Bowl; China, Qing Dynasty, Qianlong Period, 1736- 1795. Glazed porcelain. Measurements: 8,5 x 17,5 cm (diameter). Bowl made of glazed porcelain with deposit divided into bands of seven different colors. Each band has in its interior a design based on chrysanthemums and peonies that are repeated rhythmically along the body of the piece. The upper area, i.e. the lip, is ornamented with a red band with "luhja liu shui" decoration, diamonds that simulate the fallen leaves of the lotus on the surface of the water. The Qianlong emperor, belonging to the Qing dynasty, ruled China between 1736 and 1795, and is remembered to this day as one of the most cultured emperors and one of the most important in terms of art collecting. His long reign was a particularly interesting time in Chinese history. At the time, the country was the richest and most populous nation in the world. Qianlong was able to preserve and foster his own Manchu hunter and warrior traditions, and combine them with the adoption of Confucianism's principles of political and cultural leadership, thus achieving an effective and stable government. In fact, it was precisely his ability to adopt Chinese customs, while still honoring his Manchu tradition, that made him one of the most successful emperors of the Qing dynasty. Qianlong studied Chinese painting, and especially enjoyed the art of calligraphy, highly regarded in this culture, conceived in fact as the highest of the arts.

WATERMAN "Harley Davidson" STYLOGRAPHIC PLUMA. Body in silver and black. Limited edition. Silver nib. F tip. Click cap. Cartridge loading. No box. Unused. Measurements: 14 cm. length. Waterman is the world's second largest manufacturer of fountain pens. It is a company that produces and markets fountain pens, ballpoint pens, mechanical pencils and rollers. Founded in 1883 in New York by Lewis Edson Waterman (November 20, 1836 - May 1, 1901), it is one of the oldest pen manufacturing companies still in operation. Waterman's main contribution was the side slot filling system patented in 1884. Based on capillary action (capillarity), its application allows the ink to flow steadily into the nib, eliminating the annoying dripping when writing. The Regular pen was the first to incorporate this innovation. After the founder's death in 1901, his nephew Frank D. Waterman took over the company, establishing it abroad and increasing sales to 350,000 pens a year. In 1904, he launched the "clip-cap" pen, with a riveted safety clip that could be attached to a pocket. In 1907, the retractable Safety Pen was noted for its high reliability in resistance to dripping, and in 1913, the "lever and pouch" filling system was invented. In 1927, a French researcher invented a glass ink cartridge (patented in 1936) that was a major transformation for the future of the fountain pen. In 1953, Waterman abandoned the glass cartridge and ushered in the era of plastic ink cartridges, which helped popularize fountain pens. Since 1967, Waterman pens have been manufactured at the Saint-Herblain plant near Nantes in France, where nearly 5 million units are produced each year. Seventy percent of production is exported to 110 countries. No box. Unused.
