Sold for €6,320
including Buyer's Premium
China, 1368-1644. The rounded sides rising from a straight foot to a broad everted rim. The center with a large peony flanked by four smaller leafy floral sprays of different kinds, framed by a thin band also bisecting the corners and terminating in cloud lappets. The rim further inlaid with various single-flowerhead sprays repeated to the exterior, the recessed base lacquered red.
Provenance: The Mee-Din and Robert W. Moore Collection of Chinese Lacquer. Robert W. Moore is a famed California collector of Chinese and Korean art, whose passion began in the 1950s when he served in the US Army and was stationed in Korea. After his return to the United States, he began collecting Korean and later also Chinese works of art, particularly lacquer, and over the following decades became a very knowledgeable, discerning, and influential collector.
Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age, and absolutely original (inspected under strong blue light). Old wear, expected crackling, small chips to edges, few minor losses. With a fine, naturally grown patina overall.
Weight: 712.8 g
Dimensions: Size 37.5 x 23.3 x 5.1 cm
Literature comparison: For a closely related tray in the Palace Museum, of identical size and with the same cloud lappets at the corners, see Gugong Bowuyuan Cang Wenwu Zhenpin Quanji (Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum), Lacquer Wares of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Hong Kong, 2006, p.139, no. 102.

For a smaller tray (17.8 cm square) with more elaborate decoration, dated late Yuan to early Ming, see Christie’s New York, Fine Chinese Ceramics & Works of Art, 22 March 2019, lot 1644.
