A FINE AND EXCEPTIONALLY RARE PAIR OF YELLOW-GROUND FAMILLE ROSE PIERCED RIM DISH, QIANLONG SIX-CHARACTER IRON-RED SEAL MARKS AND OF THE PERIOD (1736-1795)
A CHINESE FLAMBÉ-GLAZED LOBED VASE, LATE QING/REPUBLIC PERIOD, LATE 19TH-EARLY 20TH CENTURY
清 「大清乾隆年製」 六字礬紅篆書款及本朝 白地粉彩描金纏枝蓮紋鏤雕多 孔折沿大盤 39.5cm diameter Pierced rim dishes of this type bearing Qianlong reign marks are extremely rare. One very similar example; is in the collection of the National Palace Museum, Taipei, museum no: K1B012703N000000000PAD. For an almost identical pair sold in the market, see Poly Auction, Hong Kong, 6/4/2023, lot 3088. Another very similar pair with yellow ground, see Christie's Hong Kong, 30/5/2023, lot 3032. Dishes of this rare design were produced in larger quantities during the Jiaqing period, as there are a number of surviving examples bearing Jiaqing reign marks. This suggests the possibility that the current dish and the National Palace Museum example were made towards the end of the Qianlong reign, or even during the years when the Qianlong Emperor abdicated and styled himself as Emperor Emeritus. The purpose of the apertures on the rims is still unknown, though generally it has been accepted that this group of wares served as offering dishes in the court

A CHINESE CARVED CINNABAR LACQUER DISH, YUAN/ MING DYNASTY, 14TH/15TH CENTURY The dish is finely carved with scholars in the landscape. With an old Japanese wooden box. The box is inscribed and labelled. 元/明 剔紅“山水樓閣人物圖” 園盤 帶日本原裝供箱 《髹漆錄》有載：“剔紅，即雕紅漆也。髹層之厚薄，朱色之明暗，雕鏤之 精粗，亦甚有巧拙。”也就是說，剔紅工藝就是把朱漆胎骨上層層積累到一 個相當的厚度，再用刀雕刻出花紋。明代雕漆崇尚將花紋刻畫得豐腴飽滿， 費工費料，無法速成。剔紅漆色以顏色純正， 光澤明亮者為上。元代及明 初以花卉為題材的雕漆，一般都是花葉密佈，沒有錦地，而在花葉間的空隙 中可見素漆地。 此盤圓口，斜壁，潛底，圈足，器體本身尺寸適中，但依然顯露出經典大方 的氣質。除足底髹褐漆外，通體在素地上堆起肥厚豐腴朱漆，漆色紅艷，鮮 明浴滴，犀利的運刀在其上剔刻出紋樣。盤心處三種錦紋表現出天，地， 水，空中祥雲流動，仙鶴飛翔，水邊高山層巒，棧橋曲折，岸上松柏茂盛，
樓閣櫛比，在不大的範圍內勾勒出成冊分明的構圖光景，各處的細節亦是精 致入微，而穿梭於這個場景中的人物形象則是各具特色，令畫面頓時生動了 起來。盤外側同樣綴錦紋作飾，鐫賢士遊園主題，其精細堪輿盤心處的圖案 媲美。 此作品做工精細，重點分明，構圖清晰，層次感強，是為當時那個雕漆盛行 時代中剔紅技藝的最高峰。 13.5cm diameter For a cinnabar lacquer dish with a similar decoration style on the interior and pattern on the lipped rim, see Christie's 28/11/2012, lot 2085; also see the same house, 27/5/2008, lot 1934.

