769 - Chinese export porcelain monteith, Kangxi ca. 1710. Decorated in iron-red and gilt with scenes from a romance depicting a gentleman calling on a lady. The scalloped flaring rim and foot decorated with floral motifs. Illustrated in Howard, "Choice of the Private Trader," pg. 188-9, no. 217. Provenance: Christie's, New York, "The Benjamin F. Edwards III Collection of Chinese Export Porcelain, Part III," 20 January 2004, Lot 164; The Distinguished Collection of Leo & Doris Hodroff. Reference: Lee, "British Silver Monteiths," pg. 23-4, 29-47. Howard & Ayers, "China for the West," pg. 116. This version in famille verte. 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. However, the heavy potting suggests that it was perhaps made from a simplified wooden model of silver examples of around 1700-10. Height: 9 in x width: 12 in x diameter: 10 1/2 in.
