China, 1662-1722. The central dish of six-lobed form enameled in green, yellow, aubergine, black, and white with three fierce sinuous dragons chasing flaming pearls amid wispy flames, the rim with a diapered pattern interrupted by plum blossoms, the exterior with stylized bamboo sprays. The six surrounding fan-shaped dishes with foliate upper rims similarly decorated with a single dragon each. (7)

Expert’s note: It is extremely rare to find a complete seven-piece set from the Kangxi period with both the biscuit porcelain and the enamels in such pristine condition.

Provenance: Stefanos Lagonico, Alexandria, and thence by descent over several generations in the same family. Each dish with an old printed and handwritten label ‘No. 4603’ to base. Stefanos Lagonico was a member of the wealthy Greek community of Alexandria whose family settled in Egypt in the late 19th century. His collection of important Iznik ceramics was formed after the First World War, comprising mostly plates and jugs from the classic period (post 1570). At least six pieces from this collection were included in the important 1925 Exposition d'Art Musulman in Alexandria. Lagonico eventually left Egypt for Switzerland, just before the rise of nationalism and the abolition of the Capitulations in May 1937. His son Jean, an importer of dried fruits and nuts from the Levant, inherited most of the collection, and kept it in obscurity at his house in southern France until its dispersal at auction beginning in 1991.
Condition: Superb condition with only minor old wear, some expected firing flaws, and light surface scratches.

Weight: 389.6 g (the central dish) and 1,252 g (the six surrounding dishes in total)
Dimensions: Diameter 39.5 cm (total) and 19 cm (the central dish), length 19 cm (each of the six surrounding dishes)

來源：亞歷山大港Stefanos Lagonico，在同一家族保存了幾代。每一個盤底都有一個打印並手寫的標籤No. 4603。 Stefanos Lagonico是富有的亞歷山大希臘社區的成員，他的家人在十九世紀後期定居在埃及。他的重要伊茲尼克陶瓷收藏是在第一次世界大戰後建立的，主要包括古典時期（1570 年後）的盤子和水壺。該系列中至少有六件作品曾在 1925 年亞歷山大港藝術博覽會中展覽。後來，Lagonico 離開埃及前往瑞士，就在 1937 年 5 月民族主義興起和投降條約廢除之前。他的兒子 Jean 是黎凡特干果和堅果的進口商，他繼承了大部分藏品，並一直默默無聞地保存在他法國南部的房子裏，直到 1991 年開始被拍賣。
