Of circular form, supported on four short feet, covered in black lacquer, the cover finely inlaid in mother-of-pearl depicting a scene from Romance of the Western Chamber with a couple sitting on a scholar's rock in a fenced courtyard and a lady secretly watching, the moon rising above the fence, all encircled by a geometric border. The interior inlaid in mother-of-pearl with the seal of Jiang Qianli.Inscriptions: To the interior, 'Qianli'.Provenance: The Strong National Museum of Play, accession number 76.33.16 a (lacquered to base and interior of the cover). Old label 'made in China' to the base. Margaret Woodbury Strong (1897-1969) grew up in a prosperous family of collectors. Her interests ranged so widely that by 1960 she had amassed more than 27,000 collectible items and works of art. The vast majority of her collections related in some way to play and as her accumulation grew, Margaret planned a museum to house her collection. It eventually opened to the public in 1982, and grew dramatically over the following decades, expanding its collections, facilities, and resources, now spanning over 285,000 square feet. Today, the Strong National Museum of Play (known as just The Strong Museum or simply The Strong) is the only collections-based museum in the world devoted solely to the study of play. Condition: Very good condition with old wear, traces of use and age, a minuscule chip to the foot, expected minor age cracks, microscopic losses and nicks.Weight: 117.2 g Dimensions: Diameter 9.3 cmJiang Qianli, alias Qiushui, was a master craftsman from Yangzhou in Jiangsu province. For early studies of Jiang's work see Li Zhongqing 'A Mother-of-Pearl Lacquer Tray by Jiang Qianli', Wenwu, 1959, no. 11, pp. 59-61, and Paul Moss, Emperor, Scholar, Artisan, Monk - The Creative Personality in Chinese Works of Art, London, 1984, page 258. Jiang's name is also mentioned in a number of historical records, including the 1810 edition of the Jiaqing Yangzhou fu zhi (Chronicles of Yangzhou Prefecture in the Jiaqing period) in which Zhang Shiyuan and Yao Youtian record:"During the early years of the Kangxi reign, the scholar Zha Erzhan resided in Weiyang [another name for Yangzhou]. He was an accomplished painter of level distance landscape and the Mi school style of painting. An inch of paper or a foot of silk would be cherished if they were by his hand. There was also Jiang Qiushui whose skill produced mother-of-pearl inlaid lacquerware that was noted for its exquisiteness. These wares were widely sought after for use at banquets. A couplet says, 'Where there are drinking cups and serving trays, there one finds Jiang Qiushui. Where there are scroll paintings, there one finds Zha Erzhan'."The Romance of the Western Chamber, written by Wang Shifu (1250-1300) was immensely popular among all levels of society. Woodblock illustrations in the many editions helped conventionalize images that were instantly recognizable to the general public, thus creating a corpus of motifs that was widely used by painters, silk embroiderers, lacquer workers and other craftsmen.Professor Herbert Giles, whose History of Chinese Literature was published in 1924, refers to the Xixiang Ji as the play “which will best repay reading”. It is the typical story where a handsome student and beautiful girl attempt to cross the social divide, aided and incited by the girl's maid. The dialogue is punctuated with images of wind, snow, moonlight, and flowers, emphasizing both the passion and the romance felt by the struggling couple.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Sotheby's Hong Kong, 7 April 2014, lot 48Price: HKD 325,000 or approx.

