Published: Jean-Paul Desroches (ed.) et al, Two Americans in Paris. A Quest for Asian Art, Paris, 2016, p. 175, no. 284.Exhibited: 1. Pointe-à-Callière Museum, From the Lands of Asia. The Sam and Myrna Myers Collection, Montréal, 17 November 2016-19 March 2017. 2. Kimbell Art Museum, From the Lands of Asia. The Sam and Myrna Myers Collection, Fort Worth, Texas, 4 March-19 August 2018.China. Of Islamic metalware form, the lobed octagonal body rising from a short straight foot to a short flaring neck with everted straight rim, set to one side with an elegant S-shaped spout secured by an S-shaped strut and to the other with a strap handle, painted with scrolling leafy flower sprays below floral sprays at the neck.The base with a four-character Xuande mark Xuande nianzhi. Provenance: Pierre Cornette De Saint-Cyr, 17 October 1983, lot 26, information according to the Myers ledger (could not be independently verified). The Collection of Sam and Myrna Myers, Paris, France, acquired from the above, and in the collection since 43 years.Condition: Good condition with old wear and firing flaws, including, fritting to the rim and foot, dark spots, a fine hairline to the mouth and an obvious chip to the spout. A small repair to the lower body with an encircling crack.Weight: 647 g Dimensions: Height 16.5 cmThe present lot is an early and rare example of ewers of this form, as most similar pieces were produced during the Zhengde or early Jiajing periods. An ewer of identical size and form, together with a domed faceted cover with a lotus-bud finial, and with minor variations in the decoration of the spout and in the selection of floral motifs but with a four-character Zhengde mark on the base, is in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts (accession number 1976.24). Another octagonal ewer of the same size and shape but with a figure on the middle panel on either side and with an auspicious "fushou k'ang ning" (sic, but probably "fushou changming") mark in a double square on the base is in the Ardebil shrine, predating the inventory of 1611 and a third one in the British Museum (registration number Franks.748.b).Such ewers were sold in Europe as well as the Near East. The angular body raised ribs and squared-off handle suggest that the form of this ewer is based on metal work. The thickened collar around the neck may suggest a sheet metal, possibly Near Eastern, silver prototype as the collar would be more appropriate on a silver vessel where it would be applied to hide the join of the body to the neck.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related blue and white lotus ewer, dated to 1505-1521, 19.1 cm (high), in the Boston Museum of Fina Arts, accession number 1976.24. Compare another closely related blue and white lotus ewer, dated to 1506-1540, 15 cm (high), in the British Museum, registration number Franks.748.b.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Sotheby's London, 13 May 2009, lot 187 Price: GBP 6,000 or approx. EUR 13,000 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing : A rare blue and white ewer Ming dynasty, early 16th centuryExpert remark: Compare the closely related form, glaze and decoration.
