Sold for €3,539

including Buyer's Premium


Lot details

China, 1661-1722. The globular porcelain body rising from a slightly splayed ring foot to a long cylindrical neck, outlined in black and painted in vivid enamels with galloping horses, auspicious emblems and flowers floating on a ground of swirling waves.

Provenance: Holzapfel collection, Geneva, Switzerland. The greater part of the Holzapfel Oriental Ceramics collection was formed in England and Ireland in the late 1950s and 1960s. After the death of Mr. Holzapfel, most of his pieces went to his children, ten in all. Two of Mr. Holzapfel's eldest sons then started their own collections in the early 1970's, both by adding significantly to their shares of the inheritance. Collecting was eventually continued by one of Mr. Holzapfel’s grandsons, who lives in Switzerland and is a member of the Oriental Ceramic Society. This lot was acquired by the grandfather of Mr. Holzapfel before 1970 and has been in the Holzapfel family ever since.
Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear and expected firing flaws.

Weight: 703.6 g
Dimensions: Height 25.6 cm

It is said that some of Vincent van Gogh's most important ‘swirling’ self-portraits were directly inspired by the spiral-ground motif seen on the present vase, of which the origins date back to the early Kangxi period.

Auction result comparison: A related bowl with horses and very similar swirling ground was sold by Sotheby’s New York in Property of a Palm Beach Private Collector on 29 March 2011, lot 77, for USD 9,375.

康熙五彩奔馬漩渦紋長頸瓶
中國,1661-1722年。長頸,削肩,球形腹,黑地五彩琺琅釉繪製奔騰的馬匹,漩渦紋地。

來源:瑞士日内瓦Holzapfel收藏。Holzapfel 東方陶瓷系列的大部分是在1950至1960年代末在英國和愛爾蘭成型的。 Holzapfel先生去世後,他的大部分藏品都交給了他的孩子,總共十個孩子。 Holzapfel先生的孩子中年長的兩個隨後於1970年代初開始了自己的收藏,都大大增加了他們的遺產份額。 Holzapfel先生的孫子之一(目前居住在瑞士,是東方陶瓷協會的成員)最終繼續進行收集工作。 此拍品是1970年以前由Holzapfel先生的祖父購得的,此後一直存在於Holzapfel家族中。
圖片: Mr. Holzapfel senior
品相:狀況極好,輕微磨損和燒製缺陷。

重量:703.6 克
尺寸:高 25.6 厘米

據説梵高的很多重要自畫像中的漩渦紋是受康熙時代的這類器皿中的漩渦紋的啓發。
