The history of Chinese tea and wine cups reflects a profound interplay of craftsmanship, cultural exchange, and aesthetic innovation. These vessels evolved in form and material throughout the history, embodying the values and technical prowess of their eras. Materials such as early stoneware, organic materials (Lot 2 coconut cups and Lot 3 lacquer cup), silver (Lot 1), and porcelain —including monochrome, blue-and-white and famille rose—served both functional and symbolic roles, revealing the sophistication of Chinese artisanship and the social hierarchies of China.

The Tang era (618-906), marked by economic prosperity and cosmopolitanism, saw tea and wine culture flourish. Lot 5 CHANGSHA POLYCHROME-DECORATED TEA BOWL was a typical drinking vessel during the Tang dynasty.

The Song dynasty (960–1279) witnessed a shift toward understated elegance, influenced by Confucian ideals and the rise of tea connoisseurship. Dark-glazed tea bowls (Lots 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 17) were favoured for their aesthetic contrast with the milky white tea that was popular at the time. Lot 11 presents a beautiful JIZHOU LEAF-DECORATED TEA

BOWL, showing the exquisite decoration technique innovated during this period. Celadon tea bowls produced at Yaozhou and Longquan were popular from the Song to Ming dynasty (1368-1644).

Ming and Qing dynasty (1644-2011) artisans pushed technical boundaries of porcelain production, which also reflected on various shapes, colour palettes for domestic and export markets. Lot 40 TWO DEHUA RHINOCEROS HORN-FORM LIBATION CUPS showing the unusual shape derived from organic materials. The two IRON-RED-DECORATED 'DRAGON' WINE CUPS in Lot 28 and 29, respectively dated to the Tongzhi and Guangxu period, showing the imperial kilns’ mastery refinement during the Qing dynasty. The legacy continues to the 20th century Lot 41 SET OF TEN CHINESE QIANJIANGENEMALLED CUPS, which is fun to collect.

From Tang simplicity to Qing’s polychrome brilliance, Chinese tea and wine cups transcended utility, becoming canvases for artistic ambition. Their evolution mirrors China’s historical trajectory—a blend of tradition and innovation—that continues to captivate collectors and scholars today.

CHINESE JIZHOU LEAF-DECORATED TEA BOWL

SOUTHERN SONG DYNASTY

南宋 吉州窯木葉天目碗 帶木盒

of conical shape, decorated on the interior with the light-buff gossamer imprint of a large leaf against the dark-brown glaze, which thins to an amber colour at the rim and ends above the foot, with a Japanese wooden box tomobako 10.7cm diameter

Note: Leaf-decorated tea bowls, referred to in Chinese as muye wan (‘tree-leaf-pattern bowls’), are the most famous products of the Jizhou kilns and among the most celebrated of all ceramics made for tea use. The design was created by affixing a leaf to the interior of a bowl and then immersing the bowl in a dark brown glaze slurry. When fired in the kiln, chemical reactions stripped the leaf of its dark brown colour, creating a ghostly impression of the leaf structure, typically golden amber or pale yellow in colour. For further discussion of the processes involved in producing leaf decoration and for two examples of bowls decorated in this manner, the first from the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago and the second from the Arthur M. Sackler Museum, Harvard University, see R. Mowry, Hare’s Fur, Tortoiseshell, and Partridge Feathers, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1996, pp. 259-62, nos. 107 and 108.

木葉紋飾是吉州窯最富創意的藝術創造，亦為歷來專為茶事所製陶瓷中最為人稱頌者。此一裝飾手法乃是在碗內貼附木葉，後施以深 褐色釉漿。經窯火燒成後，化學反應使葉片本身的深褐色被剝除，留下其葉脈結構幽靈般的印記，常呈金琥珀或淡黃色。關於木葉天 目碗的工藝流程，以及兩件近例——其一藏於芝加哥藝術博物館，另一藏於哈佛大學亞瑟·M·薩克勒博物館——可參見R. Mowry所著 Hare’s Fur, Tortoiseshell, and Partridge Feathers，劍橋、麻薩諸塞州，1996年），頁259至262，圖版107與108。

£6,000-8,000

CHINESE GILT-DECORATED AND INSCRIBED ‘YULINTING’ TEA BOWL

宋 遇林亭窯 黑釉金彩'壽山福海'茶碗 帶木盒

of conical form, covered overall in a black glaze, where the glaze running thinly around the rim to a light brown, the interior delicately decorated with evenly spaced four characters ‘shou, shan, fu, hai’ or ‘Mountains of longevity and seas of fortune”, in quatrefoil cartouches in the cardinal directions, the remaining space filled with long gilt streaks, the base left unglazed exposing the stonewware body, with Japanese tomobako wooden box 10.8cm diameter

Provenance: J.A.N Fine Art, London; formerly in a Japanese private collection

倫敦J.A.N Fine Art；前日本私 人收藏

Note: The kiln sites of Yulinting were situated in Wuyi Mountain, Fujian province, and were directly in competition with the successful Jian ware kilns also located in Fujian province. To differentiate their wares from the Jian ware kilns, the potters at the Yulinting kiln sites explored new techniques to create unique and ingenious decorative features such as overlay painting with gold and silver paint which proved to be popular for drinking green tea.

15.5cm diameter

Provenance: Formerly in a private Japanese collection

前日本私人收藏

Note: The remarkable glaze seen on this bowl was an innovation of the pioneering potters at the Jizhou kilns in Jiangxi province. Known as ‘tortoiseshell’ glaze, its name was derived supposedly from its similarity to the shell of a warm-water sea turtle known as the hawksbill. Compare to two similar tortoiseshell-glazed bowls, both dated to the Southern Song dynasty, one in the Sir Percival David collection, British Museum, registration number: PDF305; the other in the Scheinman Collection, see R.

