A PAIR OF CLOISONNÉ ENAMEL FIGURES OF DUCKS, QING DYNASTY
清代一對銅胎掐絲琺瑯鴨子
Sold for €1,690
including Buyer's Premium
China, 1780-1840. Modeled standing with upright head, the wings and tail decorated with colorful enamels, the body with a turquoise ground. The exposed bronze areas finished in fine gilt.
Provenance: Stefanos Lagonico, Alexandria, and thence by descent over several generations in the same family. Stefanos Lagonico was a member of the wealthy Greek community of Alexandria whose family settled in Egypt in the late 19th century. His collection of important Iznik ceramics was formed after the First World War, comprising mostly plates and jugs from the classic period (post 1570). At least six pieces from this collection were included in the important 1925 Exposition d'Art Musulman in Alexandria. Lagonico eventually left Egypt for Switzerland, just before the rise of nationalism and the abolition of the Capitulations in May 1937. His son Jean, an importer of dried fruits and nuts from the Levant, inherited most of the collection, and kept it in obscurity at his house in southern France until its dispersal at auction beginning in 1991.
Condition: Good condition with minor wear and manufacturing irregularities such as expected pitting, few minor dents and losses to enamels.
