Size

Description
A Chinese Huanghuali Kang table
Ming dynasty
明代 黃花梨卷草紋炕幾
This huanghuali table is elegantly shaped, with S-shaped legs – a feature unique to furniture produced during the Ming dynasty. The delicate carvings continue on the sides in the form of meandering grass patterns. An incense table with curly grass pattern sold by China Guardian in 2019 has the same pattern and craftsmanship as this one.
Poly, Hong Kong, October 2013, Lot 1612; Sotheby’s, November 2012, Lot 2012.
此件炕幾爲黃花梨材質，四邊沿爲冰盤沿線腳，下有束腰，壼門式牙條，邊緣起線與腿交圈，牙子浮雕卷草紋，四腿三彎式，雲紋足。三彎腿，又稱外翻馬蹄腿，整個腳型成S形彎曲，由腿部從束腰處向外膨出，然後再向內收，收到下端，又向外兜轉，形成三道彎，以形取名爲“三彎腿”。三彎腿是明代傢俱的典型特徵。
中國嘉德2019年一件卷草紋香幾，與本件拍品花紋和工藝如出一轍，可資參閱。

A Chinese Blue And White Vase, 16th/17th Century:
Size
H: 18 5/8, Dia: 5 in. (H: 47.31, Dia: 12.70 cm.)
Description
A Chinese blue and white vase
Ming Dynasty Chongzhen period
明崇禎 青花花卉瓶
With two inscriptions and previous sticker to underside.
This blue and white vase is adorned with a variety of painted motifs, including rocks and bamboo to the neck, and seasonal flowers painted to the body. Typical of Chongzhen period porcelains, the blue and white color of this vase is clear and vibrant, while the white ceramic has a faint green tint. However, its shape differs from Chongzhen porcelains, as it has a slim body and a narrow neck. At the end of Ming Dynasty, while the imperial kilns no longer operated, the civilian kilns flourished. Many ceramics produced during that time are as fine as the Ming Jiajing and Wanli imperial artifacts, and this vase is a fine example of the civilian-produced artifacts of that time.$ Similar item at the Albert Museum, No. 1601 & LID-1876. See Christie’s, Paris, July 2022, Lot 023.
本件拍品撇口，束頸，直腹，平底，底部露胎。頸部繪以竹石，瓶身則繪四季花卉紋等。青花髮色青翠明麗，濃淡適宜，層次分明，胎骨厚重緊密，釉色白中泛青，具有明代崇禎時期的典型風格。造型上卻有別於常見的崇禎筒瓶，屬窄束頸一類，稱爲“小口筒瓶”。明末官窯停燒，民窯盛行，從現有許多明末清初時期的拍品來看，當時的民窯工藝水平不輸嘉萬製品，有些甚至超越了嘉萬官窯製品。文人階層對手工業發展的介入，更是增添了器物本身的清秀儒雅之意，就如同本瓶一般，成爲一件值得欣賞的陳設佳器。

A Pair Of Chinese Blue And White Bowls, Wanli Period, Ming Dynasty:
H: 1 1/2, Dia: 4 5/8 in. (H: 3.81, Dia: 11.75 cm.)
Description
A pair of Chinese blue and white bowls
Wanli period, Ming dynasty
明萬曆 青花梵文茶圓一對
Both with six-character Wanli marks to undersides; both with multiple previous stickers; sold with an associated box. (2).
This pair of bowls is well fired, possessing a classic form and unique decoration. The mouth rims are decorated with two blue and white circles, complementing the bodies, which are covered with blue and white Sanskrit inscriptions. Their glaze is rich like jade, and their blue is vibrant. On the center of the bowls is a large Sanskrit “Buddha”. On the bottoms is the blue and white ‘Made in Ming Dynasty Wanli Period” six-character seal mark within two circles. These traits are indications of Wanli period imperial kiln products. The Palace Museum and the National Palace Museum both have similar Sanskrit bowls in their collections, which can be used for reference.
