Lot 103
Tony O'Malley HRHA (1913-2003) Summer Sea (Sunset) (1987)oil on boardsigned with initials lower left, titled and dated verso with artist's archive No: AR206824½ x 78½cm (9.6 x 30.9in)Provenance: Private Collection Tony O'Malley often painted from memory. In the mid-1970s he and his wife Jane began to visit the Bahamas, where she had relations. O'Malley had survived TB and the climate there was good for his health. In fact, the warmth, light and colour had a dramatic effect on his work, introducing him to a much lighter palette and a new repertoire of pattern and texture. All of this is evident in this composition, a mellow reflection suffused with sun and ease.
Lot 84
A rare Qianlong mark and probably period, copper red porcelain vase, the pearl body with flared mouth and foot and under an overall deep red, slightly mottled, glaze, the foot purple, the glaze stopping nearly at mouth and foot, barely visible scratch, six character seal mark in underglaze blue, 31cm. (For a similar vase, 29cm high and with a similar mark, see Sotheby's Hong Kong 8th October 2010, Lot 2656)PLEASE NOTE: THERE WILL BE NO LIVE INTERNET BIDDING ON THIS LOT, ANYBODY WISHING TO BID ON LOT 84 IS REQUIRED TO LODGE A £3,000 DEPOSIT WITH THE AUCTIONEERS NO LATER THAN 6.00PM ON WEDNESDAY 16TH OCTOBER. ANY DEPOSITS LODGED ARE FULLY REFUNDABLE IF YOU ARE NOT THE WINNING BIDDER.Generally the vase is in good overall untouched original condition with no restoration, chips, cracks or hairlines etc., although it does exhibit a slight scratch to the glaze. There are two areas where the glaze is un-uniform and significantly lighter and these areas are approx. 1cm square each. There are minor pin head sized pieces away from the glaze overall body, the foot rim appears slightly darker than the main body and there is a small original firing blemish to the underside. Except for these “minor faults” the vase is in good general overall condition with no major problems. There is interest at the £40,000 - £60,000 level. We have had several people of high stature in the Chinese ceramic world look at this and the piece is generally considered to be definitely mark and period and there are no cracks, chips, hairlines or restorations noted.
