Expert's note: The present pair of bowls is exceptional for the extraordinary quality of its enameling. Under extreme magnification, the rose palette reveals granulose streaks and pastose accumulations of pigment, closely resembling layered paint rather than conventional enamel. The effect recalls Claude Monet's late Water Lilies, where form dissolves and the viewer is confronted not with a clearly delineated motif, but with a sensuous surface in which color, texture, and light merge. Such brilliant execution demanded material resources and technical control far beyond the reach of the average Canton workshop of the 18th century and leaves this author with literally no other plausible alternative than production within the Imperial Workshops in Beijing.China, 1736-1795. Each with deep rounded sides superbly painted in vibrant enamels to the exterior with butterflies amid floral sprays of peony, finger citron, and peaches, above a band of blue scrolls framing the foot, all below blue and brown line borders encircling the rim, the interiors each decorated with a central peach spray. (2)Provenance: John Sparks Ltd, London, 1958. The Reginald and Lena Palmer Collection, acquired from the above, thence by descent to their son William A. Palmer, no. X200 (labels to bases), and thence by further descent. The bases each with an old label from John Sparks Ltd. A copy of the invoice from John Sparks, dated 31 December 1958, addressed to R. H. Palmer, confirming the dating above, accompanies the lot. The Reginald and Lena Palmer Collection was one of the most important private European collections of Chinese art during the late 19th and 20th centuries. Reginald Palmer (1898-1970) was the son of W. Howard (1865-1923) and Ada Palmer (1870-1953), and his grandfather established a successful biscuit manufacturing firm known as Huntley & Palmer in 1841, which remained in the family for three generations. The constant commercial success of the firm enabled members of the family to pursue their collective passion for Chinese art. The first pieces of the Palmer Collection were assembled by Reginald's father, Howard, who kept a collection of 17th century Chinese porcelain in their Victorian mansion in Berkshire, where pieces of fine Chinese art had been kept even prior to its acquisition by the Palmer family. Reginald married Lena Cobham (d. 1981) in the 1920s and began collecting Ming and early Qing dynasty domestic porcelain ware, deviating from the taste of his parents who collected primarily export ware. The couple joined the Oriental Ceramic Society in the 1940s, but despite varying trends in the market and changing tastes of collectors, they continued to focus on collecting Ming and early Qing porcelain up until Reginald's death in 1970. Their important and sublime collection was hosted in over ten exhibitions by the OCS. Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and manufacturing irregularities, the enamels exceptionally well preserved with little rubbing and few light scratches, a tiny dent to one foot rim. The colors are exceptionally crisp, literally untouched.
