A QINGBAI FLORAL-LOBED CUP AND STAND, SONG DYNASTY
宋代青白釉花口高足杯連盞托

Sold for €3,792

including Buyer's Premium


Lot details

China, 960-1279. The thinly potted shallow cup rising from a short flared foot to an everted rim, the rounded sides divided into six petal lobes by notches around the rim, resting on a stand of saucer shape with a hexalobed rim and stepped pedestal in the center, all on a trefoil-pierced petal-shaped foot. Both covered overall with a pale aquamarine translucent glaze, save for the partly unglazed bases burnt to orange in the firing. (2)


Provenance:
Old English private collection, acquired over 20 years ago and thence by descent within the same family.
Condition: Superb condition with minor wear and firing irregularities, the glaze with crackling.

Weight: 84.6 g (the cup) and 274.6 g (the stand)
Dimensions: Diameter 10.5 cm (the cup) and 14 cm (the stand), Height 9 cm (the cup and stand)

Expert’s note: The present lot is distinguished by its superb condition, showing only expected wear, crackling, and firing irregularities. A Qingbai cup and stand of this quality and age, being around 1,000 years old, must be considered extremely rare.

Auction result comparison: Compare a closely related Qingbai cup and stand, also dated to the Song dynasty, at Sotheby’s New York in Song Tradition: Early Ceramics From The Yang De Tang Collection on 17 March 2015, lot 104, sold for USD 32,500, and another at Sotheby’s London in Asian Art on 9 November 2018, lot 230, sold for GBP 27,500.
