拍品描述
Expert's note: The green enamel ground on which the deer are set recalls techniques developed during the Kangxi period, including the use of stippled black markings beneath the glaze. By contrast, the painting of the deer is notably more refined than typical famille verte examples, indicating a date in the early Yongzheng period.China, early 18th century. Finely potted with rounded sides rising from a straight foot to a gently everted rim, the exterior finely enameled in pale apple-green, brown, black, and iron-red with a stag and a doe recumbent alongside one another on a speckled grassy knoll, their bodies turned towards each other, the opposite side with two iron-red bats swooping through the air.The base with an auspicious mark including treasures and flowers in a double-square within a double circle.Provenance: The Peter and Mary White collection of Chinese art, no. 187 (label to base). The base with a second label inscribed 'Yongzheng 1723-35. Two deer + bat. 120'. Peter and Mary White are distinguished British collectors whose lifelong engagement with ceramics spans more than fifty years. Their collection, comprising over 3,000 objects, reflects a broad and scholarly interest in the global history of ceramics, with particular strength in Chinese, European, and Islamic wares, largely dating before 1800. Collecting began in their early married life and evolved through sustained study, travel, and close relationships with specialist dealers, curators, and fellow collectors. Both are deeply involved in ceramic study societies, including the Oriental Ceramic Society and the French Porcelain Society. Peter served as treasurer of several organizations, while Mary played a central role in documenting the collection. Their holdings, displayed in purpose-built spaces within their home, emphasize comparative study and the transmission of ceramic traditions through trade. The collection was dispersed through a series of sales at Bonhams under the title A Life in Ceramics: The Peter and Mary White Collection, marking one of the most comprehensive private ceramic collections formed in Britain in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Condition: Fine condition with minor old wear, traces of use, and firing irregularities including few dark spots. The rim with a small chip and 3 cm hairline. Light rubbing to enamels, small surface scratches and minor glaze abrasion to interior.Weight: 846 g Dimensions: Diameter 21 cmThe elegant composition of deer conveys a delicacy and sensitivity characteristic of porcelains produced in the late Kangxi period and the early years of the Yongzheng reign. The subject, featuring a pair of spotted deer (lu), a rebus for 'salary' (lu), accompanied by two bats (fu), a homophone for 'good fortune' (fu), is rich in auspicious symbolism. Together, these motifs express wishes for prosperity, longevity, and happiness, themes further reinforced by the auspicious mark on the base.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: Sotheby's New York, 20 March 2018, lot 325Estimate: USD 20,000 or approx.
