拍品描述
China. Delicately potted, the shallow dish finely decorated in gilt and blue enamels to the well with sprays of peony, chrysanthemum, and grapes, framed by a wide scalloped band forming a blossom, and painted below the rim with dense scrollwork alternating with blossoms.Provenance: The Morgan Collection, no. 349 H (label to base). Collection of Francis and Margaret Mallett, no. 25 F.R. (label to base). John Sparks, London, July 1945. The Reginald and Lena Palmer Collection, no. 600 (label to base). A copy of a page from the Palmer Collection ledger listing the present lot, no. 600, and confirming the provenance and dating above, accompanies this lot. John Pierpont Morgan (1837-1913), America's most powerful financier, was also a visionary art collector. His acquisitions ranged from medieval manuscripts and Renaissance bronzes to Chinese porcelains and master drawings, purchased through top dealers and auctions across Europe. Morgan collected ambitiously, seeking not just masterpieces but entire groups that embodied the height of artistic achievement. By his death, his holdings ranked among the world's finest, with many treasures enriching the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where he served as president, and the Morgan Library & Museum, created to preserve his remarkable library and manuscripts. Francis Mallet was the son of John Mallet, the founder of Mallet & Son, an antique dealer for European furniture and decorative arts in the United Kingdom. From 1937 Francis took over the business and opened a location in London. He owned an exceptional collection of clocks, watches, and oriental ivories which he bequeathed to the Ashmolean Museum. 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 firing irregularities including few small dark spots, the rim with a 4 cm hairline. The enamels and gilding are exceptionally well preserved, displaying crisp colors and subtle tonal gradations rarely seen.Weight: 187 g Dimensions: Diameter 19.6 cmEggshell porcelain refers to a type of extremely thin and delicate porcelain that is characterized by its lightweight and translucent quality, resembling an eggshell. Eggshell porcelain was particularly prized during the Qing Dynasty, especially under the Yongzheng and Qianlong reigns, though the technique may have been developed earlier. Jingdezhen, a famous porcelain production center in China, was a primary source of eggshell porcelain, and it became highly sought after by the Imperial court and European collectors. In addition to being used for vases, bowls, and tea sets, eggshell porcelain was often made into small, fine decorative objects for the elite. These pieces were prized not only for their artistry and craftsmanship but also as a demonstration of the technical prowess of porcelain makers, as producing such thin porcelain required immense skill.
