Full title: A Chinese monochrome white-glazed bowl, Jinlu Dajiao Tan Yong 金箓大醮壇用 mark, JiajingDescription:Dia.: 9 cm - H.: 4,5 cm Provenance: - A Belgian private collection.- A South-German private collection. Ref.: - The British Museum, registration no. PDF,B.675 for an almost identical cup. (direct link available on rm-auctions.com) - A similar bowl, dated Xuande, is in the National Palace Museum of Taiwan. (direct link available on rm-auctions.com) Presented in a blue-lined glass-front display box, which dates back to the period of the Republic of China (1912-1949).In the well of the bowl, we find the character cha (tea) within a double circle in underglaze blue. On the base is the mark 'Jinlu Dajiao Tan yong' (for use on the Gold Record Great Sacrifice Altar) within a circle, the cobalt of a deep blue tone.Both the Taoshuo and the Jingdezhen Taolu mention a tanzhan (altar cup). The Taoshuo first quotes a passage from the Bowu Yaolan (Select Items from Things Surveyed): Small white cups, inscribed with the characters 'tea', 'wine', hot water with dates' and hot water with ginger respectively. They were Daoist ceremonial vessels for Shizong [Jiajing Emperor] and were called altar cups. They are not as good as those from the Xuande period.These cups from the Jiajing period exist in three sizes: large, medium, and small. Those with the "tea" character are of good quality, while those inscribed ‘hot water with ginger’ are of inferior quality. They are inscribed "Jinlu Dajiao Tan Yong". In Daoist terminology Jinlu is an edict from the High Lord. The Jinlu dajiao (gold register), the huanglu dajiao (yellow register), and the yulu dajiao (jade register) are three important sacrificial ceremonies. The present cup (and excavated shards) provides important information as to what was placed on the altar on such occasions. 明代嘉靖年间，有一种白瓷小杯，外底书“金籙大醮壇用”六字款，内底写“茶”、“汤”等字。这种器物，早在明代就被一些文人在著述中屡屡称赞。如文震亨《长物志》卷十二说：“世庙有坛盏，中有‘茶’‘汤’‘果’‘酒’，后有‘金箓大醮坛用’等字者亦佳。”可见，这种小杯子称“壇盞”，是“世庙”(嘉靖)的皇家用器。 嘉靖青花“金籙大醮壇用”款碗标本，明御窑厂遗址多有出土，由此可印证嘉靖宫中斋醮活动盛行。关于斋醮，这是道教独具特色的宗教仪式，斋醮即供斋醮神、设坛祭祷神灵，内容有清洁身心、设坛摆供、焚香、化符、掐诀、叩齿、存想、念咒、上章、诵经、赞颂，并配以音乐、灯烛和禹步等仪范程序。 明代嘉靖帝是个热衷于举办“金籙大醮壇”的人，目的有延寿、求嗣、祈福等。据《万历野获编》卷二记载：“每建金籙大醮壇，则上必日躬至焉。凡入直撰元诸侥臣，皆附丽其旁，即阁臣亦昼夜供事，不复至文渊阁。盖君臣上下，朝真醮斗几三十年，与帝社稷相终始。” “壇盞”是专门为“金籙大醮壇”订制的瓷器，这在历史上是独一无二的。Condition:The absence of a condition report does not imply that a lot is in perfect condition.Condition reports are provided on request.

Although little is known about the founder of the company, we know that the Lo's were a wealthy merchant family living in one of the richest areas of Canton, the district of Xiguan.Thanks to the fine quality of the pieces and to the entrepreneurial abilities of the family members, the reputation of the firm grew.

A RARE FAMILLE ROSE RUBY-PINK ENAMELED PETAL-LOBED BOWL, YONGZHENG PERIODChina, 1723-1735. The deep rounded sides supported on a short foot with a row of petals rising to a lobed rim. The interior is finely enameled with a single peony spray. A soft ruby pink glaze covers the exterior stopping neatly at the foot. The base is covered in a transparent glaze.Provenance: From an old private collection in the United Kingdom. Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear and minuscule firing irregularities.Weight: 133.3 g Dimensions: Diameter 10.9 cm Most scholars believe that pink enamel seems first to have appeared in the Chinese palette at the end of the Kangxi reign, in about AD 1720. Microscopic examination of this pink enamel has shown red particles immersed in a clear lead-potassium-silicate glass. The rose color was due to minute colloidal particles of gold. The Chinese rose enamel appears different from the European equivalent - the so-called 'Purple of Cassius', developed by Andreas Cassius of Leyden in c. 1670, for that it does not appear to have been made by the same method. The Chinese enamel has a much lower tin content and the scientists concluded that it was made not by precipitation but by making up a ruby glass and grinding this as a pigment to be dispersed in the clear enamel. The advantage of the Chinese method was that it used less gold, and it was also easier to achieve an even coloration within the enamel.Literature comparison:Compare a related ruby-pink glazed bowl with a foliate rim, 9.2 cm in diameter, dated late 18th/19th century, in the Chicago Museum of Art, accession number 1925.1007.Auction result comparison: Type: Related Auction: Christie's Hong Kong, 29 May 2013, lot 2108 Price: HKD 930,000 or approx.

It was modelled by Thomas Nicholls and coloured and gilt by Charles Campbell of Harland and Fisher. This bowl was commissioned by Burges for his own collection using the funds he received for the work. Exotic antique works of art, such as the present example, mounted with precious metals and coloured enamels are typical illustrations of Burges's enthusiasm for collecting and his antiquarian tastes. Burges commemorated his projects by having archaic items mounted and inscribed in this fashion. Another example of this, now in The Bute Collection, is his Cat Cup of 1867, an elaborately mounted Chinese crystal beaker which Burges had made for himself after his failed competition entry for the Law Courts, eventually won by G.E. Street. It is inscribed around the foot WILLIAM:BURGES:IN:REMEMBRANCE:OF:THE:LAW:COURTS:COMPETITION:AD:MDCCCLXVII.
