拍品描述
QIANLONG PERIODChina, 1736-1795. Each finely decorated with two lobed cartouches enclosing a pair of quails amid rockwork, peonies, and chrysanthemums to one side, and a pair of deer in a palace garden on the other, as well as smaller fan-shaped panels with auspicious flowers, all reserved on a coral ground richly decorated in gilt with scrolling clouds and bands, the covers of a similar design topped by tall lotus bud-shaped finials. Provenance: The Ionides Collection, and thence by family descent to Lady Camilla Panufnik. Each vase inscribed to the inner rim and the interior of the cover, 'GU 28 9LJ'. Born to a leading Anglo-Jewish family with trade connections in China and Japan, Nellie Ionides (1883-1962) was well known as a collector, connoisseur, philanthropist, and expert on Chinese porcelain. She married Basil Ionides (1884-1950), a member of the Greek shipping family, who, like her own, were great patrons and philanthropists. Basil Ionides is particularly remembered as the pioneering Art Deco designer of The Savoy Theatre and Claridges. Nellie and Basil Ionides shared a love of the arts and were both collectors, bequeathing items to various museums, including the Victoria and Albert. Nellie had a special admiration for Chinese porcelain, especially the blue and white and famille verte wares of the Kangxi period, and has been credited with having an almost intuitive gift for discovering museum quality pieces in the Brighton Lanes, the Tunbridge Wells Pantiles, and the antique shops and auction houses of Sussex, Surrey, and London. Her granddaughter Lady Camilla Panufnik (b. 1937, nee Jessel), the widow of Polish composer and conductor Andrzej Panufnik, has observed: ''My grandmother, Nellie Ionides, was an impassioned collector. She loved each item that she found, had restored and brought home. At the end of her life, when she realized that almost everything would have to be sold to cover her death duties, she used to say she only wished she could be present at the sales to see who bought her favorite treasures, and indeed, to see how much they all went for under the auctioneer's hammer.'' Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear and minimal manufacturing irregularities including little pitting to the interior. In such pristine condition, the present pair must be considered exceedingly rare.Weight: 3.5 kg and 3.6 kg Dimensions: Height 41.6 cm and 41.2 cmAuction result comparison:Type: RelatedAuction: Christie's London, 15 May 2018, lot 261Price: GBP 8,125 or approx.