RARE PARCEL-GILT-BRONZE ARCHAISTIC ‘HEAVENLYROOSTER’ RITUAL VESSEL, ZUN MING TO QING DYNASTY

明至清 局部鎏金銅天雞尊

majestically cast with a rooster standing upright with slightly upturned wings and inward curling tail, finely decorated on the body with scrolling lotus, key fret, and ruyi heads, the plumage finely detailed, the head with alerted eyes and mouth ajar, adorned on the front chest with a taotie mask, the bird bears a squaresection gu-form vase on its back, the archaistic vase further decorated with flanges, taotie masks, and stylised kui dragons

28cm high; 3549g

Note: This parcel-gilt bronze bird and vase group is a fine example of works of art during the Ming and Qing dynasty, which reflect a passionate interest in antiquities not only within the scholar class but also amongst the upper echelons of the newly wealthy merchant class. This magnificent bird is usually known in Chinese as a ‘heavenly rooster’ (tian ji 天雞). Rooster 雞 ji provides a pun for 吉 ji, meaning auspicious, and thus the bird is a symbol of good fortune. In addition, a rooster is a symbol of high rank because of its cockscomb, 雞冠 jiguan in Chinese, which is a pun for 官 guan, meaning official. The vase on the bird’s back also has auspicious connotations. The vase can be either 瓶 ping, is a pun for 平安 ping’an, meaning peace, and the squaresection form 四方 si fang means all directions, can further be understood as all over, hence peace to the world.

A Ming dynasty inlaid bronze bird and vase group, with the design of the bird slightly different, but similarly with a square gu vase on its back, is in the collection of the National Palace Museum, Taipei, accession no. Zhong Tong 中銅527N; Also see another comparable example, with similar design to the bird, bearing a vase with three monkeys, dated to the Tang dynasty, in the same collection as above, accession no. Gu Tong 故銅2430N; Three more examples in the same museum, one bearing a handled vase, late Ming dynasty, one bearing an archaistic vessel, you, Qing dynasty, and the last with the bird in recumbent position, bearing a rounded gu vase, Ming dynasty, with respective accession nos. Zhong Tong 中銅1111N; Gu Tong 故銅2533N; and Gu Tong 故銅2514N.

During the Qing dynasty, works of art like this flourished in different materials, including cloisonné, porcelain, and carved jade and hardstones. A Qing dynasty example made in cloisonné enamel, also bearing a gu vase with flanges, is in the National Taipei Museum, Taipei, accession no. Zhong Fa 中琺625N.

這件局部鎏金銅天雞尊依仿古風格而製，造型典雅，屬同類製器典範。明至清代慕古之風正盛，高古藝術深受文人墨客推崇，更得商賈貴族青睞，同發思古幽情。此鳥 貌似鳳凰，實為天雞。「雞」，音「吉」，寓意吉祥；雞冠之「冠」，音「官」，可寓加官進爵。雞背馱盛器「瓶」，音「平」，即平安無恙，四方可謂天下太平。

臺北故宮博物院藏一銅錯金銀天雞尊，天雞造型有別，但背上負尊似方觚，製於明代，館藏號「中銅527N」；院藏另一尊天雞造型與本品較爲類似，背負三猴瓶，定年 唐代，館藏號「故銅2430N」。院藏範例另有三者，其一背負連把瓶，定年晚明，其二背馱提樑卣，定年清代，其三呈坐式背負觚式瓶，定年明代，館藏號分別爲「中銅 1111N」、「故銅2533N」及「故銅2514N」，可資比較。

清代期間，此形制不僅見於銅器，更紛呈於諸多材質，涵蓋掐絲琺瑯、陶瓷及玉石。臺北故宮博物院藏一掐絲琺瑯製例，作於清代，與本品類似雞喙尖細，盛器呈出戟 圓觚形，館藏號「中琺625N」。

Back of the plaques each bears a label, in French ‘Fabrique d’Emaux Cloisonné de Teuo-Tcheng. La seule et veritable fabrique d’emaux cloisonnés de Teuo-Tcheng se trouve a Peking en dehors de la porte Tsien-men vers le milieu de la rue Yan-mei-tchou-sie-kiai (cote nord)’, and in Chinese.

前顯赫蘇格蘭私人收藏，格拉斯哥，於1972年購自位於倫敦布魯克街49號的骨董藝廊Redburn Antiques； 屏背各貼中法文長方籤，中文款識「德成琺瑯局。今有無恥之輩假充德成字號然本號有票賜顧客詳認住京都前門外楊梅竹斜街中間路北便是」。

Note: Decheng workshop (德成) or Decheng Manufactory (德成琺瑯局), with its Quanxingcheng factory (全興成), was established in 1860, likely at the end of the Second Opium War, and had to close around 1935. Its founder and owner, Jia Derun (賈德潤, 1840–1900), courtesy name Yuhua 玉華, hailed from the present-day province of Shandong. Coming from a peasant family, Jia Derun completed his education and established his workshop, reviving cloisonné during the Xianfeng period. Initially, the workshop crafted mandarin insignias or buttons and gold-plated objects. Later, it repaired cloisonné items and eventually started producing its own cloisonné wares.

