拍品描述
The baluster body supported on a short, gently splayed foot with a recessed base and surmounted by a straight neck terminating in a broad circular mouth.The exterior finely painted in skillfully graduated shades of cobalt blue and black with a continuous figural scene depicting a maiden standing and cradling a small vessel, attired in flowing robes and a long mantle cascading from her head, gazing toward a group of courtiers at leisure, one playing a tanbur, seated within a verdant landscape with flowering plants and numerous birds in flight.The scene framed above by bands of ruyi motifs and scrolling tendrils encircling the shoulders and neck, and below by a prominent key-fret border. The base left unglazed, revealing the buff-colored body beneath.Provenance: From a private collection in Germany. The base with an old label inscribed with an inventory number, 'Art.10.4.6. 01108'.Condition: Good condition with minor wear and firing irregularities, small glaze lines, light warping. The rim with a short hairline and a shallow chip.Weight: 1,612 gDimensions: Height 25.3 cmThe introduction of Chinese blue-and-white porcelain into Safavid Persia is closely tied to the flourishing trade between the two regions during the reign of Yongle (1402-1424), a period that marked a new era in Sino-Persian exchange. Between 1406 and 1433, China launched seven major maritime expeditions that reached the Indian Ocean, Ceylon, the eastern coast of Africa, the Persian Gulf, and Persia itself. The history of blue-and-white porcelain in Persia thus spans several centuries, with its full maturity achieved in the seventeenth century, an enduring highlight within the Islamic world, where the appreciation of Chinese porcelain remained widespread and deeply rooted.In the early Safavid period, Chinese porcelains were among the most widely exported wares, and their striking visual effect made the style highly sought after. Persian potters closely followed those Chinese prototypes, producing literal adaptations of the imported repertoire. Over time, however, decorative motifs evolved in response to both local traditions and the growing presence of European influences, introduced by Portuguese and Dutch merchants. One approach adopted by Persian artisans was to preserve the foreign element in its original form, which led to a relatively limited variety of shapes in Safavid blue-and-white wares. From the late sixteenth to the mid-seventeenth century, Persian potters began to reinterpret Chinese-inspired human and animal figures with greater freedom, often imbuing them with a playful character.Like many ceramics produced in Safavid Persia, the present jar reflects the aspiration to emulate highly prized Chinese porcelain. Its distinctive blue-and-white palette, the depiction of animals and figures within verdant landscapes, and the inclusion of characteristically Chinese ornamental devices, such as the ruyi motifs and the broad key-fret band that encircle the vessel, clearly attest to this intent. From the late sixteenth to the mid-seventeenth century, Persian potters began to reinterpret Chinese-inspired human and animal figures with greater freedom, often imbuing them with a playful character. For a more in-depth understanding of the Chinese influence on Safavid blue-and-white ceramics between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries, and their technological, stylistic, and iconographic developments, see the reference work by Yolande Crowe, Persia and China: Safavid Blue and White Ceramics in the Victoria and Albert Museum, 1501-1738, 2002.Literature comparison:Compare a related blue and white jar with figural decoration in the Victoria & Albert Museum, dated 17th century, 27.9 cm high, accession number 1224-1876.
