Chinese export blue and white porcelain coffee pot with cover, Qianlong ca. 1740-50. Of pear shape and decorated in an allover pattern of flowering vines. The spout formed as a shell with a wishbone handle. Provenance: Christie's, London, "Chinese Ceramics Chinese Export Ceramics And Works of Art," 18 June 2002, Lot 298; The Distinguished Collection of Leo & Doris Hodroff. Reference: Howard, "Choice of the Private Trader," pg. 158, no. 172. Here is illustrated a similarly modeled pot. Lot Essay: This form is after German silver examples of ca. 1700-20 which would have had a wooden handle. This form was copied at Meissen around 1740 as well as in China. This form is also found in the 1760's to 1780's, though the molding of the spout became more simplified, suggesting an earlier date for the present lot. Height: 9 1/2 in x width: 6 1/2 in x diameter: 5 in.