Decheng was also the first cloisonné workshop in Beijing whose participation in a World Exhibition is documented, specifically at the 1878 Paris World Exposition. See Zhou, Chunbing, 2022. Bureau of Enamel: Research and Collection of Famous Cloisonné Workshops in Modern China (珐琅局: 中国近代景 泰蓝名 作坊研究與收藏). Shanghai Shi: Shanghai Wen Hua Chu Ban She, 2022, pp. 57–62. Therefore, it explains the two labels on the back of these panels, written in Chinese and French, gives the address of the Decheng Manufactory and warns against imitations: ‘The only true manufactory, Teuo-Tcheng, is located in Beijing outside the Tsien-men gate near the middle of the Yan-mei-tchou-sie-kiai road (north side).’ This suggests considerable concern about quality and forgeries and was meant to authenticate the object’s origin.

A comparable pair of cloisonné enamel decorative tondo, dated to the Qing dynasty, 19th century, slightly larger (45.3cm diameter), also in mirror images, note the similarity of the quality and decorations, are in the National Museum in Warsaw, inventory numbers: SKAZsz 701/1 MNW and SKAZsz 701/2 MNW.

德成或德成琺瑯局，及其工廠全興成，創立於1860年，或正值第二次鴉片戰爭結束之際，並於1935年間停業。其創始人及所有者賈德潤（1840–1900），字玉華，來自 山東省。賈德潤出身農家，完成學業後創立作坊，並於咸豐年間復興掐絲琺瑯工藝。初期，其作坊製作官階補服上的補子、鈕扣及鎏金器物，後來開始修復琺瑯器，最 終發展為製作精良掐絲琺瑯器物之高級作坊。

德成亦是北京首間有記載參加世界博覽會的掐絲琺瑯作坊，曾於1878年巴黎世界博覽會展出。（參周春冰著：2022，《琺瑯局：中國近代景泰藍名作坊研究與收藏》， 上海：上海文化出版社，2022年，頁57–62）因此，這也說明了此拍品圓屏背貼長方籤爲何書以中文和法文提供了德成琺瑯局的地址，並警告仿冒品的存在。這顯示出 當時德成對其製作的器物品質之要求，亦意在證明該器物的來源屬實。

參一對清十九世紀銅胎掐絲琺瑯圓屏近例，尺寸稍大（直徑45.3cm），亦施以鏡像花鳥紋，紋飾及構圖類似，藏於華沙國家博物館，館藏號「SKAZsz 701/1 MNW」及 「SKAZsz 701/2 MNW」，可資比較。

Note: The present vase belongs to a group of imperial cloisonné enamel incense instruments that each bears an additional character, and in this instance shi, ‘poem’, under the reign mark. This extra character is also seen on some other imperial cloisonné and glass wares and believed by some scholars to be a serial number from the Chinese classic Qianziwen, ‘The One Thousand Word Essay’, with a strong connection to the Imperial Workshops.

largest approx. 38.5x 41.7cm with frame; approx. 28cm x 31.2cm without frame

Note: Before 1840 trade between China and Europe was the monopoly of a dozen or so merchants in Canton (Guangzhou) in southern China, known as ‘hong merchants’. Some of them lived in big mansions with magnificent gardens, in which they entertained their foreign customers. So much was written or spoken about these gardens that eventually every European or American visiting Canton would make an effort to see them.

Paintings such as this were produced for those who did not have the opportunity to make a personal visit.

Export paintings depicting garden scenes similar to the ones offered in this lot are in the Victoria and Albert Museum, one in pith paper, accession no. 9127:5; the rest watercolour on paper, accession nos. D.60-1903, D.61-1903, D.52-1903, and D.47-1903.

1840年以前，中國與歐洲之間的貿易由廣東一帶的十餘名商人壟斷，這些商人被稱為「行商」。其中一些行商居住 在宏偉的府邸內，府邸內有壯麗的園林，他們於此款待外國客商。這些園林聞名遐邇，被大量記述或談論，以至於 凡是到訪廣州的歐洲及美國人，無不竭力尋訪一睹其風采。正因如此，當時便有畫師創作此類繪畫，以供無法親 自造訪者欣賞。

Provenance: Private collection, London; acquired from Lyon & Turnbull, 15 June 2015, lot 537; Collection of Susan and Michael Gassaway, Syllavethy Gallery, Aberdeenshire.

私人收藏，倫敦；2015年6月15日購自本拍行，拍品537； 前蘇格蘭亞伯丁鎮Syllavethy畫廊廊主蘇珊及邁克爾·加薩維（Susan and Michael Gassaway）賢伉儷收藏。

Note: Susan and Michael Gassaway first met Chen Yanning on a trip to China in 1984, when he was Head of the Guangdong Institute of Fine Art. To reciprocate his hospitality, Susan and Michael invited Yanning to visit the UK to view some of the Old Masters of Western Art that he had only seen in books back in China.

Two years later, Yanning arrived in Aberdeen and together with Susan and Michael, he visited the museums in Scotland and London. Yanning made the museum attendants nervous as he wanted to get up close to study the thickness of paint on his favourite masterpieces. He, Susan and Michael communicated by using sign language and drawing sketches and quickly established a great friendship.

Yanning was invited to visit the US in the Eighties. When he decided to remain there, Susan and Michael offered to support him by finding portrait commissions for him in the UK. With hard work they amassed a fine collection of portrait commissions from a very wide variety of people, from those who scraped together the money because they so admired Yanning’s talent, to dignitaries including the Lord Mayor of London, Richard Branson, all the Body Shop family and the Royal Family including the late Queen, Duke of Edinburgh and Princess Anne.

