729 - Pair of small Chinese export porcelain roosters, Guangxu ca. 1880. Each modeled standing atop pierced rockwork painted with large lotus blooms, their feathers picked out in black, green and iron-red, their breasts pink. With a fungus-like growth painted on the rockwork. Illustrated in Howard, "Choice of the Private Trader," p. 269, no. 324. Provenance: Philip Suval Inc., 5 December 1979; The Distinguished Collection of Leo & Doris Hodroff. Lot Essay: The presence of the fungus can be a sign of later copying. This, combined with the bold coloration, is common feature of late 19th century revivals of earlier 18th century forms. A number of older forms were revived and decorated at this time to a high standard of quality, but with less nuance than their earlier counterparts.
