Lot details

China, 1662-1722. The trumpet-shaped neck and spreading foot are carved with leaf tips. The central section is neatly incised with two ribboned mirror symbols reserved against a leiwen ground, the straight rim with a diapered pattern. Covered overall in a bluish pale celadon glaze darkening in the recesses. The recessed base with an apocryphal underglaze blue six-character da Ming Xuande nianzhi within a double circle.

Provenance: Old French private collection.
Condition: Good condition with minor wear and firing flaws, such as dark spots and small glaze bubbles, a glaze flake and small chip to the foot, three small glaze chips to the lower edge of the central section, two minor frits to the rim (inspected under strong blue light).

Weight: 814.2 g
Dimensions: Height 21.8 cm

The mirror (solid lozenge) is one of the babao or Eight Treasures of Chinese iconography. It symbolizes unbroken conjugal happiness and counteracts evil influences.
