拍品描述
Expert's note:This is a classic Ding ware bowl, with all the features of fine Ding wares from the Northern Song period. It is well potted with a fine-textured white body and clear, cream-toned glaze including the characteristic 'tear stains' on the exterior. The low foot is well cut and bears the finger imprints and nail marks of the potter who held the foot while dipping the bowl into the vat of glaze. The decoration of a pair of ducks on a pond with aquatic plants is fluently incised with some of the major lines of the design being emphasized using parallel lines. China, 960-1127. Delicately potted with deep, gently rounded sides flaring from a short foot, the interior freely carved with two pairs of ducks swimming amid reeds and lotus, the ripples and waves of water neatly rendered. Covered overall with a soft, cream-white glaze, the unglazed rim bound in metal.Provenance: E & J Frankel, New York, 2001. The Betty Eisler Collection, New York, acquired from the above and thence by descent. The exterior with an old label from E & J Frankel stating a purchase price for the present lot of USD 37,500. The lot is accompanied by a copy of the original signed invoice from E & J Frankel, dated 4 April 2001, addressed to 'Harold Gottesman for Betty Eisler', describing the present lot as an 'Important Dingyao bowl', confirming the dating above, and stating a purchase price for the present lot of USD 37,500 or approx. EUR 63,500 (converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing), which was diligently paid off by Betty Eisler in several installments spanning one and a half years. E & J Frankel was a major New York gallery specializing in Asian Art since 1967. Run by Edith (1939-2012) and Joel Frankel (1937-2018), it was one of the oldest galleries in the United States focusing exclusively on Asian art. Leaders in their field, the Frankels traveled the world in search of Asian art treasures and educated the general public about their shared passion. Their gallery on Madison Avenue in New York City became a local institution, best known for its regular schedule of innovative thematic exhibitions, and frequently visited by the biggest names in the field, such as Eskenazi, Ellsworth, Junkunc, and the Alsdorfs. Betty Ellen Eisler (1926-2023) was a proud-and-loud lifetime New Yorker and longtime fashion merchandising executive. After attending the Tobe-Coburn School for Fashion Careers, she worked for 35 years as a national buyer and merchandise manager. After she retired in 1989, she helped her cousin Harold Gottesman with his Manhattan Mini Storage business, where she developed and ran the collection process. She was an avid collector of antique Chinese ceramics and loved to travel. Pieces from her collection are now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear and expected firing irregularities including finger imprints and nail marks to the foot.Weight: 452 g Dimensions: Diameter 24.1 cmThe decorative theme of a pair of ducks was very popular in China, especially in association with weddings. A pair of ducks symbolizes fidelity, and if they swim on a lotus pond the message is extended, since one of the Chinese words for lotus is pronounced 'he', which is a homophone for harmony. Although Ding bowls with this charming decoration of a pair of ducks in a lotus pond that is rich in symbolism with the ducks representing connubial bliss and loyalty and the pond itself a rebus for harmony and purity are known, the present example is especially fine in its potting and decoration. The well-defined deep carving of the design is noteworthy, insinuating that the vessel was made for a special occasion, possibly as a wedding gift. Ding wares are generally thinly potted, as seen on the present vessel, with a fine body which does not require a slip to appear white after firing. It is covered in an cream-colored glaze which runs down in somewhat darker 'tears' characteristic of the best Ding examples.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related bowl also dated to the Northern Song, 18.2 cm diameter, from the Percival David Foundation and now in the British Museum, registration number PDF.100. Compare a closely related bowl dated to the 11th century, 23.7 cm diameter, formerly in the collection of Lucy Maud Buckingham and now in the Art Institute of Chicago, reference number 1924.312.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie's Hong Kong, 31 May 2010, lot 1984Price: HKD 2,180,000 or approx. EUR 389,000 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing: A rare finely carved dingyao 'ducks' bowl, Northern Song dynastyExpert remark: Compare the closely related form, glaze, and motif, with a similar metal lined rim and diameter (23.4 cm). Note that this example has a crack.
