A MONUMENTAL BLUE AND WHITE 'LANDSCAPE' CHARGER, KANGXI PERIOD China, 1662-1722. Massively potted with shallow rounded sides rising from a short tapered foot to a broad everted rim. Superbly painted in rich tones of intense cobalt-blue with a vast mountainous lakeside landscape with towering trees, houses and pavilions, a pagoda, fishermen, and other figures, all enclosed by a double line border, the rim similarly painted within a continuous band enclosed by a further double line border. The recessed base left unglazed.

Provenance: US trade, by repute acquired from a New York private collection.
Condition: Superb condition with minor wear and firing irregularities, including some kiln grit and a small firing crack to the rim, remnants of old varnish around the foot. A charger of such large size in this pristine condition must be considered exceedingly rare.
