Description
A SMALL YELLOW ENAMELLED OGEE-SHAPED AND FOLIATE-RIMMED BOWL Guangxu iron-red mark, Republic Rising from a short straight foot to a compressed globular body, surmounted by a wide neck flaring towards the lobed rim, the exterior covered with an egg-yolk yellow enamel contrasting with the white interior and base, the base inscribed with a six-character mark in iron red. 9.8cm (3 7/8in) diam. Footnotes: 民國 黃釉葵口折腰碗 礬紅《大清光緒年製》楷書款 Provenance: a Swiss private collection, and thence by descent Cups of this shape are known as zheyao bei (折腰杯) which literally means 'bow down cup', because of the vessel's unusual waist. The name comes from the famous verse 'to not sacrifice one's ideals in order to make a living' (不為五斗米折腰) written by the poet and politician Tao Yuanming 陶淵明 (365-427), symbolising the idealised noble virtues of traditional scholar-officials. This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * * VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.