Once, while organising a sitting for the Duke of Edinburgh in Buckingham Palace, a regimental flag was needed. With the help of some palace attendants, a broomstick was found and they managed to prop it up somehow, hidden by the flag. They were checking the lighting with Susan sitting in the chair to be used by the Duke, when the whole contraption landed on her head! They fixed it safely before the Duke arrived and there was no repeat of the comedy moment!

Susan made all the arrangements for portrait sittings, from booking flights, to hotels and sittings, often several in different parts of the UK during one trip. She accompanied Yanning as the driver and Jill-of-all fixer. During the sessions, Susan would chat to the sitters, placing herself in their direct line of vision so that they moved as little as possible and Yanning could concentrate on his work. This is a very exceptional friendship going far beyond a mere business association.

蘇珊及邁克爾·加薩維夫婦在1984年的一次中國之旅中第一次見到陳衍寧。當時陳衍寧是廣東美術學院院長。為了回報其盛情款待，加薩維夫婦邀請陳衍寧到英國， 觀賞一些其在中國僅於書本上翻錄過的西方古典油畫。

兩年後，陳衍寧終於抵達蘇格蘭亞伯丁，加薩維夫婦帶他參觀了蘇格蘭和倫敦的博物館及藝廊。陳衍寧在欣賞西方大師畫作時，爲了細究作品油彩的厚度而過於靠 近作品的舉動，令博物館工作人員感到緊張。陳衍寧及加薩維夫婦透過手語及素描進行溝通交流，很快就建立了深厚的友誼。

八十年代，陳衍寧受邀訪美。加薩維夫婦在英國幫他尋找肖像畫委託籌資。經過艱苦努力，加薩維夫婦籌集了一系列精美的肖像畫委託作品，其中包括當時倫敦市長 理查德·布蘭森在內的政要，以及英國Body Shop家族企業成員和王室成員，其中含已故英女王、愛丁堡公爵和安妮公主。

有一次，在白金漢宮為愛丁堡公爵畫肖像時需要一面軍團旗，在宮廷侍從的協助下，他們發現了一根掃帚棍，並設法將其支撐起來，隱藏在旗幟下。當陳衍寧跟蘇珊 為了確定光線，而坐在之後公爵要落坐的椅子上時，整個裝置落在了她的頭上！他們在公爵抵達前修復了這裝置，喜劇幸好沒有重演！ 蘇珊負責陳衍寧肖像畫的所有行政安排，從預訂航班到酒店，通常在一次旅行中會在英國不同地方進行多次繪畫。在繪畫過程中，蘇珊會與畫像者聊天，將自己置於 他們視線的直線上，以便他們盡少移動，而陳衍寧則可以專注於其繪畫工作。這非比尋常的友誼，遠遠超越了單純的商業聯繫。 £40,000-60,000

Provenance: Private English collection, England

英格蘭私人收藏

Note: Ancient Chinese believed that jade could preserve the body from decaying. Ge Hong (葛洪), a famous physician and Taoist from the Jin dynasty (265–420), stated in his book Baopuzi ( 《抱朴子》 ): “If gold and jade are placed in the nine orifices, then the dead will be immortal (金玉在九竅，則死人為不朽).” The so-called “nine orifices” refer to the eyes, mouth, ears, two nostrils, genitalia, and anus. Correspondingly, jade burial suits often included components like eye covers, nasal plugs, earplugs, mouthpieces, small boxes covering the genitalia, and jade anal plugs.

A closely comparable set of jade covers and plugs, dated to the Han dynasty, is in the collection of the Palace Museum, Beijing, museum nos: Xin 新54979, 116107, 116108, 200607, 200608, 200610 and Gu 故85043 and 9380.

Note: Zisu porcelain is a type of porcelain popular during the Tang Dynasty, with black glaze on the outside and white glaze on the inside. Zisu firstly refers to black and white, and secondly refers to the collective name of monks and laymen. Because during the Sui and Tang dynasties, monks mostly wore zi 緇 (black) monk robes, while laymen in ancient India mostly wore su 素 (white/plain) clothes. According to the currently known archaeological data of the Tang Dynasty, the production and circulation area of Tang Dynasty Zisu porcelain was very narrow, only found in Chang’an and Luoyang, and the number of such porcelains discovered is still rare.

RARE AND LARGE CHINESE LONGQUAN CELADON-GLAZED ‘LOQUAT’ BARBED-RIM CHARGER MING DYNASTY, 14TH-15TH CENTURY

明 珍罕龍泉官窯青釉刻枇杷果紋花口大盤

a loquat pipa tree bearing clusters of fruit and broad, slender leaves under twelve barbed and lobed petal brackets, with vertically arranged flowering branches below the lipped everted rim, the reverse with upright floral sprays, covered overall in an even celadon glaze of seagreen tone, an unglazed ring on the base with burnt orange in the firing 47cm diameter

Provenance: Property of a Gentleman; formerly in the property of a European family, acquired circa 1900 and thence by descent.

士紳珍藏；前歐洲家族舊藏，二十世紀初入藏，後家族遞藏。

Note: This large Longquan charger is an exceptionally fine example of early Ming celadon, was probably made at the kilns at Chuzhou, Zhejiang province, which produced ceramics for the imperial court in the early Ming dynasty.

The form and decoration of this longquan dish closely mirrors the imperial blue and white porcelains from Jingdezhen made in the Hongwu (r. 1368-1398) to early Xuande (r. 1425-1435) periods. In the mid-14th century, during the period when the Mongols ruled China as the Yuan dynasty, the kilns producing Longquan celadons and those producing porcelain at Jingdezhen adapted some of their finest ceramics to accommodate the tastes of patrons from the west of China’s borders - either those currently resident in China or those who received Chinese ceramics as

gifts or as part of the export trade. One of the shapes that appeared at both kiln sites was the large dish with bracket-lobed rim.

