Description from the seller
Description :
Important lid-covered pot or conical-shaped white Chinese porcelain bouillon, in Kamcheng style. Multicolor decoration in fine enamels of the so-called Qianjiangcai (浅降彩) style, depicting on the body and on the lid lively genre scenes showing elegant people and courtiers in a planted and flowering garden, near a traditional railing. The neck and the central knob of the lid are outlined by gilded borders.
The side and the lid bear rich calligraphic inscriptions in black ink. The main inscription is dated by the Chinese cyclical year “丙辰” (Bingchen) corresponding precisely to winter 1916, accompanied by the poetic formula “風流” (Fengliu) celebrating aesthetic refinement.
Under the base, there is an official square seal mark stamped in red iron, of the Guanyao Neizao type (官窯內造 - Made for domestic use). There are factory marks of the workshops in red ink on the reverse of the lid.
• Origin: China, Jingdezhen workshops.
• Era: Republic Period, precisely dated to winter 1916.
• Dimensions: Height: 16.5 cm | Diameter: 18 cm.
• Weight: 1,100 kg.
Condition Report (Rapport d'état) :
• Good overall condition.
• The colors and gilding have slightly faded with time, offering a natural and expected patina that attests to the piece’s age.
• Note: there is a small wear or firing crack about 5 mm located exclusively on the inner lip of the pot’s rim. This crack remains completely invisible from the outside when the lid is placed on.
• Minor imperfections and firing marks original to the piece.
Notes to bidders :
Although the analysis of the Chinese calligraphic characters, the cyclical calendar and the Qianjiangcai style attest to a purely Chinese manufacture, connoisseurs of Japanese art are invited to carefully examine the detailed photographs to form their own opinion on the object and its possible aesthetic influences.
Description made by AI. As the seller I invite Asian art enthusiasts and connoisseurs to form their own opinion on the object through the photos, which are an integral part of the description.
Total package weight (pot, protection and packing): 3,500 kg
