A GRAY JADE ‘ARCHAISTIC’ POURING VESSEL, YI, EARLY QING DYNASTY
清初仿古玉匜
Sold for €1,390
including Buyer's Premium
China, 17th-18th century. Supported on a thick oval foot, carved with a canted handle, the gently sloping rim bordered with a thin incised band. The superbly polished, translucent stone of a gray tone with dark speckles and veining as well as cloudy white inclusions. Note the extremely thin walls and, as a result, the light weight.
Provenance: Collection of Sir David and Lady Scholey. Sir David Scholey CBE FRSA achieved success as a merchant banker in the City of London, later becoming a director of the Bank of England and governor of the BBC. His commitment to the arts was reflected in his role as Chairman of Trustees of The National Portrait Gallery as well as a Director of the London Symphony Orchestra. A lifelong interest in music and art has been shared with his wife Alexandra and together they furnished Heath End House, Hampstead - once the residence of John Abbott McNeill Whistler. Regular purchases from the leading London antiques fairs and dealers allowed them to add to those pieces passed down from their families and assemble a magnificent collection over decades.
Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear and microscopic nicks. The stone with natural fissures, some of which may have developed into small hairline cracks over time.
Weight: 46.4 g
Dimensions: Length 8.6 cm
Auction result comparison: Compare a related greenish-white jade archaistic pouring vessel, also dated 17th-18th century and of similar form, but with a circular handle and of slightly larger size (10.2 cm long), at Christie’s London, 8 June 2021, lot 288, sold for GBP 6,875.
清初仿古玉匜
中國，十七至十八世紀。仿青銅器匜形，有流，單耳，厚圈足，流的邊緣有一道凹弦紋，素面，表面拋光細緻。半透明的灰色調，帶有深色斑點和紋理以及白色絮狀物。 薄壁，因此整器很輕。
來源：David Scholey爵士先生和Alexandera Scholey女勛爵收藏。David Scholey CBE FRSA 是倫敦非常成功的銀行家，曾是英格蘭銀行的董事和 BBC 總裁。 藝術方面，他曾擔任國家肖像美術館受託基金主席和倫敦交響樂團總監。 他與妻子Alexandera都非常鍾情音樂和藝術，他們一起為Hampstead曾經的John McNeill Whistler的居所 Heath End House 配置了家具。 因爲他們定期從倫敦主要的古董展和經銷商那裡購買古玩，所以他們能夠不停家族流傳下來收藏添置新品，從而在幾十年裡建立了一個宏偉的收藏。
品相：狀況極好，有輕微磨損和細微劃痕。 具有天然脈理的玉料，隨著時間的推移，其中一些可能會發展成細小的裂縫。
重量：46.4 克
尺寸：長 8.6 厘米
拍賣結果比較：一件相近的白綠色仿古玉匜，同樣為十七至十八世紀，相似形制，圓形執柄，尺寸稍大 (長10.2 厘米) 見倫敦佳士得2021年6月8日lot 288, 售價GBP 6,875。
