A SMALL GLASS ‘REALGAR IMITATION’ CUP, 18TH CENTURY
十八世紀仿雄黃料小盅

Sold for €2,528

including Buyer's Premium


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 opaque glass is of bright variegated tones with an elegant pattern of scarlet, yellow, and green swirls 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, the rim with very minor nibbling.

Weight: 48.2 g
Dimensions: Diameter 5.4 cm

Expert’s note: Early realgar-glass wares sometimes show green streaks, a rare color added to the glass paste mixture and probably derived from copper.

品相:狀況極好,有輕微磨損和製作時固有的不規則性,邊沿有非常輕微的磨損。

重量:48.2 克
