A FINE BLUE AND WHITE ‘HORSES’ BOWL, QING DYNASTY

External expert's note: According to information provided by an external expert: this bowl can be precisely dated to 1668. On stylistic grounds, it seems to be too early to be considered as belonging to the eighteenth century, even the early eighteenth century. Also, and more compellingly, we might note the following reasons. A cyclical year period began in 1624. The Ding Wei year, as the inscription on the base of the present bowl indicates, would fall 44 years after the start of the cycle. Thus 1668 seems to be indicated, for it is the only credible year in play. There are a number of other dated bowls of this type that come from the late Transitional period. You might compare, for example, the bowl in the Butler Collection (see Teresa Canepa and Caroline Butler, Leaping the Dragon Gate: The Sir Michael Butler Collection of Seventeenth-Century Chinese Porcelain [London, 2021], p. 392, item III.4.33), which is of similar shape and proportion, and which also has a brown wash on its mouth rim; this bowl is cyclically dated on its base to the Bing Wu year, 1666. We can also compare a lot sold by Rob Michiels, a bowl also with horses and a brown-washed mouth rim, in his sale on 19 June 2025. It is also cyclically dated to the Bing Wu year of 1666.

China, 17th-18th century. A deep bowl rising from a straight foot to an everted rim, the exterior finely painted in cobalt blue with five horses amid mountains, rockwork, and stylized grasses. The interior well is decorated with a sixth recumbent horse in a mountain landscape, and the rim is lined in café-au-lait above a double blue line. The recessed base bears a four-character Dingwei nianzhi mark in cobalt blue within a double circle.

Provenance: From an important Irish private collection, acquired in the local trade.
Condition: Good condition with minor wear, the upper rim with four hairlines, a 3 cm section with a small repair and touchups, few tiny glaze flakes, and the well and base incised with the characters ‘da (big)’ and ‘yue (moon)’.