Recent excavations of the longquan kiln site unearthed shards of large dishes, vases, and bowls very similar to their Jingdezhen counterparts. The precision of potting, even-tone glaze color, and execution of the carved designs are of the finest quality – any pieces not up to the standard were smashed and buried as kiln waste, a practice well-established at the Jingdezhen kilns for the imperial porcelains.

The Chinese name pipa for loquat fruit was taken from the tear-drop shape of the pipa lute. Golden in color when ripe, the fruit also symbolizes wealth and a harmonious family life. The loquat tree blooms in the winter, bearing fruit through the spring, and the plump, golden fruit ripens in early summer – in Chinese culture the loquat tree symbolizes prosperity in four seasons.

Note: This bowl is a fine example of the Yaozhou ware typical of the Northern Song dynasty (960-1127). Carving was an important method of surface decoration in Yaozhou wares. This bowl began with a smooth body, partially dried (or ‘leather hard’). Using an angled tool, the floral pattern was carved out of the surface in sloping grooves. The glaze was then applied, pooling in the crevices and laying thinly on raised areas. Through firing, the pooled areas grew darker in colour and the thinly glazed areas more transparent, thus creating an illusion of light and shadows in the surface design. See a closely comparable Yaozhou bowl in lotus design, in the Victoria & Albert Museum, museum no. C.114-1929.

CHINESE CELADON-GLAZED

ARCHAISTIC HU-FORM VASE

the bulbous body raised on stepped flaring foot, delicately carved with stylised taotie masks on both sides reserved on a pearl ground, separated by vertical bands emerging from butterfly-form loop handles, covered in translucent pale celadon glaze 25.5cm high

Provenance: From the Estate of the Late Lord Ogilvy (1926-2023), 13th Earl of Airlie. The base of the vase with a circular label ‘John Sparks Ltd, 12 Mount Street, W’.

David Ogilvy, Godson to King George V, Lord Chamberlain to Queen Elizabeth II, began his banking career with Schroder & Co. in 1953. Ascending to Chairman of Schroders Plc in 1977, he resigned to take up the position of Lord Chamberlain in the Household of Queen Elizabeth II. As he was effectively in charge of every department within the Royal Household, during his tenure, he was able to adapt to the role and implement valuable reforms, which needless to say, improved public relations. During his time within the Royal Household, he weathered the annus horribilis and was part of the committee for the funeral plans of Diana, Princess of Wales. He retired from the Royal Household in 1997. He was appointed GCVO (a Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order) in 1984 and KT (a Knight of the Order of the Thistle, Scotland’s most ancient order of chivalry), in 1985.

There are two family seats within the Airlie Angus estate: Airlie Castle dates from the 15th Century, and Cortachy Castle dates from the 16th century.

Illustrated here is the vase in red circle in the Airlie Angus Estate.

已故奧格爾維勳爵（Lord Ogilvy, 1926–2023），第十三代艾爾利伯爵 （Earl of Airlie）遺產。瓶底貼倫敦骨董商John Sparks圓籤。

大衛・奧格爾維勳爵乃前英國國王喬治五世之教子、伊麗莎白二世女王的宮務大臣。 其於1953年在施羅德公司（Schroder & Co.）開啟銀行業生涯。1977年晉升為施羅 德集團（Schroders Plc）董事長，後辭去職務，出任英國皇室的宮務大臣。在任期間， 他掌管皇室內部絕大部分部門，靈活適應職責，推行多項有價值的改革，這些舉措 大幅提升了皇室與公眾之間的關係。於其宮中任職期間，他參與戴安娜王妃葬禮籌 備委員會之事務。1997年自皇室退休。1984年，他獲頒皇家維多利亞勳章大十字騎士 （GCVO），1985年則獲封為薊花勳章騎士（KT），此為蘇格蘭最古老之騎士勳章。

位於蘇格蘭安格斯的艾爾利莊園有兩家族府邸：其一爲艾爾利城堡（Airlie Castle）， 建於十五世紀，其二爲科塔奇城堡（Cortachy Castle），始建於十六世紀。

圖示紅圈爲此瓶於艾爾利莊園用爲燈座。

Note: The double-headed eagle is also known as the Habsburg eagle, it is the emblem of the Spanish Catholic Order of St. Augustine. It symbolises the union of the imperial dignity of the Holy Roman Empire (the Habsburg empire) with the Spanish Monarchy. The Spanish Augustinians were established in Manila in the 15th century, and soon after in Macao, Mexico and India, during which time they made their first of several expeditions to China. Numerous Chinese porcelains made their way from the Spanish outpost in Manila to Acapulco during the great eras of the ‘Manila galleon trade’, defined by J. Mudge as 1573-1620, and again in the late 17th century (Chinese Export Porcelain in North America, New York, 1986, p. 71). See a blue and white jar with the emblem of the Order of Saint Augustine, dated to ca. 1575–1600, is in the Metropolitan Museum, object no: 2016.166.1

RARE CHINESE BLUE AND WHITE KO-SOMETSUKE ‘HAWK ON STAND’ SAUCER MING DYNASTY, TIANQI PERIOD

明天啓 青花雄鷹立架圖碟

painted in the central medallion with a hawk perched on a stand decorated with brocade within double circles further with a floral band on the cavetto 13.2cm diameter

Note: Ko Sometsuke (古染付け), also known as ‘Tianqi porcelain’, refers to Chinese underglaze blue porcelain made in the unofficial kilns of Jingdezhen for a predominantly Japanese market in the 17th century. In China, imagery of birds of prey traces back to the Han dynasty (206 BCE–220 CE). Notable paintings by court artists of the Northern Song dynasty (960–1127) are mentioned in the Xuanhe Huapu, a treatise on painting of the Xuanhe era, 1119–25. In Chinese, ying is a homophone with the first character of “hero”, yingxiong. An eagle on rock is a rebus for yingxiong duli, meaning the independent spirit of a hero. A white falcon was depicted by Giuseppe Castiglione (1688-1768) as the last work of his prolific career in 1765. This painting is in the collection of the National Palace Museum, Taipei.

