Session 1 Sunday 21 July, 12noon (Lots 1–176)

From the Collection of Walter Hochstadter Walter Hochstadter’s life revolved around China and its rich art and culture, despite his birth in Southern Germany. He was born in the city of Augsburg in 1914 and after a long life spent travelling across the globe, passed away in Adelaide in 2007. In his early twenties, Walter Hochstadter journeyed to China, where he studied at the College of Chinese studies in Beijing, beginning in the summer of 1935. While in China, he visited kiln sites and pottery centers, beginning his life long interest in Chinese ceramics, while also initiating his career as an art dealer.

In 1938 he established an address in New York, which he maintained for decades. This home served primarily as a base from where he travelled widely and frequently throughout Asia and Europe, until his late Eighties. During World war II he primarily commuted between Hong Kong and the United States as his parents lived in New York.

After China was liberated in World War II, he returned permanently to Hong Kong, where he resided until he retired to Adelaide in 1997.

Although a very private individual, Walter Hochstadter was well known among connoisseurs scholars and collectors of Chinese art. Among the clients to whom he sold ceramics, bronze vessels, jades, and paintings, were many of the most active American collectors of their day including Avery

Brundage, C.C.Wang, Senator Theodore Francis Green, Eli Lily, J.T. Tai, and Richard Hobart.

Walter sold to venerable institutions such as the Art Institute of Chicago, The Toledo Museum of Art, The Freer Gallery, Cleveland Museum of Art and the Nelson Atkins Museum.

His interest in promoting the appreciation of Chinese art in the West inspired him to donate especially interesting objects to the Yale Art Gallery, the Harvard Art Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, The National Palace Museum, Taipei and the University of Hong Kong, where he was named an Honorary fellow in the late 1950s.

His dedication to the study of Chinese art resulted in the authorship of several highly regarded scholarly texts: Early Chinese Ceramics in the Buffalo Museum of Science (1946) “Pottery and stoneware’s of Shang Chou and Han” (BMFEA, No 24 1952) and “ The real Shen Chou” (Journal of Oriental Studies. 1959/60) His later years were spent conducting research and collecting photographs for a magnum opus.

“A Compendium of Chinese paintings”, in which he sought to present a canon of reliably authentic paintings by China’s great masters. This final project synthesized Walter Hochstadter’s life’s work of encouraging and deepening interest in and love of Chinese art.

AN EXCEPTIONAL IMPERIAL BLUE AND WHITE 'THREE FRIENDS OF WINTER' DISH, QIANLONG SIX-CHARACTER SEAL MARK IN UNDERGLAZE BLUE AND OF THE PERIOD (1736-1795) 清乾隆及本朝 青花歲寒三友圖盤 大清乾隆年制款

33

An exceptional Qianlong imperial porcelain.

The dish's exterior is adorned with a continuous scene depicting a lady in a pavilion setting, accompanied by boys playing in the garden to one side. The intricate and lively design showcases the superb craftsmanship and artistic excellence characteristic of the Qianlong period.

The 'Three Friends of Winter' is a traditional Chinese motif that features the pine tree, bamboo, and plum blossom. These three plants are celebrated for their resilience and endurance during the harsh winter months and are considered symbols of steadfastness, perseverance, and integrity. Each element carries its own cultural significance: Pine: The pine tree remains green throughout winter, symbolizing longevity, endurance, and steadfastness. It represents strength and resilience in the face of adversity.

Bamboo: Bamboo bends but does not break under heavy snow, symbolizing flexibility, humility, and perseverance. It signifies a strong yet adaptable character, able to withstand hardships.

The dish's exterior is adorned with a continuous scene depicting a lady in a pavilion setting, accompanied by boys playing in the garden to one side. The intricate and lively design showcases the superb craftsmanship and artistic excellence characteristic of the Qianlong period.

The 'Three Friends of Winter' is a traditional Chinese motif that features the pine tree, bamboo, and plum blossom.

Each element carries its own cultural significance: Pine: The pine tree remains green throughout winter, symbolizing longevity, endurance, and steadfastness. It represents strength and resilience in the face of adversity.

Bamboo: Bamboo bends but does not break under heavy snow, symbolizing flexibility, humility, and perseverance. It signifies a strong yet adaptable character, able to withstand hardships.

