Hey Folks,
Thought I would post todays finds, some of which I knew going in and a few I wasn't to sure. Then there are the few mysterious pieces, a cobalt-ground gilt decorated Japanese bowl, with a mark I have never seen, and the yellow ground dish with a partial mark. Also there is a little dish with a cannon, I haven't seen another. These are throwing me off, though the quality looks quite good.... Also can anyone tell me what the Jiangxi Jardiniere says on it, I suspect theres a date...
Anyways I hope you all enjoy, I absolutely love the cobalt ground bowl.
Cheers,
Jeremy
The cobalt ground bowl....
It looks almost jet black but is just a really really dark cobalt.
Nice things! The one with the missing reign marks is interesting and I hope someone has seen that and knows the back story. I particularly like the chicken and crane dish, the little hexagonal one and the famille rose plate. Very nice!
John,
Thanks you, yeah the missing reign mark one intrigues me, it really looks okay for early 20th century work, but I have never seen that. I too love the crane and chicken dish, I think the mark is Jiangxi porcelain company form the 1940s...
I won these last week and was soo anxious to go pick them up... now Im thrilled.
Cheers,
Jeremy
The cricket cage would work well as a soap dish, if it did not stain so much you could use it to hold your tea bag, but it would stain too much and loose tea is better.
You have 2 offering dishes. They usually have a footed rim for a base. Very impressive collection!
The front one and the right front look Qianlong to me. The decoration on the cobalt ground bowl looks Japanese--is that a chrysanthemum in the middle? The little four-footed dish I am a little suspicious of. The rooster is beautiful, but crane looks like one I have seen on many PROC vases.
I am guessing Guangxu on the yellow bowl; the designs look hand-drawn and neatly done, but gilding is a bit thick? Is this consistent with what you think, Jeremy?
Charles
My favorite is the rooster and crane dish. Jiangxi porcelain company is always good quality, even the later ones. I buy them whenever I find one. Your dish looks earlier than the 1940s to me.
Birgit
That's a nice collection! The spur marks on the base of the rooster and crane dish are unusual, I haven't seen them like that before. Are there marks inside, I am thinking it may be from stacking?
Birgit,
I always love the quality of the Jiangxi pieces. I was going off the stamped mark in my dating, I thought they were only from the 1940s through early 50s. Though I suspect the side is dated so hope fully someone who can read it will know.
I would have picked that piece as my favorite find, but the cobalt ground bowl really stands out as the oddity. I haven't seen one like it before.
Jeremy
Thanks Julia,
I was wondering about the spur marks as well, and my conclusion was that because the feet were to the outside, perhaps they were worried the center would collapse, I see no indication inside that they were stacked, so I am just guessing.
Have you ever come across a bowl like the cobalt one? I know you have seen far more Japanese pieces than me, but I am having trouble finding a similar one.
Cheers,
Jeremy
Charles,
The two front ones are Qianlong export for sure, those were the reason I really bid on the lot, although to be fair I also wanted to see the gilt cobalt bowl, which I do think is Japanese, though it has a lot of Chinese design elements, though it does also have the chrysanthemum in the center so I feel it is pretty solidly Japanese.
The rooster and the crane dish are a seemingly common decoration on Jiangxi pieces, or at least I have seen a similar crane on others before. I think it is republic, but where in the period I am not sure.
The yellow one is stumping me, I honestly though Guangxu when I first picked it up, even with the thick gold on it the work seems pretty good. What has thrown me off is the lack of a complete reign mark, that is something I have never seen. It is definitely the mystery of the bunch for me, the foot looks good, the enameling looks good, and if it had a complete Guangxu mark, I would have never doubted it.
Jeremy

Calligraphy established itself as one of the major Chinese art forms during the Han dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE), and for two millennia after, all educated men were expected to be proficient at it.
