Scientific Analysis Report: A thermoluminescence analysis report issued by Oxford Authentication on 25 February 2026, based on sample number N126b91, sets the firing date of the two samples taken between 500 and 800 years ago, consistent with the dating above. A copy of the report accompanies this lot.Expert's note: The abhi?eka mudrā displayed by the present figure is specifically associated with Vairocana, alongside the dharmadhātu and dharmacakra mudrās. Vairocana is revered as the Great Solar Buddha of Light and Truth and represents the bliss body (sa?bhogakāya) of the historical Buddha within Buddhist doctrine. He is also one of the Five Dhyani Buddhas, or Five Wisdom Tathāgatas, which embody the five fundamental qualities of Buddhahood.China, 1368-1644. The ceramic statue is well modeled to depict Buddha seated in dhyanasana on a circular lotus throne, his hands folded before the chest in abhisheka mudra, dressed in loose, green glazed robes draping over the shoulders and opening at the chest, the hems highlighted in yellow, the round face with downcast eyes, centered above by an urna, and surmounted by rows of tight curls covering the ushnisha. The lotus base detailed to each petal with an impressed lotus blossom.Provenance: L. Wannieck, Paris, France. An old private collection in Paris, France acquired from the above and thence by descent. The back with an old label, 'L. Wannieck, 1. Rue St Georges, Paris, Epoque Ming, 1368-1620', confirming the dating above. Marie-Madeleine Wannieck (1871-1960) was a prominent collector and art dealer from the early 20th century until her death. She was married to Leon J.B. Wannieck (1875-1931) and together they founded the Maison L. Wannieck, which was opened in 1902 on Tiananmen Square, Beijing. Although neither received any formal education, their gallery rivaled those of the most wealthy and prominent of that time. The gallery imported art objects from China, dealing directly with local antiquities dealers and archaeological digs. The legendary Ching Tsai Loo (C. T. Loo, 1880 - 1957), a famous antique dealer of Chinese art, was among Léon Wannieck's friends and competitors. The couple was also very involved in the Société des Amis du Musée Cernuschi, for which Léon Wannieck served as vice-president from its founding in July 1922. During the society's assemblies, the couple socialized with leading sinologists, such as Paul Pelliot (1878-1945). Léon Wannieck was also in regular contact with Henri d'Ardenne de Tizac (1877-1932), the curator of the Musée Cernuschi. Through this direct link, or through the Société des Amis, the Wanniecks donated or sold numerous works to the Musée Cernuschi. Condition: Good condition with old wear and manufacturing irregularities including glaze crackling and recesses as well as firing cracks. Minor glaze flaking, few small chips to exposed areas, the neck with an old repair, obvious losses, remnants of gilt and pigment.Weight: 11.1 kg (excl. stand), 13 kg (incl. stand) Dimensions: Height 47.5 cm (excl. stand), 51.5 cm (incl. stand)With a modern stand. (2)Large-scale figures in sancai first appeared in the mid-Ming period, typically depicting Buddhist and Daoist deities for enshrinement in temples and ancestral halls. They were likely inspired by the famous Yixian glazed pottery Luohans, discovered before World War I in caves at Yizhou and described as one of the most important groups of ceramic sculpture in the world (see for example two figures in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, object numbers 21.76 and 20.114).Literature comparison:Compare a related larger sancai glazed Buddha with similar details to the lotus petals, dated to the Ming dynasty, approx. 1500-1600, 146 cm high, in the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, object number B60P139+.
