THREE-DAY AUCTION - Fine Chinese Art / 中國藝術集珍 / Buddhism & Hinduism
530
A FAMILLE VERTE BISCUIT FIGURE OF BUDDHA, QING DYNASTY
清代素三彩佛像
Sold for €1,950
including Buyer's Premium
Expert’s note: While the enamels on the Buddha’s robe and legwear are quite finely worked, the craftsman paid special attention to the unglazed face, hands and feet. The fingernails and wrinkles of the toes for example show the high level of skill which normally is expected only from 18th century wares.
China, 18th-19th century. Finely modeled and seated in padmasana on a single lotus pedestal with the leaves pointing upwards, Buddha holds a miniature seven-tiered pagoda, and is glazed in aubergine, emerald-green, and pale yellow. He wears a beaded necklace and a famille noire robe with a lotus design hem, painted with butterflies, peony, prunus, aster, and hibiscus flowers. The trousers show a soaring crane amidst swirling clouds. The snail-curled hair of the Buddha is glazed in a vibrant blue while the unglaze biscuit face has a serene expression set with heavy-lidded, downcast eyes, subtly smiling lips, and elongated lobes.
Provenance: From a private collection in central California, U.S.A.
Condition: Superb condition with some old wear, minor firing irregularities, glaze recesses, pitting. Small surface scratches and a minor loss to the top of the miniature pagoda. Overall presenting remarkably well.
Weight: 910 g
Dimensions: Height 23.6 cm

清代素三彩佛像
中國，十八至十九世紀。佛祖結跏趺坐於蓮花座上，青粓色螺髮髻，披蓋兩肩的黑地蓮花紋袍服，敞前胸，佩戴瓔珞，兩手交疊在腹前共作法界定印，持一座小七層寶塔。三彩釉色為紫紅色、翠綠色和淺黃色。黃地袍褲上飾祥雲中飛翔的仙鶴。表情安詳，兩眼微閉，微露笑容，長耳垂。
專家注釋：雖然袈裟和腿褲上的琺瑯相當精細，未上釉的臉部、手腳，例如指甲和腳趾的皺紋，都顯示了極高的水準。
來源：美國加利福尼亞中部私人收藏。
