837 - Chinese export famille rose porcelain tureen and cover, early Qianlong ca. 1765. Of oval shape with a high domed ogee cover and collared band along the top with a crown-like finial. The handles of a feathered-headdress form. The decoration of a floral garden terrace with two cockerels fighting over a beetle. Illustrated in David S. Howard, "Choice of the Private Trader," pg. 116, no. 113. Provenance: Christie's, London, "Fine Chinese Export Porcelain," 12 March 1986, Lot 222; The Distinguished Collection of Leo & Doris Hodroff. Reference: Beurdeley, "Porcelain of the East India Companies," pg. 43. Howard & Ayers, "China for the West," pg. 552. Lot Essay: Tureens such as these were made for the continental market, frequently with coronet finials. In the case of this tureen, the finial was painted with leaf decoration, but could have just as easily been painted as a crown. The handles are a simplified version of the more ornate mask form with upright feather headdress. The style was after a silver original, which was copied by Meissen, and was popular in Scandinavia. Height: 12 in x width: 14 in x depth: 9 in.
