拍品描述
Expert's note: The present stem cup is distinguished by its exceptionally refined anhua decoration, a rare technique in which motifs are carved or molded into the surface so subtly that they remain almost imperceptible under normal lighting. In the present example, the sinuous dragon emerges with remarkable clarity only under strong back light.China, 1279-1368. Well potted, with deep rounded sides rising to gently everted rim, raised on a tall, gently flared, hollowed, and ribbed 'bamboo' stem, molded to the interior with a sinuous dragon with minutely incised scales. The stem bowl is covered overall with a white glaze.Provenance: Collection of Ernst Arthur Voretzsch (1868-1965), and thence by descent in the family. Ernst Arthur Voretzsch (1868-1965) was a distinguished German diplomat and early connoisseur of Asian art who spent many years serving in key posts across China, Southeast Asia, and Japan, including Hong Kong, Singapore, Shanghai, and Tokyo. His deep engagement with Chinese, Japanese, and Korean art and culture informed his scholarship and collecting, leading him to write on topics such as 'Altchinesische Bronzen' (1924) and 'Indian Art in Siam' (1900), and to compile catalogues of Chinese painting in Hamburg and Tokyo. After retiring, he established a Museum of Asian Art in Bamberg in 1937, which he directed until 1959, helping to promote appreciation of East Asian art in Germany. His significant collection of East Asian works, once housed at Burg Colmberg and now dispersed among museums and auctions, remains a testament to his role as a pioneering European collector and scholar of Asian art.Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and firing irregularities including dark spots, burst bubbles, firing cracks at the base of the bowl, and minor glaze lines. Short hairlines to the rim.Weight: 182 g Dimensions: Height 9.4 cm, Diameter 11.5 cmThe glaze on this vase is the so-called shufu glaze, which developed in the Yuan dynasty as a variant of the qingbai glaze. The shufu glaze is slightly more opaque than qingbai and has a silky texture rather than a glassy surface. The name shufu derives from the fact that a number of wares with this glaze have the two characters shu and fu in low relief on their interior. It is believed that these were intended for use by a Yuan dynasty government department, the Shumiyuan, which is normally equated with a Privy Council.Literature comparison: Compare a related carved and molded stem cup with chrysanthemum scrolls, dated to the 14th century, 13 cm in diameter, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, object number 25.222.5.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Christie's Hong Kong, 27 November 2013, lot 3289 Price: HKD 500,000 or approx.
