A SMALL TEADUST-GLAZED WATER POT, MID-QING
清代中期茶葉末釉小筆洗
Sold for €1,201
including Buyer's Premium
China, 18th century. Of compressed globular form with a broad foot and lipped mouth, covered overall in an opaque speckled dark olive-green glaze save for the unglazed foot ring.
Provenance: Bluett & Sons, London, old collection label to base. Vermeer & Griggs, acquired from the above. Thence by descent. Bluett & Sons was an important dealership of Chinese works of art, founded by brothers Leonard and Edgar Bluett and later continued by Leonard’s son Roger Bluett, who was president of the British Antique Dealers’ Association, of which his father and uncle were founding members in 1919.
Condition: Excellent condition with only minor wear and firing irregularities. A minuscule and illegible inscription is incised to the base, possibly by a collector.
Weight: 135.6 g
Dimensions: Diameter 8.6 cm (at the widest points)
Expert’s note: Though unmarked, the clear form, exquisite glaze, and distinctly broad foot firmly place this water pot in the reign period of the Qianlong Emperor, or possibly even a bit earlier.
Auction result comparison: Compare a closely related water pot, also dated to the 18th century, but with a slightly wider mouth and without the lipped rim, at Christie’s New York in Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art on 15 September 2017, lot 1253, sold for USD 3,500. Compare also a related water pot, but of more compressed form and dated to the 19th century, at Sotheby’s Hong Kong in Chinese Art on 30 November to 1 December 2017, lot 610, sold for HKD 87,500.

中國，十八世紀。球形筆洗，寬口和寬圈足，通體覆蓋不透明斑點深橄欖綠茶葉末釉，圈足露胎。
來源：倫敦Bluett & Sons藝廊，底足上可見收藏舊標簽。Vermeer & Griggs購於上述收藏，保存至今。Bluett & Sons 曾是是中國藝術品的重要經銷商，由Leonard 與 Edgar Bluett兄弟創立，後來由Leonard的兒子Roger Bluett繼續經營，他是英國古董商協會的主席，他的父親和叔叔於 1919 年成為該協會的創始成員。

重量：135.6 克
尺寸：直徑8.6 厘米 (最寬処)
專家注釋：雖無印記，但其造型清晰、釉質細膩、寬圈足，足以確定此筆洗來自乾隆年間，甚至更早的時期。
