拍品描述
China. Of upright form, with sloping shoulders and an unglazed oval foot rim, each side decorated with Buddhist lions, their fur hair painted with fine lines terminating in curls, two of the larger lions holding a beribboned ball, their eyes detailed with black, and their faces with humorous and quizzical expressions. Provenance: The Ionides Collection, and thence by family descent to Lady Camilla Panufnik. 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: Very good condition with minor wear and few tiny surface scratches.Stopper: Jade on a black plateletWeight: 52.8 gDimensions: Height including stopper 75 mm. Diameter of the neck 17 mm and mouth 6 mm.The number nine is considered auspicious in Chinese astrology and folk beliefs. Representing the fullest expression of yang, nine is closely associated with heaven in that it evokes infinity, partly because it was the product of three times three, the most basic unit of three being heaven, earth, and man, and partly because the number nine was homophone with the word 'jiu' meaning eternity.Literature comparison:Compare a related iron-red-decorated porcelain snuff bottle depicting a Buddhist lion, with a Shengdetang mark and dated to the Daoguang period, sold at Sotheby's New York, 23 March 2004, lot 94.