The eighth-century Chronicles of Japan (Nihon shoki) states that the practice of hawking was introduced in the fourth century, after which it became an important seasonal activity at court. Since the Muromachi period (1392-1573), hawking was taken over largely by the warrior elite, who saw the bird of prey as a symbol of their own bravery and might. So potent was this symbol that the shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542–1616) banned trade in hawks in 1604 to emphasize his own hegemony. Imagery of hawks in their wild habitat, in cages or tethered to stands is prevalent on hanging scrolls, screens and sliding doors commissioned by the samurai elite. Examples of Japanese okimono model of a hawk in iron or silver standing on wooden stand, was sold respectively at: Christie’s Hong Kong, 27 Nov 2018, lot 3825; Christie’s New York, 21 Sep 2021, lot 11; and Bonhams London, 15 May 2014, lot 557.

Provenance: Private collection, London; formerly in a private Japanese collection 倫敦私人收藏；前日本私人收藏

Note: Possibly made as a charcoal container as peripheral to the Japanese tea culture. Normally in octagonal or hexagonal forms, square and circular hot charcoal containers were also produced but seem rather rare. This vessel was designed and produced for a specific function, one clearly described in an entry on a hexagonal example by Julia Curtis in her ground-breaking exhibition catalogue on kosometsuke: “Once filled with ash, this hexagonal charcoal container would have held a piece of burning charcoal with which to light a pipe. In Japan, tobacco became fashionable with tea devotees in the early seventeenth century. The host would place a tobacco tray (tobako-bon), holding pipes, a container for loose tobacco, and a charcoal container inside the waiting room for use before the tea ceremony.” See Julia Curtis, Trade Taste & Transformation: Jingdezhen Porcelain for Japan: 1620-1645, New York, 2006, p. 87.

RARE CHINESE BLUE AND WHITE KO-SOMETSUKE ‘FROG AND BUTTERFLY’ DISH

MING DYNASTY, TIANQI PERIOD

painted with a frog on a grassy ground looking upward towards a butterfly in flight 15cm diameter

Provenance: Private collection, London; acquired from J.A.N Fine Art, London 倫敦私人收藏；購自倫敦骨董商J.A.N Fine Art

Note: Ko-Sometsuke is a term used to describe Chinese blue and white porcelain made for Japan. This late Ming porcelain was made from the Wanli period (1573-1620) through to the Tianqi period (1621 - 1627), ending in the Chongzhen period (1628-1644), with the main period of production being the 1620s and 1630s. This porcelain made in China for the Japanese reflected a rise in interest in the Japanese tea ceremony, but it also coincided with the beginning of porcelain production in Japan (from c.1610/20). The porcelain objects produced in China were made especially for the Japanese market, the shapes and designs were tailored to Japanese taste, and the production process allowed for Japanese aesthetics to be included in the finished object.

A Ming dynasty blue and white dish of similar frog and butterfly dish, dated to Jiajing to early Wanli c.1560-1585, was probably the prototype of Ko-Sometsuke, was in the Robert McPherson Antiques, stock number: 27076. For a set of five dishes of this design, see Exhibition of Ming Blue and White: Jiajing – Chongzhen, Including Dated Examples, S. Marchant & Son, London 2004.

JAPANESE CARVED LACQUERED

WOODEN FIGURE OF PENSIVE BODHISATTVA

EDO PERIOD

江戶 漆木雕彌勒半跏思惟像

shown with Maitreya seated with his right leg crossed over his left, and fingers of his right hand gently touching his cheek, known as the pensive pose, with traces of red lacquer

25cm high

Provenance: Private English collection, London, acquired from New York in 2013; formerly from the Estate of Denys Sutton (1917-1991)

Note: The Pensive Bodhisattva became popular in Japan and Korea in the sixth and seventh centuries, influenced particularly by prototypes in Chinese Buddhist art of the midsixth century. In Japan and Korea, bodhisattvas in the ‘pensive pose’ are usually identified as Maitreya (Japanese: Miroku Bosatsu; Korean: Mireuk).

Compare to a large carved and lacquered red pine wood figure of Bodhisattva in pensive pose, of which its origin is still debated between Japan and Korea, dated to the 7th century, is preserved and displayed in Kōryūji Temple in Kyoto, Japan, object no. EXH29: Japan NT Kōryūji.

LARGE JAPANESE BRONZE SCULPTURE GROUP OF FUGEN BOSATSU

MEIJI PERIOD

明治 銅鑄普賢菩薩騎象座像

the bodhisattva seated in royal ease pose with his left leg folded, his right hand raised before the chest holding a nyoi sceptre and right raised just above his thigh with palm faving upward, wears a loose dhoti with bellowing scarf wraps around the hands flowing the legs, the high chignon surrounded by a crown above a serene facial expression, on the back of a caparisoned and bejewelled elephant standing on all fours 50cm high; 14.6kg

Provenance: Private collection, London; formerly in the George Farrow collection

Note: Fugen Bosatsu, also known as Fugen Bodhisattva (skt: Samantabhadra), is the Bodhisattva of Universal Goodness, Virtue, and Worthiness. Symbolising meditation and praxis (diligent practice of Buddhist tenets), Fugen is often accompanied by Monju Bosatsu (skt: Mañjuśrī), who conversely symbolises wisdom and the enlightened mind, flanking the Gautama Buddha, forming the Shakyamuni Triad, or the Avatamsaka Trinity (Shaka Sanzon).

