(sold EUR 7.650) (link)Ref.: - Howard and Ayers, China For the West, vol.1, p. 305, where the authors suggest that the figures are wearing Ottoman costumes, that this was undoubtedly a specially commissioned design since the shapes of the pieces are those of tea-services used in England and the Continent c.1740, and that it illustrates music played 'eastward of the Levant'.

Lot 617
A rare set of ten Chinese famille rose 'erotic' nesting bowls, Daoguang mark and of the period Dia.: 11 cm (the largest) Dia.: 4,5 cm (the smallest) Erotic art is an eminent part of the cultural heritage of ancient China, and was already flourishing in pre-Imperial times. With its peak during the late-Ming period, this art remained a fixed feature in Chinese literature and visual arts until well into the 20th century. Chinese erotic art is a search for beauty in all its manifestations, for not only does it offer stimulation, it provides a source of great aesthetic pleasure. It never presents sex in a crude or pornographical way, but within a framework of beauty and harmony, enhanced with details of a profound or symbolic nature.

Lot 565
A rare Chinese rose-grisaille cup and saucer after 'Actors of the Comedie-Francaise' by Watteau, Yongzheng/Qianlong Dia.: 7,3 cm - H.: 3,9 cm (the cup) Dia.: 11,7 cm (the saucer) Provenance: - A Belgian private collection. - Acquired from an American private collection in the region of Portland, Oregon.Ref.: - The State Hermitage Museum, inventory number ГÐ-1131, for the original painting 'Les Acteurs de la Come;die-Française' also known as 'Coquettes qui pour voir' or 'La Mascarade' by the French painter Jean Antoine Watteau (1684-1721), painted in 1711-1712. By the mid-18th C., the work belonged to Louis Antoine Crozat (1699-1770), Baron de Thiers, the younger brother of the Parisian merchant and art collector Pierre Crozat. It was acquired in 1772 for Empress Catherine II of Russia and has since been among the Russian imperial collections in the Hermitage and the Gatchina Palace. Now part of the museum's permanent exhibition, it remains on display in the Winter Palace. (link) (see reference image 7) - The National Library of Spain, inventory number bdh0000144141, for the engraving by Henri Simon Thomassin (1688-1741), which probably served as the example for a smaller version as explained below. (link) (see reference image 8) - The National Academy of Lincei, Italy, inventory number S-FC53606, for a small version by an unknown publisher, which was likely sent to China where it served as the source for the design of this tea service. It was a common practice for European merchants to send small versions of large engravings (mostly after important paintings) to the Chinese workshops, to have them reproduced on porcelain. (link) (see reference image 9) - A single cup of this service is in the Lurie collection. Given the rarity of this design we can assume that only one service was ordered and/or made it back to Europe. It was likely a French command, possibly from the entourage of the brothers Pierre and Louis Antoine Crozat. Pierre was one of the principal advisors to Philippe II, Duke of Orle;ans, and it was only after his death in 1740 that his collection passed to his younger brother, Louis Antoine, Baron de Thiers. After his death in 1770, the work found its permanent home in Russia through a sale brokered by the famous philosopher Denis Diderot, a prominent figure during the Age of Enlightenment. Our sincere thanks to Will Motley and Peter Greendyke for their kind help with the description of this lot.

Lot 799
A rare Chinese Canton famille rose lozenge-shaped 'fisherman, woodcutter, farmer and scholar æ¼æ¨µè€•è®€åœ–' vase, Qianlong H.: 38,4 cm (incl. stand) H.: 33,2 cm (the vase) This vase depicts the four noble professions of ancient China: fisherman, woodcutter, farmer, and scholar 'æ¼æ¨µè€•è®€'. Fisherman, woodcutter, farmer and scholar, are four relatively important occupations in Chinese farming society and represent the basic lifestyle of the working people in ancient China. Many are also performed by officials after their retirement. Therefore, traditional Chinese folk paintings often use fishermen, woodcutters, and farmers as theme, and many classical furniture often use these same professions as their carving design, which means that business is flourishing. This is a less common design on Chinese porcelain, which makes this piece an interesting collectible.
