清初青釉桃形倒流壺

Sold for €1,896

including Buyer's Premium


Lot details

China, 17th-18th century. Naturalistically modeled in the form of a peach atop a spreading foot, the gently S-curved spout set opposite the handle both in the form of stems issuing leaves and blossoms applied along the body of the fruit, neatly decorated in underglaze blue and copper-red overall. Covered overall in a pale sea-green glaze. The recessed base with a central aperture.

Provenance: From an old French private collection.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and firing flaws, such as a firing crack to the stem connecting the spout to the body and microscopic nibbles to the spout.

Weight: 460.6 g
Dimensions: Height 13.4 cm, Width 18 cm (spout to handle)

The name ‘Cadogan’ was given to this curious group of peach-shaped vessels, which had no lids and were filled from the underside, by the Earl of Cadogan who in the early 19th century promoted their use as teapots, and persuaded the Rockingham factory in England to copy the form. See David S. Howard, The Choice of the Private Trader, London, 1994, no. 150 for a discussion on ‘Cadogan’ wine pots and for a blue and white example dating to c. 1640 from the Hatcher Cargo, and no. 156 for a famille verte example of the late Kangxi period. Howard suggests that vessels of this form may well have been purchased for display as curiosities rather than for use once they arrived in Europe.

Literature comparison: A similar wine pot, but with aubergine and turquoise glazes, is illustrated by J. Ayers, Chinese Ceramics in the Baur Collection, vol. I, Geneva, 1999, p. 179, no. 115 (A220).
