Lot 3285
A heavily potted celadon dish with crackle design, probably intended for the South-East Asian Market; with an unglazed area on the base, 35.5 cm diameterProvenance: The Property of a Lady. From a Private UK Collection.The strong green colour here with its distinctive crackle may be an example from the Zhejang kilns [or from one of their provincial imitators]. Such wares were exported across Asia from at least the first half of the 15th Century [compare, for example, the dish collected in Borneo during the 1890's that is illustrated/Fig. 252 in the British Museum Catalogue of 'Ming/50 Years that changed China'.What can be said with some certainty is that the trading vessels that carried these various wares travelled significant distances, judging by the incidence of sherd and other remains across the geography of Sri Lanka, Syria, the Maldive Islands and Japan, to name but a few ['Blue and White/Chinese Porcelain around the world' by John Carswell, pages 110-113, refers].

Lot 3252A
Two famille rose figures of Budai He Shang, the Monk of Chan Buddhism, identified with Maitreya. One figure with a rosary in his right hand, 26cm high, the unglazed base inscribed [Zhu Maoji?; some radicals unclear]. The other figure surrounded by five children, about 26 cm high, and with two marks on the unglazed base. Both figures post Qing Dynasty [2] Provenance: The Property of a Lady. The origin of Maitreya's iconography presumably emerged at some stage after the reign of Emperor Mingdi [58-75 AD] when Buddhist Devotion is first thought to have arrived in China [page 113 of William Watson's 'The Arts of China to AD 900', refers]. Maitreya's role as a Bodhisattva takes the position of Sakyamuni's succession at an unspecified moment that is yet to come. Certainly, from the 6th Century onwards the Chan interpretation of Mahayana Buddhism spread with devotion in both the Tang and the Song evident.The association of Budai with Chan Buddhism in art may perhaps be dated to at least the first half of the 15th Century, a period that followed the Hongwu Emperor's monastic calling as a young man [See for instance the Chan Buddhist portrait thought to depict Budai and Fenggan/Metropolitan Museum of New York/Rogers Fund 1968/64.48]. Condition Report: The figure with children: there is hairline crack to the left arm and minor nibbles to the lotus flower on the figure's chest. There are two small marks to its back where the paint is absent. There is minor wear to the gilt nodules below the right hand. The other figure: gilt worn to nodules and minor scratches to the back in one area.
