A RARE PUCE-ENAMELED BALUSTER VASE, CHINA, 18TH-19TH CENTURY

Delicately potted, the elegantly shaped body rises from a spreading foot to a waisted neck with a neatly everted rim, the neck accented by a bowstring band. The exterior is coated in a rich purple-magenta enamel, stopping evenly above the foot. The interior and base are white, with the base further marked by an underglaze-blue double circle.

Provenance: Collection of Aline Thorold (1869-1951) and Ernest James Wythes (1868-1949), Copped Hall, Essex, until 1917 and subsequently the Wood House, Essex, United Kingdom. By descent to Barbara Dorothy Wythes (1896-1984) and (Francis) Guy Robert Elwes (1895-1966) at The Wood House, Essex until 1961 and subsequently Ham Spray House, Marlborough, United Kingdom. By descent to Aline Mary Margaret (Elwes) McDonnell (1923-2023) and Hubert McDonnell Jr. (1919-2004), Greenwich, Connecticut, United States and thence by descent in the same family to the last owner.
Aline Thorold, daughter of politician Sir John Thorold and the Honorable Alexandra Willoughby, was raised at Syston Park in Lincolnshire. She married the wealthy landowner and yachtsman Ernest James Wythes and received an OBE (Order of the British Empire) in 1918. Her lineage traces back to King George II of England.
The family home, Copped Hall in Essex, near the medieval town of Epping, was originally occupied by the FitzAucher family, who served as Foresters. The name 'Copped' derives from the Old English word for peak, referring to the site's vantage point. The 18th-century mansion stood until it was destroyed by fire during World War I. The family salvaged furniture, paintings, and objects, which were later sold or dispersed to cover the losses. The remaining items were moved to The Wood House, where Aline’s mother, Barbara, resided.
Condition: Very good condition with only minor wear and expected manufacturing flaws.
