A CELADON AND RUSSET JADE ‘LOTUS LEAF’ BRUSH WASHER, 17TH CENTURY
十七世紀青玉留皮蓮葉筆洗

Sold for €2,528

including Buyer's Premium


Lot details

China. The deep rhyton-shaped vessel finely carved as a furled lotus leaf with boldly incised veins to the exterior, the oval base in the form of entwined branches with smaller curved leaves and a lotus bud. The mostly translucent stone of a deep celadon tone with russet shadings skillfully incorporated in the depiction as well as dark speckles and cloudy white inclusions.

Provenance: Property from the George Brauel Collection. Christie's New York, 6 April 2010, lot 358 (part lot). Roger Keverne, London, acquired from the above. Roger Keverne served as the Chairman of Asian Art in London and as the President of BADA. He began his 50-year career with Spink & Son, rising to head the Asian department by the age of only 28. He left Spink in 1992 to start his own gallery together with Miranda Clarke, his wife and business partner, in Mayfair, London, which eventually closed its doors in June 2020.
Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear and microscopic nibbling here and there.

Weight: 215.8 g
Dimensions: Length 10.2 cm

Expert’s note: The furled lotus leaf design became popular because its wavy lip could be used as a brush rest. Opposed to that, rhytons mostly have a straight lip.

Auction result comparison: Compare a related celadon jade leaf-form brush washer, dated 17th-18th century, at Sotheby’s New York in Fine Chinese Ceramics & Works of Art on 17 September 2013, lot 123, sold for USD 25,000.
