Description

A BLUE-GLAZED EWER FOR THE ISLAMIC MARKET, EARLY 18TH CENTURY
This lot is from a single owner collection and is therefore offered without reserve

China. Finely potted with a pear-shaped body supported on a short spreading foot and rising to a long waisted neck with flaring crescent mouth, the neck encircled by a rib, the body set with the elegantly curved spout towards a hexagonal tip. Covered overall in a vibrant deep blue glaze thinning towards the upper rim and spout and running over the brown rim to the interior. The recessed base left unglazed to reveal the white ware.

Provenance: The Collection of Sam and Myrna Myers, Paris, France. Acquired between circa 1965-2012.
Condition: Overall good condition with minor wear and firing irregularities including pitting, a tiny firing crack to the base, and minor kiln grit, extensive losses to gilt with faint marks of a ‘prunus and spider web’ design above the glaze, old repairs to the mouth.

Weight: 1.1 kg
Dimensions: Height 29.5 cm

Expert’s note:
According to Rose Kerr, the shape of these ewers stems from Middle Eastern metalwork in combination with their crescent-shaped mouths and their dark blue glazes (see Kerr and Mengoni, Chinese Export Ceramics, London, 2011, p. 110). A late 17th century bluish-white ewer made in Iran with a curved spout and crescent-moon mouth is in the British Museum, registration number OA+.739, and shows the same Middle Eastern form as these Chinese export ewers.

Literature comparison:
Compare two closely related ewers, dated to the 18th century, 29.2 cm and 28.9 cm high, in the Victoria & Albert Museum, accession numbers 775-1888 and 1674-1876.
