A CHINESE BLUE AND WHITE MOON FLASK, each side decorated with a central spiral motif surrounded by eight tapering ogee panels with Buddhist symbols, the shoulder and sides with flower sprays beneath scroll handles and a garlic-form neck, Qing, 18th century, 10.25" high. Provenance: The Collection of Edward Cozens-Smith, Esq. (1834-1925), 16 Kensington Square, London. Acquired by the Cozens-Smith family at the Maple & Co. March 26th 1928 auction of the contents of the property following his death. Thence by descent within the Cozens-Smith family. The present lot almost certainly formed part of lot 543 in the above mentioned auction in 1928. It was described in the catalogue simply as a 'Nankin Pilgrim bottle' and can be seen in the centre of the mantelpiece in the photograph opposite showing the dining room at 16 Kensington Square around 1928. This vase exemplifies the revived interest in 15th century ceramics during the 18th century and clearly refers to Xuande and Yongle prototypes.