(2)The recessed base with an apocryphal underglaze-blue six-character mark da Qing Kangxi nianzhi.The peachbloom glaze has been the focus of scientific research since the mid-20th century. Both the overall soft pinkish red of the glaze, and the areas of clear green which appear to a greater or lesser extent within it owe their hue to copper. Firing in a reducing atmosphere creates the red color, while re-oxidation creates the green. This was therefore a glaze that had to be applied very precisely and fired with great care. Research suggests that a copper-lime pigment was applied between two layers of colorless glaze. The copper-lime pigment was applied by blowing through a bamboo tube with fine silk gauze over the end to achieve an effect similar to modern spraying techniques. This allowed the thickness of the copper-lime layer to be adjusted so that some areas would be thicker than others. In those thicker areas, there was additional flux, which thinned the upper glaze layer and allowed the copper to re-oxidize and produce clear green. In the other areas, some of the pigment was undissolved making it appear slightly opaque and yet smooth on the surface, while the majority of the copper did dissolve and produced a rich pinkish red and creating one of the most highly esteemed glazes from the Qing imperial kilns.十九世紀豇豆紅釉水丞中國，圓唇，無頸，半球狀腹，圈足。通體施豇豆紅釉，口與圈足施白釉。 來源：瑞士日內瓦知名私人收藏，自 1960 年代開始收集，保存至今。該收藏的一個重要部分被永久借出，並在日內瓦的亞非博物館展出了幾十年。底足三個標籤 'Kang Shi F72.500 LC/3'，'AMA 4612/2'，與 'Asia-Africa Museum Geneve'，以及一個庫存編號 '[…]612'。木底座上有兩個標籤 'AMA 2881/L/03 Kang-Shi' 與 AMA '4612/以及底部三個標籤 'AMA 2881 HC3 Kang-Shi'，'AMA 4612/2' 與'Lum Chai 28831' 。隨附一份進入收藏的手寫庫存單複印件。 品相：狀況極好，有輕微磨損和製造缺陷，包括點蝕。木架有輕微磨損。 重量：360.0 克 (不含底座)，477.1 克 (含底座) 尺寸：直徑10.7 厘米 (不含底座)，11.5 厘米 (含底座) 來自同時期的四足雕刻木底座。 (2) 圈足内仿“大清康熙年製“六字款。紅釉是以氧化銅為著色劑，燒製時先在坯上施一層底釉，然後吹上一層顏色釉料，再蓋上一層面釉，入窯高溫還原焰燒成，呈色變化較多。最早出現於唐代的長沙窯。元代始成功地燒製出紅釉器物。明代永樂、宣德時燒製出著名的“寶石紅”釉。清代康熙時，在繼承前代的基礎上不斷創新，先後燒製出郎窯紅、豇豆紅和霽紅。其中以豇豆紅的燒製難度最大，在淡雅的釉色中有萬千變化，基本無大件器物。

Each bowl with an old collection label, 'VWS'. One bowl with an old label, '62'. French trade, acquired from the above. The VWS collection tells the extraordinary story of a family fleeing the Tsarist Empire in Russia. Their journey began in 1903 as the Chinese Eastern Railway, the eastern branch of the Trans-Siberian Railway, was completed. Fleeing, like others, a climate of political persecution and anti-Semitism, the family settled in Harbin, the most northerly city in China and started to develop its businesses from 1906 onwards. Like many others, they were attracted to this cosmopolitan place, then a major economic and cultural center in Manchuria, because of its large Jewish community. In Harbin, the father, a cultured, open-minded and multilingual man, felt at home and his early successes in business earned him respect. By 1932, he and his family were forced to flee again, following the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, and found a new home in Shanghai. From there, his businesses took him to Hong Kong, North America, and other Asian countries, where the family would remain for many years. They began collecting art in China during the 1930s and these artworks have remained with the family heirs ever since.Condition: Superb condition with only minor wear and firing irregularities: The first bowl with a faint glaze line to the rim, the second bowl with three faint glaze lines to the rim, all of which are inherent to the manufacture.

A RARE PAIR OF MING-STYLE GREEN-ENAMELED 'DRAGON' BOWLS, KANGXI PERIODChina, 1662-1722. Each with deep rounded sides supported on a short foot and rising to an everted rim, the exterior finely incised with two five-clawed dragons amid flames and clouds, reserved on the biscuit and covered with green enamel, the interior similarly decorated with three clouds.Provenance: From an old German private collection, acquired in 1980 and thence by descent in the same family. German trade, acquired from the above. Condition: Excellent condition with only very minor old wear and some firing irregularities.Weight: 338 g and 345.9 g (excl. stands) Dimensions: Diameter 18.7 and 18.9 cmThe recessed bases each with an apocryphal underglaze-blue six-character mark da Ming Chenghua nianzhi within a double circle.Each bowl with a finely carved zitan stand, dating from the Qing dynasty. (4)Imperial porcelain bowls decorated with green-enameled dragons first appeared in the Chenghua period, with and sometimes without reign marks, and either enameled with dragons over the glaze or over the biscuit. More were manufactured in later periods of the Ming dynasty, particularly during the Hongzhi and Zhengde reigns, where they were always inscribed with their corresponding reign marks. This motif, which is also found on matching saucer dishes, required each vessel to be fired twice: First the design was incised on the biscuit and covered with a layer of wax, which would melt during the first firing and reveal the pinkish buff body underneath. This was later filled with green enamel and fired a second time at a much lower temperature. The result is rather spectacular, because the dragons appear as if they are literally leaping off the surface of the bowls.Literature comparison: For the Chenghua prototype of this design, see two bowls with dragons enameled over the biscuit silhouettes, in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, included in the Museum's exhibition Chenghua ciqi tezhan (Special Exhibition of Ch'eng-Hua Porcelain Ware), Taipei, 2003, cat. nos. 110 and 111.
