青花《荷塘圖》碗

Sold for €1,820

including Buyer's Premium


Lot details

China for the Annamese court, 18th - 19th century. The deep rounded sides supported on a thick straight foot, the exterior finely painted in shades of cobalt-blue with a lotus pond, large blossoms, pods, leaves rising from the water, and two small crabs.

Inscriptions: To base, ‘Neifu shizhong’.
Provenance: From a German private collection.
Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear and firing irregularities.

Weight: 471.5 g
Dimensions: Diameter 19.3 cm

From the 1700s onwards, kings of the Le-Trinh dynasty in Vietnam ordered porcelain from China for their court. This type is named after Hué, the 19th-century capital of the last royal dynasty in Vietnam, the Nguyen dynasty (1802-1945). Although Chinese artisans executed the painting, the Vietnamese rulers dictated the designs. Each ruler ordered ceramics of his own liking for use in his court, as well as presentation pieces to give to members of royal families and mandarin officials.

The marks on bleu de Hué are frequently puzzling, the more so when one thinks one can read Chinese. Sometimes they appear to be readily legible, but that can be deceiving, because the meanings derive from adaptations of Chinese script by the scholar Nguyen Thuyen in the thirteenth century. Sometimes the characters are used in the Chinese sense, and sometimes they represent Vietnamese pronunciations or phrases.
