A SANCAI-GLAZED ‘BIRD ON PEACH’ WATER DROPPER, LATE MING TO EARLY QING DYNASTY

Published: Alice R. M. Hyland, Passion and Pursuit: The Billings Collection, Nantucket, 2002, p. 144, no. 277 (dated to the Kangxi period).
Exhibited: Nantucket Historical Association Whaling Museum, Asian Treasures from The Billings Collection, Nantucket, 26 May-1 November 2022.

China, 16th-17th century. Well modeled in the form of a small yellow bird perched atop a ripe peach with a gently curving stem forming the spout, the body of the peach serving as the water vessel with an aperture to the top, covered with finely crackled glazes of emerald-green, yellow-ochre, and aubergine tones.

Provenance: The Billings collection. David Billings is a self-described Renaissance man, researcher, and raconteur, as well as a noted scholar of Chinese art who has built an impressive collection for over fifty years, buying from dealers and auction houses including Ralph Chait, J. J. Lally, Roger Keverne, Spink, and Christie’s, among others. His wife Beverly Hall Billings, a photographer, is the daughter of the important snuff bottle collector Gerry P. Mack (1911-1992). Together, the Billings maintain a private museum of Asian art which Steven Chait has referred to as ‘Nantucket’s best kept secret’. The Billings generously share their collection through their private museum, open to the public, and through global exhibitions and publications. Recently, they collaborated with the Nantucket Historical Association to present their collection in the exhibition Asian Treasures from The Billings Collection.
Condition: Good condition with wear and firing irregularities including firing cracks, pits, and dark spots. Few nicks, minor flaking, and hairlines. Few old repairs and minor touchups.

Weight: 130.6 g
Dimensions: Height 10.4 cm, Length 9 cm

Literature comparison:
Compare a closely related sancai-glazed waterdropper in the form of a bird on a peach, dated to the Ming dynasty, 16th-17th century, in the Museum Pusat, Jakarta, illustrated in The World's Great Collections, Oriental Ceramics, Vol. 3, 1982, no. 86, where it is described as “Chiao-chin ware”, or Jiaozhi ware, a Chinese name for the North Vietnamese province ruled by the Ming for a short while in the early 15th century, also known as Cochin ware.
