A PAIR OF BLUE AND WHITE ‘MAGNOLIA’ BEAKER VASES, TRANSITIONAL PERIOD

China, c. 1640. Both of slender waisted form, the exteriors finely painted in shades of cobalt blue with birds flying under the moonlight amid leafy magnolia and peonies growing near craggy rocks, above bands of rockwork and pendent leaf blades. The rims each with a neatly applied café-au-lait glaze. (2)

Provenance: Arts d’Autrefois, Paris, France. A private collection in the United States, acquired from the above. Christie’s New York, 28 November 2006, lot 61. A private collection in New York, USA, acquired from the above and thence by descent in the family. Each vase with three old labels to the base, one from Arts d’Autrefois and two from Christie’s.
Condition: One vase in excellent condition with only minor wear and expected firing irregularities. The other vase in good condition with minor wear, expected firing irregularities, a hairline to the body and a small glaze flake to the rim.

Weight: 2,779 g and 2,938 g
Dimensions: Height 38.3 cm and 38 cm

Expert’s note: This simple and elegant form belongs to a group of new shapes among the Transitional Wares. Its simple concave lines, derived from the earlier Ming prototype, are noted by R. S. Kilburn to ‘serve to emphasize the solid careful potting and good proportion of the pieces’ (see Transitional Wares and Their Forerunners, Hong Kong Museum of Art, 1981, page 30).

Literature comparison:
Compare an inscribed blue and white vase dated to 1640, featuring three registers of plants and rocks similar to the present vase, included in the Hong Kong Oriental Ceramics Society exhibition Transitional Wares and Their Forerunners, Hong Kong Museum of Art, 29 January-29 March 1981, p. 89, no. 65.
