LOT 565 A FINE AND VERY RARE 'FAMILLE JAUNE' BRUSHPOT, Bitong, China, Kangxi period, of cylindrical shape, enamelled around the exterior with two panels in green, yellow, pale aubergine and black, one depicting a court scene with scholars, the other with scenes of courtly women and three deities, all reserved on a black background, the underside with a recessed circle - The enamel on these unusual brushpot is remarkably well preserved and retains the slightly iridescent quality that heightens their decorative nature . In their effort to revive biscuit wares, the Qing craftsman opted for the sancai glaze combination of amber-yellow ,green and brown instead of the turquoiseand purple palette of the fahua tradition ,which had gained much popularity in the Ming dynasty .This allowed for a fresh aesthetic that was suited to contemporaneous taste. Famille-jaune wares of such high quality are unusual; compare a globular vase with handles, in the Benaki Museum ,Athens , illustrated in Leigh Ashton and R.L.Hobson ,Catalogue of the Chinese Pottery & Porcelain, Athens ,1939 ,pl .XXXIX ,no .595 - Property from an important European private collection, bought from Christie's London, 9.11.2010, Lot 322 - Good condition, hardwood stand