The magnificent example presented here is cast in generous proportions in three parts: the figure, the nyoi sceptre, and the elephant. The Bosatsu is distinguishable by his designated Elephant King vahana, which he sits on in latitasana

A comparable example of Fugen Bosatsu atop elephant can be seen in the Sanjūsangen-dō, a Buddhist temple of the Tendai sect in Kyoto, Japan (Publication: Buddhist Deities of Sanjusangen-do: Rengeo-in Sanjusangen-do Temple, 2000). This 13th-century example was carved in the Heian-Kamakura Period, deemed to be the prototype of Fugen Bosatsu in Japanese Buddhism. Compare to a large bronze sculpture group of Fugen Bosatsu, late Edo to Meiji Period, sold in this saleroom, 14 May 2021, lot 306.

普賢菩薩（梵語：Samantabhadra），是象徵「普遍賢善」、「德性」與「功德」的菩薩。祂象徵禪定與實踐——即對佛教教義之勤修不輟的實踐。普賢菩薩常與文殊菩薩（ 梵語：Mañjuśrī）一同出現，後者則象徵智慧與覺悟之心。二者常分列釋迦牟尼佛左右，合成「釋迦三尊」或稱「華嚴三聖」。

此尊莊嚴壯麗之銅鑄普賢菩薩騎象座像，分三部件鑄成：主尊菩薩身、如意、及其坐騎白象。菩薩所乘之白象，即為其特有之「象王」乘騎（vahana），菩薩呈「遊觀坐」 （lalitāsana）姿勢端坐其上。

京都天台宗佛寺三十三間堂（蓮華王院）亦藏有一尊類似風格之騎象普賢菩薩像，見於《三十三間堂佛像：蓮華王院三十三間堂》一書（2000年出版）。該像為十三世紀 作品，雕造於平安至鎌倉時期，被視為日本佛教中普賢菩薩造像之原型。另可參本拍行於2021年5月14日售出的一尊江戶晚期至明治時期的大型銅鑄普賢菩薩騎象 像，拍品306，可資比較。

Provenance: Private English collection, Somerset

Note: Tokuda Tasokichi III was born in Ishikawa Prefecture as the eldest son of Tokuda Yasokichi II. After withdrawing from the Kanazawa Arts and Crafts College, he helped his father pursue the traditional family ceramic business. He learned the traditional methods of kutani glaze preparation and decoration from his grandfather, Tokuda Yasokichi I. At first, Tokuda confined himself to traditional style pieces with a modern flavour. However, after 1973, he was prompted by his peers to develop a personal style. He invented a technique that enabled him to control the suffusion of kutani colour glazes, creating a starburst effect that is, according to the artist, “somewhat in the manner of modern colour-field painters such as Mark Rothko.” Tokuda was designated a National Living Treasure in 1997 for porcelain with coloured glazes.

Prospective Buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a Lot. Prospective Buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or Estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and only accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the Auctioneer or our employees or agents accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and no warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of Lots, express, implied or statutory, are given. Please note that photographs/images provided may not be fully representative of the condition of the Lot and should not be relied upon as indicative of the overall condition of the Lot. All dimensions and weights are approximate only.

2. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR DESCRIPTION OF LOTS

We do not provide any guarantee in relation to the nature of a Lot apart from our authenticity warranty contained in paragraph E.2 and to the extent provided below.

(a) Condition Reports: Condition Reports are provided on our Website or upon request. The absence of a report does not imply that a Lot is without imperfections. Large numbers of such requests are received shortly before each sale and department specialists and administration will endeavour to respond to all requests although we offer no guarantee. Any statement in relation to the Lot is merely an expression of opinion of the Seller or us and should not be relied upon as an inducement to bid on the Lot. Lots are available for inspection prior to the sale and You are strongly advised to examine any Lot in which You are interested prior to the sale. Our Condition Reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers. Our Condition Report does not form any contract between us and the Buyer. The Condition Reports do not affect the Buyer’s obligations in any way.

(b) Estimates: Estimates are placed on each Lot to help Buyers gauge the sums involved for the purchase of a particular Lot. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT. Estimates are a matter of opinion and prepared in advance. Estimates may be subject to change and are for guidance only and should not be relied upon.

(c) Catalogue Alterations: Lot descriptions and Estimates are prepared in advance of the sale and may be subject to change. Any alterations will be announced on the Catalogue alteration sheet, made available prior to the sale. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to make themselves aware to any alterations which may have occurred.

3. WITHDRAWAL

Lyon & Turnbull may, at its discretion, withdraw any Lot at any time prior to or during the sale of the Lot. Lyon & Turnbull has no liability to You for any decision to withdraw.

4. JEWELLERY, CLOCKS & OTHER ITEMS

(a) Jewellery:

(i) Coloured gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds) may have been treated to enhance their look, through methods such as heating and oiling. These methods are accepted practice but may make the gemstone less strong and/or require special care in future.

(ii) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemmological report for any Lot which does not have a report

if the request is made to us at least three weeks before the date of the sale and You pay the fee for the report in advance of receiving said report.

