Blanc de Chine porcelain. China, Qing 18th to 19th cent.
The markedly large heads cause both animals to appear somewhat larger than they actually are. Powerful locks, decorative bands with tassels, tails with spirals and flames as well as one front paw gracefully securing a ball – it makes for a brilliant impression. A hole on the side of the rectangular base where a stick of incense can be placed. 德化獅子一對. 中國, 清代, 18至19世紀. 高 12 厘米.
HEIGHT 12 CM
From the collection of Jürgen L. Fischer, Ascona
The renowned collector of Chinese porcelain Jürgen L. Fischer lived in Ascona, located in the Swiss Canton Tessin at Lago Maggiore. The extensive size of the collection is largely owed to the family’s fortune, secured by pharmacist August Fischer and his revolutionary invention – the world’s first adhesive made from synthetic resin, the famous “Uhu Alleskleber”, developed in 1932. Jürgen L. Fischer lived until 2013 and was an avid collector of Chinese porcelain whose astonishing taste encompassed a broad spectrum of types, of all sizes and with origins spanning across millennia. Jürgen Fischer passed on his comprehensive knowledge in numerous text books – among others, his large and very instructive book about the art of Chinese snuffbottles and also an antiquarian’s guide to Chinese art.
