Lot details

China, 1573-1620. Painted to the interior with a central roundel enclosing a Ming court official wearing a long robe and characteristic hat, with an attendant carrying a dish with a small jue vessel, encircled by a band of flowers on scrolling leafy vines below the rim with alternating panels of a ship at sea and a woman seated in a garden, divided by flowers on leafy stems.

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 1970s, 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 second generation members of the Holzapfel family circa between 1970 and 2005 and has remained in the family ever since.
Condition: Good condition with old wear and firing flaws, including extensive kiln grit to base, as expected on this ware, glaze recesses, and dark spots, small frits to the mouth and foot rim, one chip to the rim with associated hairline.

Weight: 1,449 g
Dimensions: Diameter 36 cm

The shallow sides of this magnificent Kraak ware dish rising from a short tapering foot to a wide everted rim, the exterior painted with lobed medallions enclosing flowers on leafy stems divided by flowers and leafy bamboo.

Auction result comparison: Compare with a closely related charger at Christie’s Amsterdam on 21 November 2007, lot 188, sold for EUR 8,050.
