A MINIATURE CONG-FORM JADE CENSER, MING DYNASTY

China, 14th-17th century. Finely carved, the small vessel supported on a circular and formed as a single-tiered cong with plain square sides and rounded corners rising to a short rim. The semi-translucent stone of a mottled pale gray and brownish-black tone with dark inclusions and veins.

Provenance: Phoenix Antiques, United Kingdom, 1996. The Plesch Collection, no. Hv 4, (label to base), acquired from the above. Peter and Traudi Plesch were both refugees from Nazi persecution. Peter had left Germany with his father, who was the medical doctor of Albert Einstein, who once gently commented on the practical difficulties of young Peter's ingenious design for a perpetual motion machine. Peter Plesch had already formed a fine collection when he met Traudi. One influence had been his maternal great uncle, Fritz von Gans, who had left his antiquities collection to the Royal Prussian Museum, Berlin. However, on their honeymoon in Israel, Traudi fell for the lure of ancient Chinese glass which inspired a new joint adventure, the one criterion for a purchase being that she and Peter should both want the object, although not necessarily with the same passion. Thus, their collection was formed slowly and wisely over four decades, later expanding into jades and ancient bronzes, reflecting their desire to have beautiful, but also academically meaningful pieces.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, natural flaws including fissures and inclusions, and minor nibbling to edges.

Weight: 71.7 g
Dimensions: Width 4 cm

Expert’s note:
Incense burners in the form of archaic cong are extremely rare, especially in jade. Compare a bronze cong-shaped incense burner with a Xuande six-character mark, dated 17th-18th century, at Bonhams Hong Kong, 28 May 2019, lot 118. Compare a zitan mounted cong-form censer, dated late Qing to Republic period, at Bonhams New York, 17 March 2014, lot 8099.
