Exhibitions: For an almost identical plate see ‘Collecting Chinese Export Porcelain’ by Elinor Gordon, Page 56, Item No 42 and The Collection of The Victoria & Albert Museum, London, Ref: C1358–1924.

Literature: Rotterdam Riot’ plates were noted in François and Nicole Hervouët and Yves Bruneau, La Porcelaine des Compagnies des Indes à Décor Occidental, Paris, 1986, cat. no. 9.35, as the earliest example of Chinese export porcelain documented with Europea European historical and political subjects. The riots occurred in Rotterdam between September and October 1690 after a young guard, Cornelius Kosterman, accidentally killed a man while smuggling wine into the city hall to celebrate with his colleagues. Kosterman was sentenced to death by then Chief Baliff Jacob van Zuylen van Nyevelt. The public was enraged by the injustice and riots ensued. The source of the subject matter comes from a popular medal stuck by Dutch medalist Johannes Smeltzig (1656–1693) after an engraving by G. van Loon.

Woodblock illustrations in many editions also concentrated on core scenes, thus creating a number that were widely used by painters. For this reason there are many examples of porcelain with scenes from ‘The Western Chamber’.

The Avalon Collection. This collection, which in the main focuses on the Interregnum and Kangxi periods has been both carefully and sensitively formed over the last twenty–five years. (…)

Literature: The vase depicts the story of the Song military general Yue Fei, with his mother tattooing his back with four characters of ’Jing Zhang Bao Guo’ meaning ‘serve the country with unreserved loyalty’. The common legend of Yue receiving the tattoo from his mother first appeared in ‘ Shuo Yue Quanzhuan’. Yue Fei is one of China’s most celebrated generals. Born during the warring period of the Northern Song Dynasty (1103– 1142) he was known not only for his military success but also for his high ethical standards. Although he was accused of treason and subsequently executed in January 1142 he was exonerated in 1126 by a new Song emperor and has remained a national hero. The temple in Hangzhou dedicated to him remains a popular tourist attraction.

Lot no 807–830. An extensive famille rose ’double peacock’ dinner service, Qing dynasty, Qianlong (1736–95).

This pattern, known as « Serviço dos Pavões » or « double peacocks Service », is one of the most famous design in Chinese Export Porcelain, specially in Portugal and Brazil.

The royal family of Portugal owned one service with it. When Napoleon invaded Portugal, The King Joao VI, soon Emperor of Brazil, fled in exile to Brazil and brought his six Chinese porcelain services with him, including this one. The royal and imperial family used it then at the Paço de São Cristóvão and at Fazenda Imperial de Santa Cruz.

It is known as the “viajante” service because, it first travelled from China to Portugal, and then from Portugal to Rio de Janeiro. When the Empire turned into the Republic of Brazil, the six Chinese porcelain services of the Joao VI were scattered through auctions held in 1890 by the auctioneer Joaquin Dias dos Santos in Rio de Janeiro.

Since the archives of the auction house burned, it is now impossible to distinguish the pieces formerly owned by the King Joao VI from the pieces with this pattern produced at the same period.

After the war he returned to the family business and served as President of Butler Paper Company, from 1930 to 1965, but soon noticed a business opportunity in private aircrafts.

Provenance: Almost all patterns taken from European prints and paintings were commissioned as special orders by captains and supercargoes for their clients in Europe. The Dutch East India Company took part in this specific trade for a limited period between 1734 and 1738, by commissioning the Dutch painter and designer Cornelis Pronk (1691–1759) to produce patterns. These were meant to be sent to Jingdezhen and to be executed onto a vast range of Chinese porcelain, such as garnitures, and dinner and tea services. This vase, dating to 1738, belongs to this group. The scene, entitled The Doctors or The Doctors Visiting the Emperor, was designed by Pronk in 1735 and sent to China in 1736, arriving only at the end of 1737. The finished products were sent back to the Netherlands at the end of 1738 and in 1739. A second, simpler version of the design with only three figures was sent to China in 1739. This scene was originally designed after a motif in traditional Chinese iconography, illustrating the legend of the woodcutter Wang Shi who encountered three Daoist gods playing chess in a cave.

Erik Nordström was commissioned after a recommendation by Swedish minister Gustav Oscar Wallenberg, the Envoyé of Japan and China, as Post General in Shanghai at the Royal Chinese General Post Office in 1910. The aim was to help facilitate its work throughout China. He was positioned in several of the Chinese provinces (he often chose the northern provinces due to their resemblance to the northern Sweden where he stems from) over his 35 years in the postal service. Gustav Oscar Wallenberg who became a close and dear friend of Erik Nordström, was a keen collector of Chinese ceramics and introduced him to the art of collecting by defining age, quality and heritage as they visited the antique shops of Beijing. The vast collection of Eric Nordström contains a variety of objects of which many were acquired for the purpose of everyday use, hence the wear to many of the objects. During his time in China he encountered and befriended many of the Swedish society who both worked and lived as well as passed through China at the time, i.e. Johan Gunnar Andersson and wife, Sven Hedin, Carl Bonde, Sten Thiel in the company of Nils von Dardel and his then fiancé Nita Wallenberg, to name only a few. Erik Nordström was a keen sportsman and always liked a challenge whether it be hunting, shooting or tennis. He retired in China in 1945 and spent his last years in Qingdao before his return to Sweden in 1948.

By the time he left China in 1948 he and his family had experienced the Chinese revolution, World War I and the Japanese invasion and World War II.
