A PAIR OF NEATLY ENAMELED PORCELAIN DOVES, QING DYNASTY

China, 1750-1850. Finely modeled standing atop turquoise and aubergine tree stump bases, their heads raised and slightly tilted to the side. Well detailed with hooked beaks, round eyes with black pupils, and neatly incised wings and tail feathers. (2)

Provenance: From the private collection of George Withers (1946-2023), a renowned antiques dealer based in Bath, England. Raised in Charfield, Gloucestershire, Withers purchased his first antique grandfather clock at just 14. He ran antiques stalls in London and Bath but was known for his reluctance to part with the treasures he acquired, amassing a vast and diverse personal collection spanning time and culture.
Condition: Superb condition with only minor wear and minute firing irregularities, one with minuscule flakes to the end of the tail feathers.

Weight: 463 g and 436 g
Dimensions: Height 16.5 cm (each)

In Chinese culture, pairs of doves symbolize peace, fidelity, and harmony, particularly in the context of relationships and marriage. Doves are often associated with love and loyalty because they are known to form strong, monogamous bonds. A pair of doves represents enduring affection and a harmonious union, making them a symbol of marital bliss and stability.
