Lot 200
Full title: A pair of fine Chinese famille rose trembleuse stands or 'mancerina', QianlongDescription:L.: 25,5 cm – H.: 4 cm (the stands)Dia.: 7 cm – H.: 4,5 cm (the cups) Provenance:- The collection of Tove and Karl Emil Stromstad (born 1936), Norway. - Acquired in 1894 by or from Thomas WU (?), for the price of GBP 5.50 each, according to the label on the base. Ref.:- Christie's, The Tibor Collection, New York, April 10, 2019, for a nearly identical pair. (sold USD 5.000) (External link available on rm-auctions.com)The accompanying text states:The mancerina is closely associated with the Hispanic market and with the Spanish custom of chocolate drinking. Both chocolate and silver of course came from the Spanish New World, so it is fitting that this form was often made in silver as well as in Spanish maiolica. It is said that the 2nd Marques de Mancera, Viceroy of New Spain 1664-1673, had a palsied hand and thus needed the all-in-one cupstand, which took his name, though none survive from this early period. Interestingly, a very similar form exists in Chinese ceramics of the Song period, which may have influenced the development of the export examples.For a Mexican silver mancerina see H.R. Borrell et al, The Grandeur of Viceregal Mexico, p. 380. An almost identical single export mancerina is in the Museo Nacional de Historia, Mexico City, and illustrated by M. Priyadarshini, Chinese Porcelain in Colonial Mexico, p. 123. - Denver Art Museum, Accession Number 2017.143, for a similar yet less elaborate example. (External link available on rm-auctions.com)The accompanying text by Jorge Rivas Perez states: This large Chinese famille rose mancerina decorated with flowers is a specialized item found in chocolate services. The mancerina is a deep, wide saucer, often in the shape of a seashell, with a cup holder in the center to hold the jÃcara (chocolate cup) in place and prevent it from tipping over. It was invented in Mexico in the mid-1600s and named after Don Antonio Sebastian alvarez de Toledo Molina y Salazar, 2nd Marquis of Mancera, and Grandee of Spain (c. 1608 - 1715), a Spanish nobleman who was Viceroy of New Spain (Mexico) from 1664 to 1673.Mancerinas became very fashionable across the Spanish empire during the colonial period and were manufactured in both silver and ceramic. In the 18th C., thanks to the trade with Asia via the Manila Galleon, porcelain mancerinas were also produced in China for the Mexican market. This example, a Qianlong period (1736-1795) famille rose mancerina decorated with flowers from circa 1760-70, is representative type of the Asian export wares for the Spanish market.Condition reports:Condition reports (unless otherwise specified above):Please contact us on info@rm-auctions.com to request a condition report.

Lot 201
Full title: A rare Chinese famille rose holy water stoup and cover, QianlongDescription:H.: 21 cm Provenance:An old Portuguese private collection. Ref.: - Bonham's, Cohen & Cohen 50 - Years of Chinese Export Porcelain, New York, January 24, 2023, for another example. (sold USD 6.375) (External link available on rm-auctions.com) The lot essay states:Stoups are intended to hold small quantities of holy water for people to dip their fingers in before making the sign of the cross. They were often placed at the entrances to churches or holy sites.The form is known in Delftware, faience and metalwork but is rare in Chinese export porcelain. Dias, 1996, suggests that the presence of a cover means it was probably for private use rather than in a church where continual daily use negated its need. A pair of the same type and decoration as this can be found in the Museu da Fundação Ricardo do EspÃrito Santo Silva, Lisbon. A few examples are known in blue and white of similar shape, marked IHS to the back plate, for usy by Jesuits. Further references: Antunes, 2000, p. 55, no. 39, a pair identical to this example, in the collection of Ricardo do EspÃrito Santo Silva, also published Antunes, 1999, p. 91; Dias, 1996, p. 52-3, discussion of such pieces; Sargent, 2012, p. 310, a blue and white example in the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, MA (AE85322.ab) purchased from Cohen & Cohen in 1996 and reference to a second example in the museum (E82867) purchased from Cohen & Pearce in 1990; a fragment of a blue and white back plate, now in the Bangkok National Museum, Thailand, was excavated in 1984 from San Petro, a Dominican church destroyed by the Burmese in 1767, at Ayutthaya, a former Portuguese settlement; Cohen & Cohen, 2014, no. 22, a further blue and white example; Sapage, 1992, cat. 24, a blue and white example of different shape with back-plate in the form of a crucifix, and inscribed IHS; Pinto de Matos, 2011, Vol. 3, p. 194, no. 492, a blue and white cruciform stoup.Condition reports:Condition reports (unless otherwise specified above):Please contact us on info@rm-auctions.com to request a condition report.

