Sold for €2,528

Lot details

China. The censer has a compressed body raised on three conical supports, and a pair of 'bridge'-shaped handles that rise in a graceful curve from the rim. The base crisply cast with a recessed square panel enclosing a three-character mark.

Inscriptions: To base, ‘Song Yue Lü’ (Companion of Pine and Moon).

Provenance: Christie’s South Kensington, 10 September 1987 (according to collector’s notes). Collection of John Burke da Silva, acquired from the above and thence by descent within the same family. A handwritten note by the collector, describing the present lot and recording its purchase from Christie’s, accompanies this lot. John Burke da Silva CMG (1918-2003) joined the Foreign Office after the war. The job took him to many parts of the world. His love of Chinese porcelain stemmed from a posting to the Embassy in Rome in 1954, where he happened to stay in a rented flat that housed a large collection of Chinese and Japanese works of art. He studied the subject learning from books and visiting museums, eventually joining the Oriental Ceramics Society in 1960, and serving on their Council and as Honorary Treasurer until 1994.
Condition: Very good condition with old wear and some casting flaws, few small nicks and dents, occasional light scratches. Fine, naturally grown patina with areas of dark and malachite encrustation.

Weight: 1,177 g
Dimensions: Diameter 13.7 cm (at the widest points)

Auction result comparison: Compare a related bronze censer, 23.5 cm wide, with the same mark and also dated 17th-18th century, at Bonhams London in Fine Chinese Art on 8 November 2018, lot 267, sold for GBP 13,750. Compare a closely related bronze censer, 23.2 cm wide, but with an apocryphal Xuande mark and dated to the 18th century, of near-identical form, at Christie’s New York in Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art on 22 March 2013, lot 1284, sold for USD 13,750.
