越南十五世紀青花花卉紋罐

Sold for €1,264

including Buyer's Premium


Lot details

Vietnam. The baluster body rising to a short neck, the exterior painted with a band of scrolling vines and stylized flowers between a band of lappets above the base and a band of overlapping lotus leaves at the shoulder, covered overall in a finely crackled transparent glaze.

Provenance: Collection of Dr. Ernst Grüterich, Gelsenkirchen, and thence by descent in the same family. German private collection, acquired from the above. Dr. Ernst Grüterich (1926-2017) was a German ophthalmologist and collector of Asian art, building a large collection over many decades. Parts of his collection have been exhibited at the Museum of East Asian Art in Cologne. Old collector’s label ‘Grüterich, Gelsenkirchen’ to base.
Condition: Good condition with minor wear, intentional crackling, firing irregularities, firing cracks, small glaze recesses, minuscule nibbling here and there.

Weight: 1,124 g
Dimensions: Height 16 cm

The technique of manufacture, shape of the jar, and general composition of design are clearly based on blue-and-white prototypes of the early Ming dynasty (1368–1644), but the whimsical design is uniquely the product of Vietnamese artistic sensibilities.

The origins of blue-and-white ware in Vietnam remain obscure; however, the addition of this type of ceramic to the repertory is often linked to the brief Chinese occupation of the early fifteenth century. Vietnamese potters, who continued fourteenth-century Chinese styles well into the sixteenth century, often competed for markets, particularly those in Southeast Asia, with the kilns at Jingdezhen.

Literature comparison: Two related dishes, one from the 15th century and the other dated from the 15th to the 16th century, are in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession numbers 1998.213 and 1989.157.