A CHINESE CLOISONNÉ ENAMEL 'LOTUS' CENSER, QIANLONG INCISED SIX-CHARACTER MARK AND OF THE PERIOD (1736-1795)
A CHINESE BRONZE VASE, MING/QING DYNASTY, 17TH CENTURY
The reign mark in a vertical line, above a single character, guo. Cloisonné in the archaistic forms were used profusely during the Qianlong period (1735-1796) as trios of incense burner, container, and related tool caddy, known as luping sanshi in Beijing. Besides the typical reign marks, they often carry an extra character from the Thousand Character Classic, an ancient indexing system the Chinese used as early as the Tang dynasty (618-907). It contains exactly 1000 and non-repeated characters, hence it was found to be versatile and efficient in indexing libraries and collections, including the Imperial Collection 清 「大清乾隆年製」、「果」楷書款及本朝 御製銅胎掐絲琺瑯纏枝勾蓮紋 雲耳小爐 如此器器底刻年款並另漢字款者，乾隆朝琺琅器「爐瓶三事」頗多。底款有 乾隆四字、六字，有陰刻於方形鎏金、亦有如此器刻於長排鎏金者。「爐瓶 三事」，乃北京通行之語，即香爐、箸瓶、香盒三物，焚香必備之物。乾隆 朝盛行，更專殿專用。年號款之外的漢字，乃由《千字文》而來，用以編號 管理。用「千字文」來管理書籍、器物早在唐代伊始。到了清代，雍正帝對 《千字文》中漢字進行刪選更改，去不祥、避諱、數目字等字樣，至乾隆朝 廣泛用於宮廷器物。 9.8cm high

A JAPANESE SUMMER TEA BOWL BY TADASHI MASAMURA, 20TH CENTURY Mino ware refers to pottery produced at kilns around Mino province. Pottery began to be produced at these kilns in the 7th century.

The bowl is glazed with a version of the 'Phantom glaze' - a gold crystal glaze, first produced at Seto, towards the end of the Meiji period. Its beauty is best revealed when reflecting the golden rays of the setting sun. The bowl is a significant example of Masamura's work.

Terms and Conditions of Sale The terms and conditions of sale listed here contain the policies of Artvisory Pty Ltd. They are the terms on which Artvisory Pty Ltd and the Seller contract with the Buyer. They may be amended by printed Saleroom Notices or oral announcements made before and during the sale. By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these terms.
b)
1. Background to the Terms used in these Conditions The conditions that are listed below contain terms that are used regularly and may need explanation. They are as follows: “the Buyer” means the person with the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer “the Lot” means any item depicted within the sale for auction and in particular the item or items described against any lot number in the catalogue. “the Hammer price” means the amount of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer in relation to a lot
Images are measured height by width (sight size). Illustrations are provided only as a guide and should not be relied upon as a true representation of colour or condition. Images are not shown at a standard scale. Mention is rarely made of frames (which may be provided as supplementary images on the website) which do not form part of the lot as described in the printed catalogue.
“the Buyers Premium” means the charge payable by the Buyer to the auction house as a percentage of the hammer price. “the Reserve” means the lowest amount at which Artvisory has agreed with the Seller that the lot can be sold. “Forgery” means an item constituting an imitation originally conceived and executed as a whole, with a fraudulent intention to deceive as to authorship, origin, age, period, culture or source, where the correct description as to such matters is not reflected by the description in the catalogue. Accordingly no lot shall be capable of being a forgery by reason of any damage or restoration work of any kind (Including re-painting). “the insured value” means the amount that Artvisory in its absolute discretion from time to time shall consider the value for which a lot should be covered for insurance (whether or not insurance is arranged by Artvisory.)
Catalogue and other Descriptions All statements by Artvisory in the catalogue entry for the property or in the condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not to be relied upon as statements of fact. Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by Artvisory of any kind. References in the catalogue entry to the condition report to damage or restoration are for guidance only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or it’s value for any other purpose. Neither Artvisory nor The Seller is responsible for any errors or omissions in the catalogue or any supplemental material.
c)
Buyers Responsibility All property is sold “as is” without representation or warranty of any kind by Artvisory or the Seller. Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the property and the matters referred to in the catalogue by requesting a condition report No lot to be rejected if, subsequent to the sale, it has been immersed in liquid or treated by any other process unless the Auctioneer’s permission to subject the lot to such immersion or treatment has first been obtained in writing.
2. Artvisory Auctions as Agent Except as otherwise stated Artvisory Pty Ltd acts as agent for the Seller.
4. At the Sale
The contract for the sale of the property is therefore made between the Seller and the Buyer.

