The interior is painted in underglaze blue, depicting a charming looking toad spreading its feet standing in front of seaweed.Inscription: Atop the toad is inscribed Zhong chan, 種蟾, [toad of abundance].Provenance: The Collection of Sam and Myrna Myers, Paris, France. Acquired on 3 September 1976, according to the Myers ledger, and in the collection for 50 years.Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and manufacturing irregularities including expected fritting around the rims and foot as well as few dark spots and pooling.Weight: 145 g Dimensions: Height 3.8 cm, Diameter 12.7 cmWabi-sabi, the Japanese aesthetic that finds beauty in imperfection, transience, and natural irregularity, lies at the heart of the appreciation of ko-sometsuke wares. Kosometsuke, literally meaning “old blue and white,” refers to Chinese porcelains produced specifically to suit Japanese tastes, particularly for use in tea drinking and kaiseki dining associated with the tea ceremony. In response to this demand, Chinese kilns deliberately adopted irregular forms, asymmetrical profiles, and spontaneous decoration that resonated with the wabi-sabi ideal. These wares were intentionally made from poorly levigated clay and roughly potted, resulting in warped shapes, firing flaws, and rim fritting that might otherwise be considered defects. Features such as glaze flaking and mushikui along the edges were not only accepted but actively prized, embodying the tea aesthetic's reverence for impermanence and imperfection.Auction result comparison: Type: RelatedAuction: Sotheby's Hong Kong, 9 September 2025, lot 5179Price: HKD 19,050 or approx.
