Glazed ceramic. China, in style of Song, presum. Qing Dynasty (1644-1911)
An especially lovely colored glaze with varied flowing patterns, which are seldom found. The color palette ranges from white, grey over pink to a light and very dark blue. The composition is lively and spirited in detail. From the rim on both sides, a black-blue "curtain" is hanging down, while the individual flow path differs. Thick glaze end over the foot, where an artist′s signet is dynamically written.

From the collection of Jürgen L. Fischer, Ascona, Switzerland
Jürgen L. Fischer was one of the major European collectors of Chinese art. The extensive size of the collection largely owes to the family’s fortune from the invention of the world-famous “Uhu Alleskleber ” in 1932 (the first synthetic resin glue world-wide) by grandfather August Fischer. Jürgen L. Fischer, who lived until 2013, was an avid collector of Chinese porcelain in an astonishing wide variety, in every size and from every time period. Jürgen Fischer passed on his comprehensive knowledge in numerous specialist books – among others, his large and very instructive book about the art of Chinese snuffbottles and also an antiquarian’s guide to Chinese art.