Plum Blossom: The plum blossom blooms in the coldest months, symbolizing renewal, purity, and the promise of spring. It represents beauty, purity, and the triumph of hope and vitality over adversity.

In Chinese art, the 'Three Friends of Winter' motif is often depicted in paintings, ceramics, textiles, and other decorative arts. It not only reflects the artistic appreciation of nature but also conveys moral and philosophical ideals highly valued in Chinese culture.

She wears a beaded and festooned apron, multiple necklaces, armbands, and bracelets adorned with hardstones. Her face features expressively delineated brows and a third eye. Her billowing sash forms a mandorla.

Based on the research by Jean-Luc Estournel in his article 'About the 18 stupas and other treasures once at the Densatil monastery,' it is possible that the figure belongs to Abbot 9 / Stupa 9 / Tashi Gomang 3: Dragpa Sherab (Grags pa shes rab) (1310-1370). The similarities in patterns and visual representation support this attribution. (Fig. 114-117).

A BLUE-GROUND EMBROIDERED SILK 'DRAGON' ROBE (JIFU) QING DYNASTY, 19TH CENTURY 清十九世紀 藍地龍紋吉服 This great example of a late Qing Dynasty dragon garment showcases exquisite embroidery featuring dragons, a symbol of imperial power and authority.

During the Qing Dynasty, the design of robes, especially those adorned with five-clawed dragons, was strictly regulated to signify the status of the wearer. This particular robe, with its intricate dragon embroidery, would have been reserved for certain princes and emperors. The detailed craftsmanship and luxurious materials reflect the robe's importance and the distinguished rank of its owner, making it a significant piece of Qing Dynasty attire.

Minghuang, or bright yellow (used for court ceremonies and sacrificial activities) and Jifu (worn during major celebrations and sacrificial activities) were reserved for the emperor, the empress dowager, and first-rank consorts in formal occasions. Other colours, such as Jinhuang, or golden yellow; Xinghuang, or apricot yellow; and Xiangse, or incense colour (a yellow with a slightly greenish tint); Qiuxiangse, usually a shade of brown or plum were used by various levels of the imperial family. Lower-ranking members of the imperial family wore robes with a blue ground.

The emperors also wore other colours on certain occasions. Blue was used for ceremonies at the altar of prayer for good harvests (Gutan) and the round altar of heaven. The emperor's everyday attire was not strictly regulated in terms of color. 這件晚清時期的龍袍是精美絕倫的刺繡藝術的典範，刺繡圖案以龍 為主題，象徵著皇權和權威。 清朝時期，尤其是裝飾有五爪龍的龍袍設計，受到嚴格管理，用以 彰顯穿戴者的身份地位。這件特定的龍袍，以其精細的龍形刺繡， 本應為某些王子和皇帝所專屬。其精湛的工藝和豪華的材料反映了該 袍的重要性及其主人的尊貴地位，使其成為清代服飾中的重要文物。 明黃色（用於宮廷儀式和祭祀活動）和吉服（在主要慶祝活動和祭祀活動中 穿著）專供皇帝、皇太后和一等嫔妃在正式場合穿著。其他顏色如金黃色、 杏黃色和香色（帶有略帶綠色的黃色）則由不同級別的皇室成員使用。低級 別的皇室成員穿著帶有藍底的袍服。 在特定場合，皇帝也會穿戴其他顏色。藍色常用於祭天祈禱豐收的祭祀儀式 （穀壇）和圜丘天壇。皇帝的日常服飾在顏色上並沒有嚴格規定。 206cm wide, 135cm high $8,000–10,000

This exquisite Ivory Flower Basket marvels with its dental carving finesse, particularly the art of hollow carving. Ivory slices, ground to sheer thinness and patterned, narrate stories through relief-carved flowers, birds, figures, and landscapes. The labor-intensive creation involves dozens of hollow pieces, culminating in an elaborate yet ingeniously crafted design. A playful, citrus-knobbed conical hat tops it off, while six flower-framed sections below unfold with decorative motifs and sixteen vivid scenes of Qing dynasty life, showcasing nearly a hundred characters with distinct expressions. Harmonious and balanced, this piece epitomizes the refined Qing palace taste. A similar Ivory Flower Basket fetched 402,500 RMB at Poly Auction's 2011 Autumn sale (lot 7267).

