拍品描述
China, ca. 1752. The deep bowls raised on short straight feet, decorated to the exterior with a river landscape depicting a pavilion on an island with sparse vegetation and ragged rockwork, another island in the distance, and a fisherman's boat lazily floating on the water, below birds flying in a chevron-shaped formation. The interior with an illegible motif to the center and a trellis band to the rim. (2)Provenance: Michael Hatcher, recovered from the Geldermalsen wreck (known as the 'Nanking cargo'). Christie's Amsterdam, 28 April 1986, lot 2648 (label to base). The Collection of Sam and Myrna Myers, Paris, France, acquired from the above. Michael Hatcher (b. 1940) is a British explorer and marine salvor who specialized in salvage work in the South China Sea. In 1981, he was involved in investigating the wreck of the Dutch submarine K XVII. He is especially known for his recovery of large quantities of Chinese porcelain from the VOC ship Geldermalsen, which was sold at Christie's in Amsterdam in 1986. Previously, he had discovered another ship in the South China Sea, which became known as the 'Hatcher cargo'. A part of the cargo salvaged in this wreck was sold at Christie's Amsterdam in March 1984.Condition: Good condition with wear and firing irregularities including dark spots, glaze recesses, and pitting. Scattered age cracks with associated flaking to the glaze.Weight: 161.6 g and 161.8 g Dimensions: Diameter 11.3 cm and 11.4 cmThis pair of porcelain bowls belongs to the celebrated 'Nanking Cargo', recovered from the wreck of the Dutch East India Company ship Geldermalsen, which sank in the South China Sea on January 3, 1752 after striking a reef on its return voyage to the Netherlands. The ship had departed Canton (Guangzhou) just sixteen days earlier, carrying a valuable cargo of tea, silk, gold ingots, and more than 100,000 pieces of porcelain produced in Jingdezhen for the Dutch market. The porcelain had been packed in chests of tea, which inadvertently protected many of the wares from damage during their long submersion. In 1985, British salvage expert Captain Michael Hatcher discovered the wreck on the same reef where, just two years earlier, he had found a sunken Chinese junk carrying a cargo of Kraak and Transitional wares dated to around 1643. The two wrecks lay barely a mile apart. The Geldermalsen's contents were sold the following year in a sensational auction at Christie's Amsterdam, where the combination of commercial history, shipwreck romance, and the pristine condition of the porcelain led to extraordinary public interest and record-breaking sales.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Christie's New York, 13 February 2020, lot 205 Price: USD 1,000 or approx. EUR 1,000 (for one) converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing : A Chinese porcelain 'Nanking cargo' blue and white bowl, Qianlong period, circa 1750 Expert remark: Compare the form, decoration, motifs, and size (15.2 cm), with similar wear.
