A RARE SANCAI GLAZED ‘BOVINE’ RHYTON, KANGXI PERIOD
康熙罕見三彩牛頭杯

Sold for €2,340

including Buyer's Premium


Lot details

China, 1662-1722. Well modeled in the form of a bovine head with two horns joined by a raised rope leading to the animal’s nostrils. Further detailed with large eyes and splashed with aubergine, green, and ochre glazes, all typical for this ware and as expected for the period.

Provenance
: Stefanos Lagonico, Alexandria, and thence by descent over several generations in the same family. Stefanos Lagonico was a member of the wealthy Greek community of Alexandria whose family settled in Egypt in the late 19th century. His collection of important Iznik ceramics was formed after the First World War, comprising mostly plates and jugs from the classic period (post 1570). At least six pieces from this collection were included in the important 1925 Exposition d'Art Musulman in Alexandria. Lagonico eventually left Egypt for Switzerland, just before the rise of nationalism and the abolition of the Capitulations in May 1937. His son Jean, an importer of dried fruits and nuts from the Levant, inherited most of the collection, and kept it in obscurity at his house in southern France until its dispersal at auction beginning in 1991.
Condition: Fine wear overall. Some firing irregularities, minuscule hairlines, the horns with small old repairs, a minute chip with associated fill to the rim.

Weight: 161.5 g (excl. base) and 225.5 g (incl. base)
Dimensions: Length 11.7 cm (excl. base) and 11 cm (the base)

With a fitted huali wood base from the late 19th century. (2)

來源:亞歷山大港Stefanos Lagonico,在同一家族保存了幾代。每一個盤底都有一個打印並手寫的標籤No. 4603。 Stefanos Lagonico是富有的亞歷山大希臘社區的成員,他的家人在十九世紀後期定居在埃及。他的重要伊茲尼克陶瓷收藏是在第一次世界大戰後建立的,主要包括古典時期(1570 年後)的盤子和水壺。該系列中至少有六件作品曾在 1925 年亞歷山大港藝術博覽會中展覽。後來,Lagonico 離開埃及前往瑞士,就在 1937 年 5 月民族主義興起和投降條約廢除之前。他的兒子 Jean 是黎凡特干果和堅果的進口商,他繼承了大部分藏品,並一直默默無聞地保存在他法國南部的房子裏,直到 1991 年開始被拍賣。
品相:整體品相良好。一些製造瑕疵、細小的裂紋,兩角有小修,邊緣有一個微小的開片與其小修充。

重量:161.5 克 (不含底座),225.5 克 (含底座)
尺寸:長11.7 厘米(不含底座) ,11 厘米 (底座)
