with similar elaborate hair-styles, fashionable in France and named the "coiffure, a la Duchesse de Fontanges" after the mistress of Louis XIV (1661-1715), who established its popularity. This print also inspired the decoration of Dutch Delft faience pieces such as an early 18th-century violin at the Musee de Rouen, France (Beurdeley, 1962, fig. 11).Please contact us to let us know which lots are of interest, so we can make the requested report for you.Once complete, it will be published on our website.High resolution pictures are already available on our website at www.rm-auctions.com.

Lot 515
Full title: A Chinese blue and white Augsburg gilt-mounted bowl, ex- coll. August the Strong, KangxiDescription: L.: 29 cm - H.: 9,5 cm (incl. mounts)Ê Provenance: With an engraved inventory number from the collection of August the Strong.Ê The Saxon elector and Polish king Augustus the Strong was a major proponent of porcelain in the early 18th century. His love for the material drove him to imprison a talented young alchemist named Johann Friedrich Böttger in hopes of finding the formula for white porcelain, which at that time was a secret known only in China and Japan.Ê When Böttger perfected the recipe for porcelain in 1709, Augustus the Strong quickly founded the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory—the first porcelain manufactory in Europe—revolutionizing the porcelain market worldwide. He eventually amassed what is still the largest collection of Chinese and Japanese porcelain in the West, and began plans for a palace built to store the royal collection—an ambition that ultimately remained a dream.Ê The number of Chinese and Japanese porcelain Augustus the Strong collected grew to 29,000 until his death in 1733. Roughly 8000 pieces from his collection are still preserved in Dresden. They are actually the subject of a major cataloguing, digitization, and research project of the Dresden Porcelain Collection, something experts from all over the world are working on. The remaining third can be considered as a representative cross section of the original collection. The other pieces were dispersed throughout the world in many different ways: In the 19th century, when the Porcelain Collection tried to turn itself into a museum of world ceramics, so-called duplicates were sold or given away in exchanges. When Saxony became a republic in 1918, parts of the porcelain collection became public whereas others stayed with the royal family and were partly auctioned. More losses occurred during the Second World War, when the collections were moved to different repositories outside of Dresden and later to Russia, from where the biggest part returned to Dresden in 1958. Today, we can recognize the pieces originally in the collection of Augustus the Strong thanks to their historic inventory numbers. They are treasured objects in public as well as private collections and in the art market.Please contact us to let us know which lots are of interest, so we can make the requested report for you.Once complete, it will be published on our website.High resolution pictures are already available on our website at www.rm-auctions.com.

Lot 977
Full title: A Chinese luanbai bowl with molded design of characters and floral sprigs, YuanDescription: Dia.: 19 cm - H.: 7,5 cmÊ Provenance: A Belgian private collection, acquired in the 1990's.Ê Ref.: Sotheby's, London, Nov. 6, 2013, lot 248, for another bowl of this type. (link available on our website)Ê Shufu ware (Luan bai): very rare Chinese white porcelain ware made during the Yuan dynasty (1206-1368) in the village of Hutian just outside the city of Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province. It is thought to be the first known porcelain ordered by imperial officials. The body of the ware is covered with a soft, white, bluish opaque glaze similar to qingbai, but contains less calcium oxide resulting in slight translucency rather than transparency. The bases are unglazed and the paste is of the typical early natural porcelain clay of Jingdezhen. Some have relief decoration. The ware takes its name from the Chinese characters shu and fu, which appear in low relief on the interior on some bowls and dishes (literally "central palace," or "privy council"). These are believed to have been made for the Shumiyuan, a government department. Other auspicious characters also appear on porcelains of this type, some of which were exported.Ê Luanbai (egg white glaze) and shufu are two different names for the same glaze, the same confusion we run into with yingqing and qingbai. The term shufu became the accepted name (and more often used) as so many items with this glaze bore the characters of shu and fu in relief on their interiors. Their glaze was more opaque than that of qingbai and had a silky rather than a glossy texture, hence the ware's other name luanbai (egg white).Ê During the Yuan period the Jingdezhen potters made some relatively minor adjustments to the highly successful qingbai glaze's composition creating two new glazes, the shufu/luanbai glaze and as a further developement the glaze used with underglaze blue decoration. The basic difference between qingbai, shufu/luanbai and the glaze on the underglaze blue wares is the amount of calcium oxide they contai. Qingbai contains 12-13%, shufu/luanbai 5-6%, and the glaze used on Yuan blue and white wares was 8-10%.
