Lot details

China, 1368-1644. The globular jar fired once with a cream-colored ground glaze and subsequently stenciled and fired a second time with the persimmon-brown glaze above. The stenciled area painted to one side with a cup and cover supported on a small stand and further painted in black, brown, and white with floral sprays, the rim and foot left unglazed.

Provenance: Compagnie de la Chine et des Indes, Paris, inventory number 23414 (old label to lower body), acquired in 1989. The Compagnie de la Chine et des Indes (China and India Company) in Paris was founded in the early 20th century by the Blazy brothers, acquired in 1935 by Robert Rousset and later run by his grandnephews Mike Winter-Rousset and Hervé du Peuty. With his sister Suzanne in charge of the porcelain, Robert Rousset developed the business, and the company became one of the most important dealers for Asian art in France, selling pieces to the greatest museums, including the Guimet and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Condition: Excellent condition with minor old wear and some firing irregularities, few small chips to rim.

Weight: 1,270 g (the jar)
Dimensions: Height 18.5 cm (excl. cover), Width 19.5 cm (at the widest points)

With a Chinese hardwood cover of circular form dating to the 20th century. (2)

Cizhou wares sometimes show exceedingly modernist designs, such as the cup and cover interspersed with floral sprays found on this jar. Along with the many innovative techniques developed in the Cizhou kilns, such as the stenciled reserve on the present lot, these designs inspired Pablo Picasso to create some of his most important ceramic works.
