Provenance
: Alistair Sampson Antiques Ltd., London, 1997. Richard and Maxine Markell, acquired from the above. A copy of the original invoice from Alistair Sampson Antiques Ltd., London, dated 24 February 1997, describing the lot as a pair of lotus-shaped waterpots, dated to the early 19th century, accompanies this lot. Alistair Sampson (1929-2006) was a lawyer, noted antiques dealer, and humorist. After completing military service in the Royal Navy, he practiced law, specialized in criminal and family law, and was appointed a judge’s marshal. By his own account, Sampson was a collector almost all his life, specializing in Leeds creamware. In 1969, he made the long-pondered change to become a dealer, focusing on seventeenth and eighteenth-century English pottery and opened a shop on Brompton Road where he sold antiques from all over the world, ranging from paintings to metalwork to Western and Chinese ceramics. Richard Markell (1932-2021) was the son of chiropractor Maurice J. Markell, who established the family business Markell Shoes focusing on orthopedic footwear and orthotic devices. Richard and his wife Maxine (1935-2019) were avid collectors of Asian art, specializing in Chinese porcelain. Over the years, the couple amassed an extraordinary selection of extremely well-enameled pieces. They bought from some of the best dealers of their generation, and their purchases spanned 250 years of Chinese porcelain production. Their earliest works date from the beginning of the Qing dynasty and generally reflect the Western taste for the famille verte and famille rose wares of the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong reigns.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear to the enamels, and manufacturing flaws including few glaze recesses, and little pitting.
