A WUCAI ‘WEIQI PLAYERS’ DOUBLE-GOURD VASE, TRANSITIONAL PERIOD
過渡時期五彩“下棋”人物場景葫蘆瓶
Sold for €5,688
including Buyer's Premium
China, mid-17th century. Finely painted in bright enamels, the upper section with boys at play below wispy clouds, the lower section with two scholars in a garden playing weiqi (go) and flanked by two attendants.
Provenance: Collection of Gérard Lévy. Gérard Lévy (1934-2016), named by Le Figaro as ‘The Man with the Carnation’ for the flower he would always wear on his lapel, was a revered dealer and connoisseur of Asian art and antique photography. His gallery in Paris, designed by Le Corbusier, opened in 1966, and is today run and managed by his daughter, with the help of her two brothers, both renowned collectors themselves. About his collection, Gérard Lévy once said, “The intention was that my collection should be off the beaten track. Should you share my taste, I will know that I was right to collect along these lines. But in any case, I have gained enormous pleasure from my collection.”
Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear and firing flaws, such as pitting, dark spots, and glaze recesses, as well as few minor frits and surface scratches.
Weight: 486 g
Dimensions: Height 21 cm
The countersunk base with an apocryphal four-character underglaze-blue mark Chenghua Nianzhi.
Auction result comparison: Compare a closely related wucai double-gourd vase, also dated to the transitional period and painted with the same subject, but with an unglazed base and significant wear, at Christie’s Amsterdam, 11-13 December 2012, lot 513, sold for EUR 3,750.