The Zhushan Eight Friends (zhushanbayou) were representatives of this group, nearly becoming synonymous with the porcelain of that era. Cheng Yiting was born in 1895 and died in 1948, living to the age of 54. He studied flower and bird painting under Pan Taoyu and Zhang Xiaogeng, and later went to Shanghai to study under Cheng Yaosheng. Cheng Yiting's work excelled in both meticulous and freehand styles, often featuring subjects such as pine cranes, lotus ponds, water birds, wisteria, and autumn chrysanthemums. 程意亭(1895――1948)，原名程体孚，别名甫， 艺名翥山樵子、洎山山民，斋名佩古，珠山八友 之一，江西省乐平县人，祖居乐平县城南门外大 码头官路口程家。 25.5cm high $2,700–2,800

A VERY FINE CHINESE SCHOLAR'S ROCK STAND, JI 賞石几 Several elements contribute to the ideal scholar's rock, historically referred to as 'fantastic rocks.' These include its geographic origin, along with the colour and texture of the stone. 'Rocks with somber hues are often prized for their sensual forms, whereas brightly coloured rocks are valued for their voluminous shapes that highlight their colours,' Antebi explains.

Various terms have been coined to describe the desired attributes of a scholar's rock, such as shou (meaning 'thin') and tou (indicating 'openness'). The presence of cavities in the rock is especially valued for the stark contrast they provide to the rock's solidity – and to light. Additional terms relate to the rock's age: gu signifies both 'ancient' and 'elegant,' while jue represents the pinnacle of praise, meaning 'perfect.'

A PAINTED POTTERY FIGURE OF A HUREN TANG DYNASTY (618-907) 唐 陶製加彩胡人甬 The Tang dynasty, which arose in 7th century China, wielded significant influence over its neighbouring countries, earning it the title of the Great Tang Empire. This work is a pottery figurine of a Hu person, which broadly refers to foreign ethnic groups in Chinese art, specifically those from Western regions.

This figure may represent a merchant who travelled back and forth along the Silk Road.

Its deeply carved features, including a full beard, boots, and a coat, clearly distinguish it as non-Han Chinese in an exotic depiction.

The figure still retains some of its original colouration applied over a white slip. The figurine's posture—holding something with its both hands—conveys the long journey from the West and the merchant's weariness.

This is a camel figurine from the Tang dynasty.

The Tang dynasty represents a magnificent era in Chinese history, characterised by its openness to external cultural influences. The Silk Road played a crucial role in introducing new ideas and visual inspiration from abroad.

Highlighting the extensive reach of this trade route, the two-humped Bactrian camel was the favoured transportation for merchants.

These camels could travel longer distances compared to their single-humped Arabian counterparts. Consequently, during the Sui and Tang dynasties, camels increasingly became a popular motif among artists and craftsmen.

This art piece is further enhanced by its intricate fretwork that supports an array of shelves and compartments on either side, offering both functional storage and aesthetic appeal. The craftsmanship reflects a meticulous attention to detail, making it not only a functional piece of furniture but also a stunning element of decor that captures the essence of traditional Japanese artistry.

In the 1850s and 1860s, Japan's initiation of extensive trade with the West ignited a substantial interest in Japanese design aesthetics. This cultural exchange profoundly influenced architects, designers, and artists in France and Victorian Britain, marking a significant period of cross-cultural artistic inspiration.

Terms and Conditions of Sale The terms and conditions of sale listed here contain the policies of Artvisory Pty Ltd. They are the terms on which Artvisory Pty Ltd and the Seller contract with the Buyer.

They may be amended by printed Saleroom Notices or oral announcements made before and during the sale. By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these terms.

b)

1. Background to the Terms used in these Conditions The conditions that are listed below contain terms that are used regularly and may need explanation. They are as follows: “the Buyer” means the person with the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer “the Lot” means any item depicted within the sale for auction and in particular the item or items described against any lot number in the catalogue. “the Hammer price” means the amount of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer in relation to a lot

Images are measured height by width (sight size).

Illustrations are provided only as a guide and should not be relied upon as a true representation of colour or condition. Images are not shown at a standard scale. Mention is rarely made of frames (which may be provided as supplementary images on the website) which do not form part of the lot as described in the printed catalogue.

