Sold for €3,034

including Buyer's Premium


Lot details

China, 1662-1722. The shallow sides rising from a tall ring foot to a slightly everted rim, the interior painted with a central medallion enclosing a pine tree, bamboo and flowering prunus, the exterior also with the Three Friends of Winter above a geometric band to the foot. The base with an apocryphal six-character da Ming Xuande nianzhi mark.

Provenance: Belgian private collection.
Condition: Three short hairlines to the rim (inspected under strong blue light), one barely visible to the naked eye, the other two invisible. Minor pitting, some firing flaws, fritting, overall condition commensurate with age.

Weight: 737.6 g
Dimensions: Diameter 25.5 cm

Ming imperial porcelains of the Xuande period represent a peak of quality, beauty, and inventiveness unique in the history of Chinese ceramics. Later emperors referred back to wares from this period, as seen in the present lot.

Literature comparison: For the Xuande ‘Three Friends of Winter’ prototype, see a blue and white bowl in the collection of the British Museum, museum number PDF, B.635. Compare with a blue and white bowl, also from the Kangxi period and with an apocryphal Xuande mark, at Sotheby’s Hong Kong in A Tradition of Elegance – The Leshantang Collection on 11 April 2008, lot 2519.

Auction result comparison: Compare with a related dish of smaller size, with a Qianlong seal mark and of the period, at Sotheby’s New York in Asian Art on 19 March 2016, lot 1412, sold for USD 35,000.
