China, 18th - 19th century. Finely potted, the bulbous body supported on a spreading foot and rising to a waisted neck flanked by ruyi-form handles below the flared mouth. Brightly decorated in remarkably fine enameling to the exterior against a flawless imperial-yellow ground to each side with a foliate panel enclosing a charming scene with a boy presenting a flower to his mother, who is seated on a pierced rockwork bench within a fenced garden, all surrounded by floral blossoms borne on scrolling vines. The neck similarly decorated with peony and prunus blossoms borne on scrolling vines separated by bands of lotus scroll against a white ground enclosed by gilt borders, the foot and mouth encircled by geometric bands.
Provenance: From the collection of Captain Charles Oswald Liddell, acquired in China before 1914 and thence by descent. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Captain Charles Oswald Liddell (1854-1941) worked in China from 1877 to 1913. Liddell collaborated with A. W. Bahr in an exhibition in Shanghai in 1908, as Chairman of the North China branch of the Royal Asiatic Society and in writing descriptions for it, which were printed by A. W. Bahr in “Old Chinese Porcelain and Works of Art in China” in 1911. Charles Liddell had formed his collection, except for three pieces, while trading in China for nearly forty years. He purchased a number of pieces from two significant sources: Prince Chun, the last Regent of the Qing Dynasty, and the private secretary of Li Hong Zhang. In May 1929, Bluett offered a part of the collection, publishing a catalog of “The Liddell Collection of Old Chinese Porcelain” with 229 entries. A Falangcai bowl from the Lidell collection was acquired by Charles Russell and was subsequently in the collections of Barbara Hutton and Robert Chang, breaking a world record for Chinese art when it was sold in 2006 for HKD 151,320,000, purchased Dr. Alice Cheng, who recently sold the bowl again via Sotheby’s for HKD 198,220,000 in April 2023.
Condition: Superb condition with only very minor old wear and firing irregularities, minor rubbing to gilt and enamels.One microscopic hairline (4 mm) to the foot.
Weight: 640.6 g
Dimensions: Height 20.8 cm
