拍品描述
EARLY QING DYNASTYChina, Jingdezhen kilns, 18th century. Finely potted, the garlic-shaped body rising from a spreading foot to a slender, slightly tapered neck, articulated by a globular mid-section, fitted with foliate silver mounts. The subtly ridged porcelain body covered overall in varying shades of deep midnight blue, punctuated with small gilt accents. The silver neck mount rendered in a stylized double-lotus form, while the rim fitting modeled as a lush bouquet of six-petalled flowers.Provenance: From The Sam and Myrna Myers Collection, Paris, France. Acquired between circa 1965-2012.Condition: Good condition with minor wear and firing-inherent irregularities. The neck fractured and subsequently repaired. The body with extended hairline cracks. One large chip to the underside. Few minor nicks and shallow surface scratches. Expected tarnishing and light warping to silver mountings. Weight: 436.2 gDimensions: Height 23.7 cmThe custom of sprinkling guests with cool, scented water originated in Iran and was adopted by elites at Hindu and Muslim courts, and later by wealthy Europeans in India. Bottles used for sprinkling rosewater (gulab) over guests were produced in India from the early 17th century onwards in gold, silver-gilt, and glass, with enameled and gem-set examples following in the 18th century.Porcelain production in China for export attained throughout the eighteenth century a high level of specialization and was shaped by the specific demands of overseas markets. For the Islamic world, imperial and private kilns, particularly at Jingdezhen, produced wares deliberately conceived for these cultural contexts, with vessel types, scale, and decorative programs adapted to established aesthetic and religious conventions. Large open forms were favored, together with non-figurative ornamental vocabularies based on geometric and stylized vegetal motifs, indicating a precise awareness of Islamic visual norms. Circulating through complex maritime trade networks, these export porcelains served not only as luxury goods and markers of prestige, but also as material evidence of the integration of China into early global systems of exchange and of the capacity to produce hybrid objects at the intersection of local technical traditions and international demand.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related blue-glazed porcelain water sprinkler, Qing dynasty, 18th century, 21.3 cm high, in the Victoria & Albert Museum, accession number 1672-1876.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie's London, 22 April 2013, lot 333Price: GBP 2,750 or approx.
