768 - A rare blue and white porcelain Chinese export monteith, Kangxi ca. 1715. The exterior delicately painted with panels depicting animals on a chrysanthemum vine ground. The interior with a still-life of precious objects. The rim painted with a cafe-au-lait glaze. Marked along the underside with a floral motif within a double ring. Illustrated in Howard, "Choice of the Private Trader," pg. 190, no. 218. Provenance: Cohen & Cohen, London; The Distinguished Collection of Leo & Doris Hodroff. Reference: Le Corbeiller, "China Trade Porcelain," pg. 36-7. An example can be found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, object no. 60.1. Lot Essay: Monteiths are a type of bowl used to chill drinking glasses, done by resting the stems of the glasses along the scalloped openings while the bowls cool in the water of the bowl. The term "Monteith" comes from an eccentric Scot, Lord Monteith, who was remarked for wearing a scalloped coat which the bowl's rim resembled. This bowl likely made in the style of English or European silver examples for the European market. Height: 6 in x diameter: 12 1/2 in.
