218
A PAIR OF DOUCAI ‘DEER AND MONKEY’ DISHES, KANGXI PERIOD
康熙朝一對斗彩猴鹿紋盤
Sold for €6,320
including Buyer's Premium
China, 1662-1722. The shallow rounded sides rising from a short tapered foot, the interior painted with a central medallion enclosing a deer looking up toward a monkey eating fruit on a gnarled pine tree next to craggy rockwork and magpies in flight below colorful scrolling clouds. Framed by a double line border and encircled by the Three Friends of Winter – pine, bamboo, and plum.
Provenance: From an English private collection.
Condition: Both dishes: Minor firing flaws, wear, traces of use, shallow surface scratches, and scattered frits to rim with associated touchups. Dish 1: chipping to foot rim, one hairline (ca. 4 cm). Dish 2: Russet scratches to base, nibbling to foot rim, three short hairlines (ca. 2 cm). All inspected under strong blue light.
Weight: 336.0 g (dish 1) and 379.6 g (dish 2)
Dimensions: Diameter 20.3 cm (dish 1) and 20.2 cm (dish 2)
The exterior neatly decorated with bamboo framed by double line borders. The base with an apocryphal underglaze-blue six-character mark da Ming Chenghua nianzhi within a double circle.
Puns or rebuses are very popular in Chinese art and often made by using homophones. Here, monkey, bees, magpie, and deer are combined to convey ‘giving great wealth and bestowing a noble title’ (jue lu feng hou).
Auction result comparison: Compare a closely related single Doucai dish, also dated to the Kangxi period, with an apocryphal underglaze-blue six-character Chenghua mark within a double circle, and similarly painted with a deer under a pine tree, at Sotheby’s New York in Chinese Works of Art on 19 March 2013, lot 175, sold for USD 22,500 (for a single dish).
