Lot 739. A large wucai 'dragon' dish, Kangxi six-character mark in underglaze blue within a double circle and of the period (1662-1722), 12 ¾ in. (32.4 cm.) diam. Estimate USD 50,000 - USD 70,000. © Christie's Images Ltd 2017
The dish is decorated in the center with pairs of five-clawed dragons and phoenixes in flight amidst peony leaves and blossoms, and the well is decorated en suite with dragons, phoenixes and peony. The exterior is also decorated with dragons and phoenixes amidst morning glory and chrysanthemum flowers and leafy stems.
Provenance: Private collection, Montmorency, France.
Note: The present dish is remarkable for its well-preserved enamels, which remain bright and lustrous. The dragon and the phoenix decoration, two auspicious creatures which represent the Emperor and the Empress respectively, suggest that the dish was intended for an aristocratic and influential owner.
A few dishes of similar size and decoration are preserved in important museum collections: one example in the Palace Museum, Beijing, is illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum - 38 - Porcelains in Polychrome and Contrasting Colours, Hong Kong, 1999, p. 144, no. 132, and another is illustrated by J. Ayers, Far Eastern Ceramics in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, 1980, no. 192. A further example is illustrated by Yang Boda, The Tsui Museum of Art, Chinese Ceramics IV, Qing Dynasty, Hong Kong, 1995, no. 98.
