A LARGE BLUE AND WHITE ‘QILIN’ DISH, TRANSITIONAL TO EARLY KANGXI PERIOD
過渡時期至康熙初期大型青花麒麟盤
Sold for €4,160
including Buyer's Premium
Expert’s note: The ‘Dexin Tang zhi’ inscription to the base is a studio mark that apparently was used during the Kangxi period. For the dating range, we chose the beginning of the Chongzhen reign (1627) and the end of the British Museum dating for their dish (1683).
China, 1627-1683. The interior boldly painted in shades of cobalt blue with a lively qilin sitting on its scaly back haunches, one front leg outstretched, the other with hoof raised, the head gazing forward with bulging eyes and mouth agape revealing sharp fangs, all amid rockwork and a lush plantain tree. The reverse with two spirals and a lozenge. The recessed base with an underglaze-blue four-character studio mark within a double circle.
Inscriptions: To the base, ‘Dexin Tang zhi’
Provenance: Swedish trade. By repute acquired from an old private estate.
Condition: Old wear, a shallow chip to the rim, four hairlines, and some manufacturing flaws including firing cracks, pitting, minuscule frits along the rim, and wave-shaped glaze pooling partially burned to pale orange in the firing process. Overall displaying exceptionally well.
Weight: 2,318 g
Dimensions: Diameter 35.6 cm
Stoutly potted with rounded sides supported on a short tapered foot. Covered in a transparent glaze below the café-au-lait rim.
