Parry (1879-1977), London, acquired from the above on 30 June 1933, and thence by descentPublished, Illustrated and Exhibited: Royal Academy of Arts, International Exhibition of Chinese Art, London, 1935-1936, p.252, no.2957.來源：倫敦古董商Spink & Son Ltd.倫敦E. A. Parry夫人（1879-1977）舊藏，於1933年6月30日購自上者，並由後人保存迄今展覽著錄：皇家藝術學院，《中國藝術國際展覽會》，倫敦，1935-1936年，頁252，編號2957The present lot was exhibited in one of the most historic and prestigious exhibitions of Chinese art ever held. The exhibition's importance is reflected by its patrons who not only included King George V and Queen Mary, but also the President of the Chinese Republic. The committee of honour included luminaries such as Hu Shi and Cai Yuanpei; and the executive committee counted among its members renowned collectors and scholars such as R.L.Hobson, George Eumorfopoulos and Sir Percival David. With 3077 exhibits, it was not only one of the largest exhibitions of Chinese art, but many of the exhibits, including rare objects from the Palace Museum were seen in Europe for the first time. In this extraordinary exhibition, the present lot was amongst the very few Imperial Qianlong period lacquer wares chosen to be included, alongside a red lacquer 'chrysanthemum' dish, Qianlong mark and of the period, inscribed with an Imperial poem, lent by Sir Percival David, who was the Director of the Exhibition Committee.Compare with an identical lacquer chrysanthemum-shaped tea bowl and cover, also gilt decorated with two Qianlong seal marks and an inscribed Imperial poem, in the Qing Court Collection, illustrated in Lacquer Wares of the Qing Dynasty: The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Hong Kong, 2006, pp.215, no.164. See also another identical bowl in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, gifted by Sir Harry Garner, illustrated by H.Garner, Chinese Lacquer, London-Boston, p.150, pl.97.The present bowl and cover were made by Imperial commission by artisans in Suzhou specialising in the 'hollow dry-lacquer' technique, with the inscriptions then carved in the Imperial Workshop in Beijing. With remarkably thin and delicate walls, the 'chrysanthemum' petals of the cover perfectly fit the fluted bowl, representing the highest quality of Qing Imperial lacquer craftsmanship. The interior of the bowl and the cover both have a gilt inscription of a poem by the Qianlong Emperor, dated 1776 which compares the vessel to a chrysanthemum flower. The poems may be translated as follows: 'It is made in the form of a fragrant chrysanthemum,And yet it is even more delicate,Drinking tea from it may be likened to sipping dew,from a newly plucked blossom.Imperially inscribed in the Spring of the Bingshen year of the Qianlong reign'.The Qianlong Emperor's poem likens drinking tea from this cup to drinking dew from a chrysanthemum: a fairy-like experience reserved for poets, Immortals and sages. The chrysanthemum was long associated with the poet Tao Yuanming (365-427) who lived during the turbulent transition between the Jin and Liu Song dynasties. To escape the political turmoil, he retired in midlife to a small estate to live out his days in rustic obscurity, drinking wine and writing poetry. Private and quiet as his life was, Tao's reputation grew steadily after his death, particularly for his associations with chrysanthemums, which he grew in a small patch by the eastern fence of his retirement estate; see S.Nelson, 'Revisiting the Eastern Fence: Tao Qian's Chrysanthemums', The Art Bulletin, 2001, vol.83, no.3, pp.437-460. The chrysanthemum, an autumnal flower, together with Tao's poetry of retirement, came to encapsulate the eremitic ideal of the scholar returning to nature for quiet contemplation. Over time, the chrysanthemum, together with the bamboo, orchid and prunus was regarded as one of the 'Four Gentlemanly Flowers': flowers that represented Confucian ideals to be emulated by true gentlemen. As such, the chrysanthemum flower provided much inspiration to artists and craftsmen from as early as the Song dynasty. Bowls and vessels decorated with chrysanthemum motifs were traditional gifts bestowed at Imperial celebrations, particularly during the Double Ninth festival (occurring on the ninth day of the ninth month) or Double Yang festival, where it was customary to climb a high mountain, drink chrysanthemum liquor and wear chrysanthemum flowers. Chrysanthemums were considered to have cleansing qualities and were used in medicine to cure illness and thus were also emblematic of longevity and fertility, because of the multitude of their petals. Chrysanthemums appear to have been popular motifs decorating vessels produced during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor, and because of the flowers' association with longevity, it is possible that the Emperor took an increasing interest in the motif as he approached retirement. See also a red lacquer chrysanthemum-shaped box and cover, Qianlong seal mark and of the period, with gilt poetic inscription, from the Qing Court Collection, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Lacquer Wares of the Qing Dynasty, Shanghai, 2006, p.216, no.165.The Qianlong Emperor's enthusiasm for the chrysanthemum motif may also have been inspired by a powerful predecessor of his, the Yongle Emperor. On a red lacquer 'chrysanthemum' dish, Qianlong mark and of the period, illustrated by J.Ayers, Chinese and Japanese Works of Art in the Collection of Her Majesty The Queen, London, 2016, vol.III, p.848, no.1954, there is a poem dated 1774, the title of which is 'In praise of a chrysanthemum dish made in imitation of the vermillion lacquer of the reign of the Yongle Emperor' (Yong fang Yongle zhuqi juhua pan). The Ming dynasty Yongle Emperor (1403-1424) was one of the most energetic and powerful rulers in Chinese history. Under his vibrant reign, numerous technical heights were reached in the production of porcelain and lacquer. Not to be outdone, the Qianlong Emperor also may have felt that he wished to appropriate the chrysanthemum form of lacquerware for himself, as both a homage to former glorious Emperors and also as a subtle expression of his own stature. Compare with an identical cinnabar lacquer 'chrysanthemum' bowl and cover, Qianlong seal mark and of the period, which was sold at Bonhams Hong Kong, 24 November 2013, lot 342.本拍品曾借展...
