A MASSIVE CARVED ‘LOTUS’ LONGQUAN CELADON CHARGER, EARLY MING DYNASTY
明初龍泉窯青釉暗刻蓮紋大盤
Sold for €6,952
including Buyer's Premium
China, 15th-16th century. The broad rounded sides rising from a short foot to a lipped rim, the center of the interior carved with a lotus spray framed by a barbed border and a double line, encircled by a freely carved lotus scroll around the sides. Covered overall in an unctuous olive-green glaze save for a ring at the base burnt orange from firing.
Provenance: From a private collection in New York City, USA. Stair and Co., New York, acquired from the above (according to label to base). The base with a fragment of an old handwritten label, referring to a “Col. [….] 8th Hussars” and stating that “the Chinese ceramic expert at the Victoria and Albert Museum pronounced it to be early Ming”.
Condition: Excellent condition with ancient traces of use, shallow surface scratches and old wear, all commensurate with age, and expected firing flaws, some with associated minute glaze flakes. An early Ming-dynasty charger of this size in such well-preserved condition must be considered exceedingly rare.
Weight: 7.0 kg
Dimensions: Diameter 47 cm
Literature comparison: Compare two related Longquan dishes, with similar lotus decoration to the present lot, illustrated by Mei-fen Tsai, Green–Longquan Celadon of the Ming Dynasty, National Palace Museum, Taipei, 2009, p. 94, nos. 43 and 44.
明初龍泉窯青釉暗刻蓮紋大盤
中國，十五至十六世紀。此盤形制較大，敞口，淺腹，圈足。裡外遍施青釉。盤壁均以暗刻花卉紋為飾，中央蓮花紋。胎體厚重，頗具質感，盤形規整。底足露胎燒成橘色。
來源：紐私人收藏；紐約Stair and Co.藝廊，購於上述收藏 (見底足標籤)。底部還有一個已經不清晰的手寫標籤， “Col. [….] 8th Hussars” ，並注明 “the Chinese ceramic expert at the Victoria and Albert Museum pronounced it to be early Ming” （Victoria and Albert Museum美術館中國瓷器專家認爲此盤為明初。）
品相：狀況極佳，有古老的使用痕跡、表面淺劃痕和舊磨損，所有這些都與年齡相稱，還有預期的燒製瑕疵，有些還有微小的釉面開片。 如此大小且保存完好的明代早期大盤，可謂極為罕見。
