Please note this Lot is to be sold at No Reserve. 本拍品不設底價
China, late 17th - 18th century. The cylindrical body supported on a short foot, finely decorated in shades of cobalt blue to the top of the cover and the recessed base with chrysanthemum blooms borne on leafy scrolling vines, the sides left plain, covered overall with a transparent glaze. Note that the decoration on the cover being repeated on the base is rather unusual.
Provenance: Collection of Alfred Julius Forkel, acquired in China before 1910, and thence by descent in the same family. The base with two old labels, 'IV’ and ‘71/51’. Mentioned in the inventory of the collection, p. 71, no. 51, described as ‘Kien Lung blau und weiß Farbnäpfchen’. Alfred Julius Forkel (1873-1934) was born in Bavaria to Johann Wilhelm Forkel and Anna Dorothea Forkel. During his life, Forkel worked as a merchant and later as an officer with the Imperial German Navy. His travels as a merchant and as a naval officer took him across the globe. During his time in China, he assembled a large collection of Chinese porcelain and ceramics.
Condition: Very good condition with expected old wear, a minor chip to the rim of the cover. Remnants of red seal paste to the interior of the box and cover along with traces of use.