3. Before the Sale Examination of Property Prospective Buyers are strongly advised to examine in person any property in which they are interested before the Auction takes place. Neither Artvisory nor the Seller provides any guarantee in relation to the nature of the property apart from the Limited warranty in the paragraph below. The property is otherwise sold “AS IS”
Bidding as a Principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price including the buyers premium and all applicable taxes, plus all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with Artvisory before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Artvisory and that Artvisory will only look to the principal for payment.
d)
International Registrations All International clients not known to Artvisory will be required to scan through an accredited form of photo identification and pay a deposit at our discretion in cleared funds into Artvisory’s account at least 24 hours before the commencement of the auction. Bids will not be accepted without this deposit. Artvisory also reserves the right to request any additional forms of identification prior to registering an overseas bid. This deposit can be made using a credit card, however the balance of any purchase price in excess of $5,000 can not be charged to this card without prior arrangement. This deposit is redeemable against any auction purchase.
e)
Absentee bids Artvisory will use reasonable efforts to execute written bids delivered to us AT LEAST 24 Hours before the sale for the convenience of those clients who are unable to attend the auction in person. If we receive identical written bids on a particular lot, and at the auction these are the highest bids on that lot, then the lot will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors or omissions which may arise. It is the bidder’s responsibility to check with Artvisory after the auction if they were successful. Unlimited or “Buy” bids will not be accepted.
f)

Arrangements for this service must be confirmed AT LEAST 24 HOURS PRIOR to the auction commencing. Artvisory accepts no responsibility whatsoever for any errors or failure to execute bids. In telephone bidding the buyer agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions listed here and accepts that Artvisory cannot be held responsible for any miscommunications in the process. The success of telephone bidding cannot be guaranteed due to circumstances that are unforeseen. Buyers should be aware of the risk and accept the consequences should contact be unsuccessful at the time of Auction.

Artvisory will advise Telephone Bidders who have registered at least 24 hours before the auction of any relevant changes to descriptions, withdrawals or any other sale room notices.
Foreign buyers should note that all transactions are in Australian dollars so there may be a small exchange rate risk. The costs associated with acquiring a good certificate will be carried by the purchaser. If the item turns out to be forged or otherwise incorrectly described, all reasonable costs will be borne by the vendor.
All values expressed in Artvisory Pty Ltd catalogues (in any format) are in Australian Dollars (AU$). All bids, “hammer price”, “reserves”, “Buyers Premium” and other expressions of value are understood by all parties to be in Australian Dollars (AU$) unless otherwise specified.

The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. I)
J)
The buyer will not acquire title for the lot until Artvisory receives full payment in cleared funds, and no goods under any circumstances will be released without confirmation of cleared funds received. This applies even if the buyer wishes to send items interstate or overseas.

Personal cheques are only accepted with prior arrangement and funds must be cleared before goods will be released. Bank cheques are subject to three days clearance.
Auctioneers Discretion The Auctioneer has the right at his absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he may decide, to withdraw or divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots and, in the case or error or dispute and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to re-offer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, then Artvisory’s sale record is conclusive. Successful bid and passing of risk Subject to the auctioneer’s discretion, the highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer will be the buyer and the striking of his hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the Seller and the Buyer. Risk and responsibility for the lot (including frames or glass where relevant) passes immediately to the Buyer.

vi) to set off against any amounts which Artvisory may owe the Buyer in any other transactions, the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by the Buyer. vii) where several amounts are owed by the Buyer to us, in respect of different transactions, to apply any amount paid to discharge any amount owed in respect of any particular transaction, whether or not the Buyer so directs. viii) to reject at any future auction any bids made by or on behalf of the Buyer or to obtain a deposit from the Buyer prior to accepting any bids. ix) to exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security over any property in our possession owned by the Buyer whether by way of pledge, security interest or in any other way, to the fullest extent permitted by the law of the place where such property is located. The Buyer will be deemed to have been granted such security to us and we may retain such property as collateral security for such Buyer’s obligations to us. x)
to take such other action as Artvisory deem necessary or appropriate If we do sell the property under paragraph (iv), then the defaulting Buyer shall be liable for payment of any deficiency between the total amount originally due to us and the price obtained upon reselling as well as for all costs, expenses, damages, legal fees and commissions and premiums of whatever kinds associated with both sales or otherwise arising from the default. If we pay any amount to the Seller under paragraph (v) the Buyer acknowledges that Artvisory shall have all of the rights of the Seller, however arising, to pursue the Buyer for such amount.
