Lot details

China, 1661-1722. The shallow dish with scalloped rim, boldly painted in gilt and bright enamels of emerald-green, apple-green, yellow, red, and aubergine, as well as iron-red. The central roundel depicting two court ladies in a garden beside a prunus tree, a table with antique treasures to their right, encircled by a band of floral sprays interspersed with four cartouches enclosing Buddhist lions and auspicious objects. The rim painted with gilt and iron-red lappets.

Provenance: From the private collection of Richard and Maxine Markell. Richard Markell (1932-2021) was the son of chiropractor Maurice J. Markell, who established the family business Markell Shoes focusing on orthopedic footwear and orthotic devices. Richard and his wife Maxine (1935-2019) were avid collectors of Asian art, specializing in Chinese porcelain. Over the years, the couple amassed an extraordinary selection of extremely well-enameled pieces. They bought from some of the best dealers of their generation, and their purchases spanned 250 years of Chinese porcelain production. Their earliest works date from the beginning of the Qing dynasty, and generally reflect the Western taste for the famille verte and famille rose wares of the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong reigns.
Condition: Very good condition with only minor old wear and manufacturing flaws including pitting and dark spots, and minor fritting.
