TWO JAPANESE PARCEL-GILT BRONZE SAWASA BOXES EDO PERIOD, MID-18TH CENTURYThe larger of square form, the cover decorated with a shaped gilt panel depicting a shishi and two birds in flight by a large flowering peony, all rendered in relief against a granulated background, reserved on a black lacquer ground detailed with gilt engraved lotus and a bird in each corner; the sides with gilt waves and blossom sprays alternating with formal lotus scrolls, the base and the inside gilt, 4.5cm x 10.8cm x 10.8cm; the smaller box of rectangular form, decorated all over with panels of gilt foliate scrolls in low relief against a granulated black lacquer background framed by gilt borders, the hinged cover centred with a formal lotus flower, the base lacquered black and the interior gilt, 1.8cm x 4.3cm x 3cm. (3)Sawasa pieces, historically labelled 'Tonkin Ware' and thought to be of Chinese origin, have now been re-evaluated as being Japanese, manufactured from the mid-18th century in Nagasaki for export via Deshima. The larger box and cover is closely related to the circular incense boxes and covers in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, illustrated in M De Brujin et al., Sawasa: Japanese export art in black and gold, 1650-1800, pp.107-110, nos.E.5.1 to E.5.7. The smaller piece, similar to Western snuff boxes, features the unusual arrangement of gilding to the highpoints and black lacquer to the background, in a fashion similar to a cup and cover in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, illustrated in op. cit., p.94, no.D.5.1. Its European shape is typical of Sawasa ware, which generally took its forms from Dutch originals, ranging from snuff and tobacco boxes to tea sets and coffee urns.

A JAPANESE PARCEL-GILT BRONZE SAWASA TOBACCO BOXEDO PERIOD, MID-18TH CENTURY Of compressed oval form, the hinged cover decorated with a bracket-lobed panel enclosing two ho-o birds in flight above a large peony with a shishi underneath, all lacquered black against a gilt granulated background; the base with another panel depicting a Chinese landscape, with birds among fruiting branches issued from rockwork before two pavilions, the sides with birds among flowering and fruiting stems, the interior gilt, 2.3cm x 7cm x 9cm.The present lot is closely related to contemporary European tobacco boxes, particularly those of Dutch manufacture. This feature is typical of Sawasa ware, which generally took its forms from Western originals and included articles such as snuff and tobacco boxes, drinking utensils, sword hilts and other small accessories. Sawasa pieces were made in Nagasaki and exported from Deshima via the VOC, contrary to the earlier understanding that it was of Chinese origin and accordingly labelled 'Tonkin Ware'. A related group of Sawasa tobacco boxes are in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, illustrated in M De Brujin et al., Sawasa: Japanese export art in black and gold, 1650-1800, pp.57-62, nos.B.1.1 to B.4.2. Examples nos.B.2.2 and B.2.3 also feature panels of Chinese landscapes similar to that on the base of the piece offered here.

A bright and memorable example of late Russian Art Nouveau, a silver cloisonne enamels snuff box - from the 6th Moscow artel. The snuff box has a discreet, octagonal shape and carries an impressive ensemble of geometric belts, floral and natural decorations. On the hinged lid there is a title picture of a fairy-tale flower-tree with fruits and berries that grew on the edge of an epic forest. In the corners it is surrounded by an ambivalent motif of a green wave from a dove-gray field, which, in the upper corners, personifies rainy skies and clouds, and in the lower register - the biosphere of lake and meadow grasses. The spiral pyramids of the central axis, above and below, bear the imprints of the elements of air and fertile earth. The sides of the body, in addition to the geometric belt of rhombuses and spirals, are decorated with alternating fields of fabulous flowering and water origin, the beginning and half a day of life. Corner cuts form dynamic, diagonal compositions on a light background. On the base of the snuff box there are Moscow hallmarks of 84 silver samples from 1908-1917, and mark 6 of the Moscow jewelry artel. On the inner edge of the edging there are a pair of imported French stamps. Swans in an oval. Dimensions: 2.5 x 8 x 6.6 cm. Total weight: 130.0 g.

Attributed to Jean Georges Remond and Company, circa 1810. Gold octagonal snuffbox with decorative belts, guilloche and painted enamel: Belisarius begging, on a hinged lid. The installed octagonal enamel plate is based on the 1781 painting of the same name by Jacques-Louis David. It depicts the beggar Flavius Belisarius (505–565), commander of the Eastern Roman Empire. Illustrates the sad legend about the old age of the famous commander. At the end of his life, he fell out of favor with the emperor, and ended his life as a blind beggar, having experienced the transience of fame and human ingratitude. Belisariuss hands represent despair and a plea for mercy. The guide boy hands over the heros helmet, where the alms are placed by a woman in ancient clothes, shocked by the unexpected meeting with the former arbiter of destinies. Enamel miniature and deep cobalt blue guilloche enamel with black leaf silhouettes, decorated with a floral frame, a belt with garlands and stylized rams heads. On the reverse side it is decorated with an empire belt of rising suns and spikelets. The side sections are gracefully decorated with motifs of double palmettes. A similar gold enamel box is part of the Khalili collection, which includes several works by Jean-Georges Remond. Although the miniature is not signed, it is quite obvious that it is the work of Jean-Abraham Lissignol. Lissignols work is characterized by extremely fine brush strokes, executed with a single hair, combined with a pointillistic technique, which can often be found on the snuff boxes of Jean Georges Remont. Switzerland. Case: 18K gold, guilloche and polychrome enamel. Dimensions 94 x 65 x 15 mm, approx. 1810, weight 146 g.

A related Yixing lotus brush washer, also by Chen Mingyuan, Kangxi, is illustrated by P.Moss, The Literati Mode: Chinese Scholar Paintings, Calligraphy and Desk Objects, London, 1986, p.228, no.104.Chen Mingyuan stands out as a significant figure in the rich legacy of Yixing stoneware, despite the scarcity of historical documentation about his life. The specific dates of his birth and passing remain elusive, yet contemporary scholarship generally places Chen within the Kangxi/Yongzheng period (1662-1735), or potentially as early as the Shunzhi/Kangxi era (1644-1722). Chen adopted various artistic names, including Hefeng, Hecun, Shixia shanren, and Huyin. His exceptional talent and masterful craftsmanship are lauded in traditional assessments of Yixing pottery. In A Pictorial Study of Yangxian Pottery Teapots (Yangxian shahu tu kao) by Li Jingkang and Zhang Hong (1937:12), Chen's remarkable skills in crafting teapots and scholar's objects are likened to those of Xu Youquan and Shen Ziche, contemporaries who were equally revered alongside the renowned master Shi Dabin. Surviving examples attest to the significant interest in producing objects for the scholar's studio at the end of the Ming dynasty. In this context, Chen Mingyuan emerges as a pivotal figure, arguably the foremost successor and innovator in advancing this artistic tradition during the early Qing period.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
