A RARE CHINESE BLUE AND WHITE 'LANDSCAPE' DISH c.1660 The deep body rising from a short gently tapering foot to a flared rim, painted to the centre with a young scholar writing an inscription on a post as his lover stands by holding his inkstone, with a horse and an attendant carrying their possessions beside them, all in a mountainous river landscape, the underside decorated with a figure seated on a sampan in another vast landscape, with small dwellings dispersed throughout the setting, the base with a six character mark reading Qi shi bao ding zhi zhen, 17.4cm. The scene depicts the Han dynasty poet Sima Xiangru (179-117 BC). When he was a poor young scholar, Xiangru eloped with his beloved Zhuo Wenjun, the daughter of a wealthy gentleman. Humiliated, her father refused to support the couple, and so they lived in poverty making a living by running a roadside wine shop. Having been encouraged by his wife, Xiangru went to seek his fortune in the capital, Chang'an. Xiangru parted from Wenjun on the bridge leading to the city and vowed that he would not cross the bridge again unless he did so riding in a carriage drawn by four horses, having made his fortune. This scene shows Xiangru writing this vow on a pillar by the bridge as Wenjun holds his inkstone. Xiangru impressed the Emperor in the capital and had a successful career at court. He later returned home in his horse-drawn carriage and was received with great honour. The story is regarded as a tale of inspiration, demonstrating how hard work and ambition can lead to great success. Cf. Kangxi Porcelain Wares from the Shanghai Museum Collection, pp.64-65, no.43 for a related blue and white dish with the same mark; see also J P Stamen and C Volk, A Culture Revealed: Kangxi-Era Chinese Porcelain from the Jie Rui Tang Collection, pp.84-85, no.25 for a similar Kangxi mark and period dish; see also Sotheby's London, 15th May 2019, lot 138 for a famille verte dish painted with the same scene.1660年代 青花相如题柱紋碟《奇石寶鼎之珍》款。
Lot 19
A RARE TIBETAN-STYLE GILT AND BLACK LACQUER EWER AND COVER, DUOMUHU 18TH CENTURY The tall cylindrical body set with a slender spout to one side, with four raised bands and mounts suspending chains to form the handle, decorated in gold lacquer on a black ground with many roundels formed as blossoming branches, the flowers including orchids, chrysanthemums, lotus and prunus, the cover surmounted by a finial shaped as a crouching lion dog, 47.7cm. (2) Provenance: from the collection of the late Hubert René Joseph Georges Faure (1919-2020). Hubert Faure was the first husband of Elizabeth (Bessie) de Cuevas, who married when she was nineteen. Bessie was the daughter of Margaret Rockefeller, granddaughter of John D Rockefeller. This form of ewer is known in Chinese as a duomuhu and it is derived from the Tibetan bey lep. Bey lep literally translates as 'container for butter', but these vessels were also used to store milk, wine and milk tea in Lamaist monasteries. The shape is believed to have first appeared in China during the Yuan dynasty and, after little use in the Ming dynasty, was revived under the reign of the Kangxi Emperor (1662-1722) during the Qing dynasty. His interest in Tibet and Tibetan Buddhism led to the resurgence of the duomuhu form, notably in metalwork and porcelain. Cf. The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Lacquer Wares of the Qing Dynasty, p.182, no.135 for a comparable gold and purple lacquer duomuhu in the Qing Court Collection; see also pp.152-153, no.111 for a Qianlong period twin-dish decorated with comparable floral medallions in gold on a black lacquer ground.十八世紀 黑漆描金多穆壺來源：Hubert René Joseph Georges Faure (1919-2020)收藏，購於二十世紀初（傳）。他是Elizabeth (Bessie) de Cuevas的第一任丈夫。Bessie是Margaret Rockefeller的女兒，John D Rockefeller的外孫女。

Provenance: from the collection of Professor Peter Hariolf Plesch (14th February 1918-5th March 2013) and Gerta Regina "Traudi" Plesch OBE (4th December 1921-10th August 2013), collection no.Bv12. The bronze was purchased in summer 1961 from A Lemp, Zurich, and had previously been presented by the Chinese Government to a German individual for his services rendered.Peter and Traudi were important collectors of Chinese, Japanese and Korean Art. Their vast collection grew exponentially after their wedding in 1963 and also included many examples of Chinese, Roman and English glass, thus reflecting their eclectic taste. Peter and Traudi both came to the UK after fleeing the rise of Nazism in the 1930s. Peter left Berlin in 1933 with his father Janos Plesch, Albert Einstein’s personal doctor and friend. Traudi emigrated from Vienna with her family in 1938. Peter became Professor of Chemistry at Keele University and gained international recognition for his lifelong studies of cationic polymerisation, publishing several books and more than 150 research papers, the last just after his 90th birthday. Traudi received her OBE in 2000 for charitable services to the community in Staffordshire. In March 1959 at Sotheby’s London, Peter purchased a Ruyao narcissus bowl for £2,200 against the dealer J T Tai. It was reoffered at the same saleroom in February 1970 where it sold for £46,000 and subsequently made the front page of a UK national newspaper. On both occasions the hammer price entered the Guinness Book of Records as the highest price ever paid for any ceramic. Several pieces from the collection were lent to Oriental Ceramic Society exhibitions, including this bowl in 1960. Peter published many articles relating to Asian arts, bringing his own scientific approach to collecting, including formulating a new cataloguing system. Peter and Traudi’s collection was admired by many fellow collectors and academics. Their passion for the collection was matched by the enthusiasm of their guests, and they were known to be very welcoming to all visitors.商 青銅觯來源:Peter Hariolf Plesch教授(1918年2月14 日-2013年3月5日)和Gerta Regina ‘Traudi’ Plesch OBE (1921年12月4日-2013年8月10日)收 藏·編號Bv12。據他們的收藏筆記記載，此件 青銅觯於1961年購於蘇黎世。在此之前是中國政府送給一個為中國做出貢獻的德國人。附收藏標籤。
