Description
A BISCUIT WATER DROPPER, KANGXI
China, 1662-1722. The porcelain modeled as a grotesque figure on a mound of clouds, squatting with a jar between his knees, with a gourd slung on his back and a cape of leaves. Note the finely incised details.
Provenance: From an English collection.
Condition: Perfect condition with only minor wear and firing imperfections.
Weight: 191.2 g
Dimensions: Height 8.5 cm
Painted in emerald-green, lemon-yellow, manganese-purple and blue glazes, the flesh left in biscuit. In the gourd is an opening, plugged with a long tubular stopper. Flat unglazed base.
This object must be considered as rare, especially given the fact that the matching stopper is still present and undamaged after 300 years.
Literature comparison: Compare with a pair of identical water droppers in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, Salting Bequest, inventory no. C.1038&A-1910.