“the Buyers Premium” means the charge payable by the Buyer to the auction house as a percentage of the hammer price. “the Reserve” means the lowest amount at which Artvisory has agreed with the Seller that the lot can be sold.

“Forgery” means an item constituting an imitation originally conceived and executed as a whole, with a fraudulent intention to deceive as to authorship, origin, age, period, culture or source, where the correct description as to such matters is not reflected by the description in the catalogue. Accordingly no lot shall be capable of being a forgery by reason of any damage or restoration work of any kind (Including re-painting). “the insured value” means the amount that Artvisory in its absolute discretion from time to time shall consider the value for which a lot should be covered for insurance (whether or not insurance is arranged by Artvisory.)

Catalogue and other Descriptions All statements by Artvisory in the catalogue entry for the property or in the condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not to be relied upon as statements of fact.

Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by Artvisory of any kind. References in the catalogue entry to the condition report to damage or restoration are for guidance only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or it’s value for any other purpose. Neither Artvisory nor The Seller is responsible for any errors or omissions in the catalogue or any supplemental material.

c)

Buyers Responsibility All property is sold “as is” without representation or warranty of any kind by Artvisory or the Seller.

Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the property and the matters referred to in the catalogue by requesting a condition report No lot to be rejected if, subsequent to the sale, it has been immersed in liquid or treated by any other process unless the Auctioneer’s permission to subject the lot to such immersion or treatment has first been obtained in writing.

2. Artvisory Auctions as Agent Except as otherwise stated Artvisory Pty Ltd acts as agent for the Seller.

4. At the Sale

3. Before the Sale Examination of Property Prospective Buyers are strongly advised to examine in person any property in which they are interested before the Auction takes place. Neither Artvisory nor the Seller provides any guarantee in relation to the nature of the property apart from the Limited warranty in the paragraph below.

The property is otherwise sold “AS IS”

Bidding as a Principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price including the buyers premium and all applicable taxes, plus all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with Artvisory before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Artvisory and that Artvisory will only look to the principal for payment.

d)

International Registrations All International clients not known to Artvisory will be required to scan through an accredited form of photo identification and pay a deposit at our discretion in cleared funds into Artvisory’s account at least 24 hours before the commencement of the auction. Bids will not be accepted without this deposit. Artvisory also reserves the right to request any additional forms of identification prior to registering an overseas bid.

This deposit can be made using a credit card, however the balance of any purchase price in excess of $5,000 can not be charged to this card without prior arrangement.

This deposit is redeemable against any auction purchase.

e)

Absentee bids Artvisory will use reasonable efforts to execute written bids delivered to us AT LEAST 24 Hours before the sale for the convenience of those clients who are unable to attend the auction in person. If we receive identical written bids on a particular lot, and at the auction these are the highest bids on that lot, then the lot will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors or omissions which may arise. It is the bidder’s responsibility to check with Artvisory after the auction if they were successful. Unlimited or “Buy” bids will not be accepted.

f)

Telephone bids Priority will be given to overseas and interstate bidders. Please refer to the catalogue for the Telephone Bids form. Arrangements for this service must be confirmed AT LEAST 24 HOURS PRIOR to the auction commencing. Artvisory accepts no responsibility whatsoever for any errors or failure to execute bids. In telephone bidding the buyer agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions listed here and accepts that Artvisory cannot be held responsible for any miscommunications in the process. The success of telephone bidding cannot be guaranteed due to circumstances that are unforeseen.

Buyers should be aware of the risk and accept the consequences should contact be unsuccessful at the time of Auction. You must advise Artvisory of the lots in question and you will be assumed to be a buyer at the minimum price of 75% of estimate (ie. reserve) for all such lots. Artvisory will advise Telephone Bidders who have registered at least 24 hours before the auction of any relevant changes to descriptions, withdrawals or any other sale room notices.

Foreign buyers should note that all transactions are in Australian dollars so there may be a small exchange rate risk. The costs associated with acquiring a good certificate will be carried by the purchaser. If the item turns out to be forged or otherwise incorrectly described, all reasonable costs will be borne by the vendor.