(iii) We do not obtain a gemmological report for every gemstone sold in our sales. Where we do get gemmological reports from internationally accepted gemmological laboratories, such reports may be described in the Sale Particulars. Reports will describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but will confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree whether a particular gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment or whether treatment is permanent. The gemmological laboratories will only report on the improvements or treatments known to the laboratories at the date of the report.

(iv) For jewellery sales, all Estimates are based on the information in any gemmological report or, if no gemmological report is available, You should assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced.

(b) Clocks & Watches: All Lots are sold “as seen”, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply the Lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches will have been repaired during their normal lifetime and may now incorporate additional/ newer parts. Furthermore, we make no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, Buyers should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. Buyers should also be aware that we cannot guarantee a watch will remain waterproof if the back is removed. Buyers should be aware that the importing watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller and Corum into the United States is highly restricted. These watches cannot be shipped to the USA and only imported personally. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights or keys.

(c) Alcohol: may only be sold to persons aged of 18 years and over. By registering to bid, You affirm that You are at least that age. All collections must be signed for by a person over the age of 18. We Reserve the right to ask for ID from the person collecting. Buyers of alcohol must make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullages, conditions of corks and wine. We can provide no guarantees as to how the alcohol may have been stored. There is always a risk of cork failure and allowance by the Buyer must be made. Alcohol is sold “as is” and quality of the alcohol is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties are given.

(d) Books-Collation: If on collation any named item in the sale Catalogue proves defective, in text or illustration the Buyer may reject the Lot provided he returns it within 21 days of the sale stating the defect in writing. This, however, shall not apply in the case of unnamed items, periodicals, autographed letters, music M.M.S., maps, drawings nor in respect of damage to bindings, stains, foxing, marginal worm holes or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text nor in respect of Defects mentioned in the Catalogue, or at the time of sale, nor in respect of Lots sold for less than £300.

(e) Electrical Goods: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first. Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given.

(f) Upholstered items: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations (items manufactured prior to 1950 are exempt from any regulations). Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. We provide no guarantee as to the originality of any wood/material contained within the item.

Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we Reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid so made. Bids must be expressed in the currency of the saleroom. The Auctioneer will take reasonable steps to carry out written bids at the lowest possible price, taking into account the Reserve.

C. DURING THE SALE

The Reserve is generally set at a percentage of the low Estimate and will not exceed the low Estimate for the Lot.

3. AUCTIONEER’S DISCRETION

D. THE BUYER’S PREMIUM, TAXES AND ARTIST’S RESALE ROYALTY

1. THE PURCHASE PRICE

For each Lot purchased a Buyer’s Premium of 26% of the Hammer Price of each Lot up to and including £20,000, plus 25% from £20,001 to £500,000, plus 20% from £500,001 thereafter. VAT at the appropriate rate is charged on the Buyer’s Premium. No VAT is payable on the Hammer Price or premium for printed books or unframed maps bought at auction.

Live online bidding may be subject to an additional premium (level dependent on the live bidding service provider chosen). This additional premium is subject to VAT at the appropriate rate as above.

2. VALUE ADDED TAX

Value Added Tax is charged at the appropriate rate prevailing by law at the date of sale and is payable by Buyers of relevant Lots.

(a) Lots affixed with (†): Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price is imposed by law on all items affixed with a dagger (†). This imposition of VAT maybe because the Seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating under a Margin Scheme.

(b) Lots affixed with (*): A reduced rate of Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price of 5% is payable. This indicates that a Lot has been imported from outwit the European Union. This

reduced rate is applicable to Antique items.

(c) Lots affixed with [Ω]: Standard rate of Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price and premium is payable. This applies to items that have been imported from outwit the European Union and do not fall within the reduced rate category outlined above.

3. ARTIST’S RESALE ROYALTY (DROIT DE SUITE)

This symbol § indicates works which may be subject to the Droit de Suite or Artist’s Resale Right, which took effect in the United Kingdom on 14th February 2006. We are required to collect a royalty payment for all qualifying works of art. Under new legislation which came into effect on 1st January 2012 this applies to living artists and artists who have died in the last 70 years. This royalty will be charged to the Buyer on the Hammer Price and in addition to the Buyer’s Premium. It will not apply to works where the Hammer Price is less than £1,000. The charge for works of art sold at and above £1,000 and below £50,000 is 4%. For items selling above £50,000, charges are calculated on a sliding scale. All royalty charges are paid to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’) and no handling costs or additional fees are retained by the Auctioneer. Resale royalties are not subject to VAT. More information on Droit de Suite is available at www.dacs.org.uk.

(b) the only method of establishing that the Authorship was not as described in the Bold or Capitalised heading at the date of the sale would have been by means or processes not then generally available or accepted; unreasonably expensive or impractical to use; or likely (in our reasonable opinion) to have caused damage to the Lot or likely to have caused loss of value to the Lot; or

(c) There has been no material loss in value of the Lot from its value had it been in accordance with its description in the Bold or Capitalised type heading.

This Guarantee is provided for a period of one year from the date of the relevant auction, is solely for the benefit of the original purchaser of the Lot at the auction and may not be transferred to any third party.

(b) return the Lot to our registered office in the same condition as at the date of sale to the original purchaser of record and be able to transfer good title to the Lot, free from any third party claims arising after the date of such sale.

We have discretion to waive any of the above requirements.

The reports must be mutually acceptable to us and the original purchaser of the Lot. We shall not be bound by any reports produced by the original purchaser of the Lot, and Reserves the right to seek additional

expert advice at its own expense.
