A SMALL QIANJIANGCAI PORCELAIN HIGH FOOTED CUP SIGNED BY WANG YOUTANG China, Qing dynasty, late 19th century h cm 3 x l 9.5 Resting on a tall foot, the lobed dish with four petals features a central landscape painted with the typical delicate colors of the qianjiang style on porcelain; at the top bears the signature of the artist Wang Youtang (汪友棠). Catalogue notes: Wang Youtang, a native of Bishan in Yi County, Anhui Province, was born during the Guangxu reign. He was one of the most famous Qianjiang masters of the late Qing period. Skilled in painting landscapes, figures, birds, and flowers, his landscape paintings follow the style of Mi Fu, depicting mist, woods, bamboo groves, and rocks. Wang was active from the 16th year (1890) to the 33rd year (1907) of the Guangxu reign. His works were often used as gifts among officials and scholars. The forms of dishes, plates, and basins from the late Qing period follow the tradition of their Ming and early/mid-Qing predecessors. The refined qianjiang plates and basins gradually evolved into works meant for display rather than daily use. Their typical forms include oval, chrysanthemum petal-shaped, plum blossom-shaped, lobed (like the present pedestal dish), and crabapple flower-shaped, with their rims either flared or everted and their bodies either deep or shallow.For reference, see the pedestal dish of identical shape but decorated with a crane among trees, signed by Jiang Xichen and dated 1881, in "Qianjiang Ware in the Late Qing Period," Xu Jinfan and Chen Bing, Shanghai Fine Arts Publishers, 2011, page 477, no. 346. 清 十九世纪末 "汪友棠 "浅降彩小碟

EMBLEM OF THE CHARCUTIER TRAITEUR "AU SANGLIER", RUE SAINT-ANTOINE, PARIS Carved wood, on platform with casters. 1904. Height. 102 cm; Width. 49 cm; Depth. 64 cm. Height without platform: 95 cm. Accident to base. As early as 1845, during the reign of Louis-Philippe, a certain Huot set up shop at number 182 rue Saint-Antoine in the fourth arrondissement of Paris. The building, dating from before 1802, was ideally located on the street's southern sidewalk, which was home to countless food shops attracting an uninterrupted daily flow of passers-by. Huot remained in business until 1862, under Napoleon III. He was followed, in the same specialty, by Désiré Lucet from 1862 to 1877, then A. Legoux from 1877 to 1886, then Edmond Descourtieux from 1886 to 1904. In 1905, Mr. Prêtre became the owner and, for the first time, operated under the name "Au Sanglier". His invoices and stamps are on this letterhead. The building had just been newly numbered "49", rue Saint-Antoine. He was succeeded by Leschemelle, from 1929 to 1933. A family dynasty followed: Marcel and Rose Geoffroy from 1933 to 1962, Pierre and Denise Geoffroy from 1962 to 1991, then Daniel Gouas and Rose-Marie Geoffroy from 1991 to 2013, Rose-Marie being Marcel's granddaughter. Marc and Martine Firmin succeeded them from 2013 to 2023. Today, the establishment is still a chacutier-traiteur, having, alas, changed its name. In 1905, Mr. Prêtre was responsible for the appearance of the company's emblem on the sidewalk, in the form of a carved wooden boar. It's more accurate to call it a mascot, as the animal occupied its position in front of the store from 1904 to 2023. Equipped with wheels, it appeared at the opening in the morning and disappeared at the closing at the end of the day. Standing guard over the stalls of sausages, hams and terrines, he was ridden by generations of local children. We've never been able to count the number of passers-by who brushed his skull and had their photo taken in his presence. Renowned photographers, including Robert Doisneau in 1966, took pictures of him from all angles. Many books celebrate him (Paris pittoresque, Le Bestiaire du Marais...). PROVENANCE. Au Sanglier" caterer, 49, rue Saint-Antoine, Paris, 4th arrondissement, since 1904. GEOFFROY-GOUAS family, Paris.
