A TURQUOISE GLAZED POTTERY CENSER, FANGDING, 17TH – 18TH CENTURY
十七至十八世紀綠松石色釉方鼎香爐
Sold for €1,011
including Buyer's Premium
China, 1670-1730. The archaistic vessel raised on four legs issuing from mythical beasts’ mouths and with two upright loop handles, taotie mask panels and flanges on each side above sinuously coiled chilong, all covered in a finely crackled turquoise glaze. The wooden cover pierced with ruyi heads and fitted with a pale celadon jade finial.
Provenance: French private collection.
Condition: Good condition with minor wear, small losses, minuscule nicks and scratches, all consistent with age. Remnants of old polychrome painting.
Weight: 1,119 g
Dimensions: Height 22.3 cm
Skillfully crafted with a smooth glaze that pools at the horizontal bands to accentuate the form, the present vessel is quite rare. In the late 17th to early 18th century, antiques were used as the standard for quality, models for archaistic designs and inspiration for innovation. Simplicity of form was a stylistic trend endorsed by the Emperor. The fresh modernity of this vessel, with its allusion to an archaic bronze, is an example of the minimalism that demanded a solid level of aesthetic conception and technical ability from the potter.
Auction result comparison: Compare with a Dehua fangding censer, sold by Christie’s New York in Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art (Parts I & II) on 22-23 March 2012, lot 2067, for USD 7,500.
