Lot details

China. The deep rounded sides rising from a thick, tapered foot, with a central domed protuberance to the recessed base, to an everted rim. The mostly opaque glass is of bright variegated tones with a distinct pattern of reddish-orange patches and opaque orange borders on a dark-red reserve to the exterior, the interior of a decent café-au-lait tone.

Provenance: Acquired by Marcus Ezekiel on 27 September 1920, presumably from John Sparks Ltd., London. A copy of a page from Marcus Ezekiel’s handwritten ledger, noting the “2 glass cups” purchased on the aforementioned date, accompanies this lot. The Ezekiel Collection was formed by Marcus Ezekiel (1854-1927) and his son Victor (1905-1976), two leading figures in the formative years of Chinese art collecting in London in the first part of the 20th century, and important early members of the Oriental Ceramic Society. Marcus Ezekiel formed an extensive collection of Chinese art, mostly ceramics, but with a small yet important group of Chinese glass wares.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and manufacturing-inherent irregularities, including a pit to one side, the rim with very minor nibbling.

Weight: 42.8 g
Dimensions: Diameter 5.4 cm
