Chait Galleries, New York, 10 May 2016A European private collection來源：美國私人收藏Ralph M. Chait Galleries，紐約，2016年5月10日歐洲私人收藏Exceptionally detailed models of Chinese ships in enamels on biscuit are rare, and more so when including representations of Europeans and details such as cannons and partially folded sails as superbly detailed on the present lot. This model of a junk is described in a 1779 inventory on Chinese porcelain in the collection of Augustus the Strong in Dresden; see a related three-glazed model of a junk, Kangxi, illustrated by E.Ströber, Maladie de Porcelaine. East Asian Porcelain in the Collection of Augustus the Strong, Berlin, 2002, p.57.The depiction of foreigners on a boat reflects not only a growing fascination in 18th century China towards the West but the Kangxi Emperor's policy of open trade from 1684, after his consolidation of power against pirates and Ming loyalists along the coast. In dealing with the issue of overseas trade (which previous Chinese governments sometimes banned), the Kangxi Emperor supported the pursuit of profit and like many European monarchs of the day, he believed that trade — including overseas trade — benefited both state and society. On the basis of this view, in 1684, the Kangxi Emperor invited foreign merchants to bring their goods to China's ports and encouraged Chinese merchants to set out from those ports for destinations in foreign lands. More important, over the subsequent thirty years, he persisted in this open-door policy, blocking every attempt to reinstate the maritime trade ban. This re-opening of trade with the West in the Kangxi reign led to interest in foreigners: their clothes, customs and belongings, and is reflected in a number of the arts of the period. Scrolls depicting tribute bearers from foreign lands were commissioned by the Court, in which figures from various countries were shown in their different costumes. On one such hand-scroll in the collection of the Palace Museum, Beijing, many of the figures are described as being from the West and the attributes of each couple are discussed in both Chinese and Manchu; see Splendors of a Flourishing Age, Macau, 1999, no.42. See a similar famille verte model of a ship with Dutchmen, Kangxi, illustrated by A.du Boulay, Christie's Pictorial History of Chinese Ceramics, Oxford, 1984, p.289, no.10 (which sold at Christie's London, 13 July 1959). Foreigners can also be seen in blanc de-Chine wares; see for example P.J.Donnelly, Blanc de Chine, London, 1969, pl.117, and a blanc-de-Chine boat with foreigners, in ibid, pl.118.
