Unterglasurblaue "Pfirsich"-Mondflasche 'bianhu'China, unterglasurblaue Siegelmarke Qianlong und PeriodeH. 24,4 cmAbgeflachte Form, die auf einem gespreizten rechteckigen Fuß steht und auf jeder Seite mit einer erhabenen pfirsichförmigen Kartusche in Relief versehen ist, die mit zwei Fledermäusen im Flug bemalt ist, die Pfirsiche umkreisen, die aus einem knorrigen, belaubten Zweig entspringen. Der Körper ist außerdem von sich schlängelnden Lotusrollen und zwei Lingzhi-Bändern umgeben, die entlang der Seiten verlaufen, der schmale Hals wird von einem Paar ruyi-förmiger Griffe flankiert, mit weiteren Lotusrollen und einem Dreiblattband unterhalb des umgedrehten Randes.Ehemals aus einer alten Berliner Privatsammlung, vor 2007 gesammelt Die Form der vorliegenden Mondflasche ist von Prototypen aus dem frühen 15. Jahrhundert aus der Yongle-Zeit inspiriert. Diese wiederum leiten ihre Form von islamischen Metallflaschen ab. Die subtile und abwechslungsreiche blau-weiße Farbgebung imitiert das aus der frühen Ming-Dynastie importierte Kobaltblau mit hohem Eisengehalt, was zu dunkelblauen Flecken auf der Oberfläche führt, die auch als "Heaped-and-piled" Effekt bekannt sind. Diese Mondflasche gehört zu einer Gruppe von kaiserlichem Porzellan, das von der kaiserlichen Haushaltsabteilung entworfen wurde - etwa dreißig an der Zahl -, die im kaiserlichen Archiv der Qing-Dynastie als Tagesunporzellan bezeichnet werden und in der Herbst- und Wintersaison an den kaiserlichen Hof geschickt wurden. Diese Entwürfe wurden bis zum fünfundzwanzigsten Jahr der Daoguang-Periode, d. h. 1845-6, hergestellt, obwohl die Menge vom Kaiserlichen Haushaltsministerium streng kontrolliert wurde; siehe Wang Guangyao, Official Designs and Imperial Porcelain: The Palace Museum's Collection of Official Porcelain Designs and Porcelains from Imperial Kilns of the Qing Dynasty, Beijing, 2007, S. 15-16. Ähnliche Mondflaschen finden sich in bedeutenden Museumssammlungen: siehe T. Yoneyma, Qing Dynasty Porcelain from the Seikado Bunko Art Museum, Tokyo, 2006, S. 58, Nr. 49; eine weitere im Nanjing Museum, abgebildet in The Official Kiln Porcelain of the Chinese Qing Dynasty, Shanghai, 2004, S. 220; vgl. auch eine weitere aus dem Indianapolis Museum of Art, abgebildet in Beauty and Tranquility: The Eli Lilly Collection of Chinese Art, Indianapolis, 1983, Nr. 116.

A Les Islettes faience plate, circa 1810-15Decorated with a scene of a soldier on horseback, seated on a white steed, holding a sword aloft, set in a naturalistic environment, 27.5cm (haircrack to the rim)Footnotes:Provenance: Charles Bourdet Collection, thence toCollection of Daniele Lasser, New York, NYLikely painted by Dupré the Elder. Virginia Harriman (Detroit Bulletin of the Detroit Institute of Arts, Vol XXXII, number 1, 1952-53 ) has written on this often marginalised later production of French faience:'In 1786 the faience industry, which had throughout the century been struggling against governmental restrictions imposed for the protection of the porcelain factories, and against the growing competition of both German and Chinese porcelain, suffered a fatal blow - France signed an agreement removing the prohibitive importation duty on the fine industrial pottery of England.By 1850, there were almost no ordinary faience factories in operation. Les Islettes, founded in 1764, was one of the few to enjoy prosperity into the first quarter of the 19th century, perhaps because of its topical specialty - popular commemorative wares of the Napoleonic Wars. Chinoiserie represents an earlier style, favoured at all the factories of eastern France in the second half of the 18th century. At Les Islettes, it was the specialty of a particular painter, the elder Dupré, who in later years added to his fanciful Chinamen the sideburns of Napoleon's soldiers.'This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
