Lot details

Expert’s note
: The present lot is in pristine condition and still retains its original cover, which is rather small in size and therefore can be lost easily. It must therefore be considered as exceedingly rare.

China, 1662-1722. Each side finely painted in nicely graduated shades of deep cobalt blue to depict two court ladies standing on a terrace flanking a jardinière of chrysanthemums, with branches of prunus blossoms in the background. The flat shoulder with a different flower sprig at each corner, depicting peony, lotus, aster, and prunus, all within quadrilobed panels with scroll designs at the corners. The base with an underglaze-blue monogram mark ‘HA’.

Provenance: The Property of a Gentleman. Christie’s New York, 30 May 1991, lot 321. A private collection in New York, USA, acquired from the above, and thence by descent within the family.
Condition: Very good condition with only minor wear and expected firing irregularities, minute glaze flakes, and minuscule nicks to edges. Overall exceptionally well preserved and displaying magnificently.

Weight: 1,750 g
Dimensions: Height 30.2 cm