Lot 210
Full title: A pair of Chinese blue and white plates with the arms of the De Pinto family for the Portuguese market, KangxiDescription:Dia.: 21,5 cm The coat of arms belongs to the De Pinto family. It has five crescents (two-one-two) and the crest of a plume of three ostrich feathers. The arms on several examples differ from the original with inverted crescents and once ovals. The De Pinto family of Portugal bore a white shield with five red crescents, and in blue this should have been painted as blue crescents on a white ground. (Howard & Ayers, 1978, p.63), (Kroes 2007, p.107)The De Pinto family were Jewish and came from Spain and Portugal, arriving in Rotterdam and Amsterdam about the middle of the 17th century. Later, in the third quarter of that century, they also settled in The Hague. The De Pintos became very wealthy and lived in grand style in patrician homes and landed estates. Several members of this family could have commissioned this porcelain, such as David Emanuel (1652-1712) or one of his three cousins: Mozes (c.1654-1729), Aron (died 1718) and Joseph (died 1740). Mozes and Aron lived in The Hague and the famous philosopher Isaac de Pinto (1717-1787) was Aron's grandson. David Emanuel and Joseph both lived in the Sint Antoniesbreestraat in the Jewish quarter of Amsterdam. David Emanuel, the wealthiest member of his family, probably commissioned this armorial service. David Emanuel de Pinto (born Rotterdam, 1652; died Amsterdam, 27 October 1712) inherited his patrician house in Sint Antoniesbreestraat, no.69, from his father Isaac who had bought it in 1651 for fl.30,000.

Lot 216
Full title: A pair of Chinese eggshell Pronk studio 'parrot and spaniel' plates, Yongzheng/QianlongDescription:Dia.: 20,5 cmThis is a fine example of this rare design, traditionally attributed to the Pronk workshop, though it is probably not by Carnelis Pronk himself.The VOC set up a venture in the 1730's to make very high quality porcelains in China to specific designs produced in the West, but in the Chinese style. They employed Dutch artist Cornelis Pronk to make designs for these and he produced four sets of drawings over about three and half years that were sent out to Batavia. From there the designs were taken to Canton and the production was commissioned by Chinese agents. The designs were elaborate and used bright enamel colouring. Eventually these proved too expensive and the venture was abandoned in about 1740, though some of the designs were revived in the later 18th century, including the Parasol design for which an original drawing survives - and a ‘flowers and moth’ design recombining details from prints by Marie Sybilla Merian - which had also been used for various other details in the Pronk designs.What remains today is a rare and fascinating range of porcelains, with distinctive colouring and of a very high quality. Thus they have an appeal to serious collectors of Chinese porcelain. As the problems had developed with the costs of manufacture it seems likely that the Dutch agents in Batavia tried to simplifiy the designs and to broaden the range of designs. One pattern that was introduced featured the 'parrot and spaniel' design on the present pair, taken from a Meissen service of about 1732 using a chinoiserie drawing by Petrus Schenk.Parrots were a quick short hand for the exoticism of the Far East and also popular as pets and so a few different examples appear on designs in the Pronk workshop at this time.

Full title: An exceptional Chinese blue and white nine-piece sweetmeat set, KangxiDescription:Dia.: 36,5 cm (the entire set)Dim.: 16 x 16 cm (the center piece)Dim.: 13 x 12 cm (the side pieces) Presented on a custom-made stand. Provenance:- A Dutch private collection. - Acquired from Vanderven Oriental Art, The Netherlands, with their labels on the base of each dish. - A Dutch private collection. Accompanying text (source: Vanderven Oriental Art): A porcelain food tray for sweetmeats, consisting of a central star-shaped dish surrounded by eight lappet-shaped dishes. The dishes have a double raised edge, in a brown colour, which may have been gilded. Each dish is painted with ladies involved in various domestic activities. The scenes are set in the garden as well as indoors, some also include playing children. Each scene is different - the central dish portrays two ladies playing weiqi and one of the side dishes portrays a lady playing the qin. The decoration of elongated slender ladies on porcelain was a particularly popular motif during the Kangxi period. They were known as mei ren (beautiful women) in Chinese and became known as Lange Lijzen ('Long Elizas') in Dutch. This term, which was coined in The Netherlands, is now a generic term used to describe a decor of domestic scenes with elegant Chinese ladies. Sweetmeat sets were also produced in other glazes, decoration and shapes, for the domestic market as well as for export. Even though individual dishes are quite often found in the market, complete sets are now rare. The Topkapi Museum (Istanbul) has various incomplete sets with a similar decor. Complete sets, but in famille verte enamels, are in the Victoria & Albert Museum, London and The Peabody Essex Museum (Salem).Condition reports:Condition reports (unless otherwise specified above):Please contact us on info@rm-auctions.com to request a condition report.
