康熙大型花口硬彩刀馬人物盤

A buyer’s premium of 30.00% (including VAT) applies to the hammer price of this lot if your bid is successful.
China, 1662-1722. The shallow rounded sides rising from a tapered foot to an everted foliate rim. Finely painted in bright enamels, including a magnificent sapphire-blue, with gilt highlights to depict a dynamic scene of equestrian warriors, foot soldiers, and bannermen engaged in a battle, in a verdant mountain landscape with rockwork, trees, shrubbery, flowers, and swirling clouds. Encircled at the rim by shaped cartouches enclosing landscapes with rockwork and trees against a brocade-patterned ground. The recessed base with an underglaze-blue artemisia leaf mark within a double circle.
Provenance: Collection of Madame de Rothschild. Sotheby’s Monaco, 21-22 May 1978, lot 78. A noted private collection in Geneva, Switzerland, acquired from the above, and thence by descent. An important part of this collection was on permanent loan and exhibited over several decades at the Asia-Africa Museum in Geneva. The base with two old collector’s labels, ‘O5.SSS’ and ‘A1’. The base with an old collector’s number inscribed, ‘AMA-3537’. A copy of the previous owner’s handwritten notes from 1978, confirming the provenance above, and detailing information regarding the present lot (numbered ‘3537/78’) accompanies this lot.
Condition: Very good condition with some old wear and expected manufacturing irregularities. The rim with some fritting and few shallow chips. Occasional minor scratches. Minute flaking to enamels.
Weight: 1,620 g
Dimensions: Diameter 37 cm

Note the central general’s smiling expression, who is probably being ambushed by some of the fiercer-looking warriors surrounding him.
Expert’s Note: During the early Qing dynasty, up until the early 1680s, conditions were unsettled in China and the making of Imperial wares as well as the use of reign marks on porcelain was restricted in various ways. During this period, different types of other marks came into use, including artemisia leaf marks.

Type: Closely related
Auction: Christie’s New York, 18 January 2018, lot 16
Price: USD 43,750 or approx. EUR 49,000 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing
Description: A large famille verte dish, Kangxi period
Expert remark: Compare the closely related subject with a similar battle scene, decoration with similarly vibrant sapphire blue, use of gilt, brocade pattern to the rim, and underglaze blue artemisia leaf mark within a double circle. Note the near-identical size (38.7 cm) as well as the straight everted rim (as opposed to the foliate rim on the present lot).
