Lot details

China, 1115-1232. With rounded flaring sides resting on a stoutly potted ring foot, covered inside and out with a chalk-white slip, vividly painted in bright iron-red, green, and yellow enamels with a songbird shown in profile in a central medallion framed by four concentric rings interspersed with clustered red dots lined up on an inner circle, all covered with a clear glaze, the exterior plain and the white slip ending above the foot, the exposed stoneware fired tan-brown.

Provenance: The Jiyuanshanfang Collection. North American trade, acquired from the above. The Jiyuanshanfang Collection is currently housed on New York’s Upper East Side and was originally founded upon an old family collection. A comprehensive catalog of the collection titled “Song Ceramics: The Eight Kiln Groups” was published in 2008 with a foreword written by Li Zhiyan, Research Fellow at the Beijing Palace Museum. Another contributor to this catalog was Martin Lorber, formerly Director of Sotheby’s New York. Jiyuanshanfang’s first exhibition was held in 2012 at the Morris Museum in New Jersey. In 2015, Jiyuanshanfang lent early Chinese ceramics to a large-scale exhibition at the Norton Museum of Art in Palm Beach, Florida, titled “High Tea: Glorious Manifestations – East and West”.
Condition: Very good condition with some old wear and firing flaws, including dark spots and kiln grit, minor nicks to the foot, a few small and shallow chips to the exterior sides, one hairline, and light surface scratches. The enamels are remarkably well preserved overall.

Weight: 391.2 g
Dimensions: Diameter 16.8 cm

Expert’s note:
Cizhou bowls of this red and green enameled type are usually decorated with fish or flower motifs. Examples with bird designs are extremely rare.