All values expressed in Artvisory Pty Ltd catalogues (in any format) are in Australian Dollars (AU$). All bids, “hammer price”, “reserves”, “Buyers Premium” and other expressions of value are understood by all parties to be in Australian Dollars (AU$) unless otherwise specified.

5. After the Sale a)

Buyers Premium In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay to Artvisory the buyer's premium. The buyer’s premium is 26% of the hammer price plus GST. (Goods and Services Tax) where applicable.

b)

Payment and passing of title The buyer must pay to the company trust account managed by KK Partners Pty Ltd Chartered Accountants the full amount due (comprising the hammer price, buyer's premium and any applicable taxes and GST) not later than 3 days after the auction date.

H) Reserves Unless otherwise indicated, all lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the Lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any Lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the Seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders.

I)

J)

The buyer will not acquire title for the lot until Artvisory receives full payment in cleared funds, and no goods under any circumstances will be released without confirmation of cleared funds received.

This applies even if the buyer wishes to send items interstate or overseas.

Payment can be made by direct transfer, cash (not exceeding $5,000AUD, if wishing to pay more than $5,000AUD then this must be deposited directly into the company trust account and bank receipt supplied) and Eftpos (please check your daily limit). Payments can also be made by credit card in person with a 1.43% (inc GST) merchant fee for Visa, Mastercard and American Express. Credit card payments where the card-holder is not present, can not be accepted unless a scanned image of the card and signature is supplied (that corresponds with the supplied signature on the bidding or registration forms). Personal cheques are only accepted with prior arrangement and funds must be cleared before goods will be released. Bank cheques are subject to three days clearance.

Auctioneers Discretion The Auctioneer has the right at his absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he may decide, to withdraw or divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots and, in the case or error or dispute and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to re-offer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, then Artvisory’s sale record is conclusive.

Successful bid and passing of risk Subject to the auctioneer’s discretion, the highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer will be the buyer and the striking of his hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the Seller and the Buyer. Risk and responsibility for the lot (including frames or glass where relevant) passes immediately to the Buyer.

The buyer is responsible for any bank fees and charges applicable for the transfer of funds into Artvisory’s company trust account. c)

for an export licence then we shall be entitled to charge a fee for this service. We shall not be obliged to rescind a sale nor to refund any interest or other expenses incurred by the Buyer where payment is made by the Buyer in circumstances where an export licence is not granted. f)

Remedies for non-payment If the Buyer fails to make full payment immediately, Artvisory is entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies (in addition to asserting any other rights or remedies available under the law) i)

to charge interest at such a rate as we shall reasonably decide

ii)

to hold the defaulting Buyer liable for the total amount due and to commence legal proceedings for it’s recovery along with interest, legal fees and costs to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law

iii)

to cancel the sale

iv) to resell the property publicly or privately on such terms as we see fit v)

to pay the Seller an amount up to the net proceeds payable in respect of the amount bid by the defaulting Buyer. In these circumstances the defaulting Buyer can have no claim upon Artvisory in the event that the item(s) are sold for an amount greater than the original invoiced amount.

vi) to set off against any amounts which Artvisory may owe the Buyer in any other transactions, the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by the Buyer. vii) where several amounts are owed by the Buyer to us, in respect of different transactions, to apply any amount paid to discharge any amount owed in respect of any particular transaction, whether or not the Buyer so directs. viii) to reject at any future auction any bids made by or on behalf of the Buyer or to obtain a deposit from the Buyer prior to accepting any bids. ix) to exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security over any property in our possession owned by the Buyer whether by way of pledge, security interest or in any other way, to the fullest extent permitted by the law of the place where such property is located. The Buyer will be deemed to have been granted such security to us and we may retain such property as collateral security for such Buyer’s obligations to us. x)

to take such other action as Artvisory deem necessary or appropriate If we do sell the property under paragraph (iv), then the defaulting Buyer shall be liable for payment of any deficiency between the total amount originally due to us and the price obtained upon reselling as well as for all costs, expenses, damages, legal fees and commissions and premiums of whatever kinds associated with both sales or otherwise arising from the default.

If we pay any amount to the Seller under paragraph (v) the Buyer acknowledges that Artvisory shall have all of the rights of the Seller, however arising, to pursue the Buyer for such amount.
