Chinese Blue and White Export Ware Charger
Kangxi Period, late 17th century A.D.Estimate: £500 - 700 (+bp*)
Opening Bid: £240
Lotus charger with central dense chrysanthemum and tendril pattern, radiating panels with blossoming trees; the outer rim with three foliate branches and the base with a leaf within a concentric circle; two Chrysanthemum collection stickers to base. 1.55 kg, 38.5 cm wide
Private collection, UK.
Blue-and-white porcelains of the Kangxi period continued a centuries-old decorative tradition, but far from appearing a jaded ornamental medium, cobalt-blue in the hands of the Kangxi painter presents a radiant new face. Kangxi blue has often been described as having a sapphire hue, and in its finest examples-set off by an almost faultless white background-this pure, deep, luminous blue does have that precious stone's quality. -
