SCENTED WOMEN 女人.香 - The incense culture and female life in Chinese society -

For thousands of years, incense has been used in China not only for religious ceremonies but as an artistic element in daily life. Since Neolithic times, Chinese people burnt stones and wood for aromatherapy. Once more spices were introduced to China through the Silk Road during the Han dynasty (202BC – AD220), incense became widely used by nobility, literati and upper-class women in their daily life. Thought to nourish the mind as well as the spirit, incense became an aid for reading and contemplation as well as part of traditional medicine, meditation, and religious rituals.

To use incense was considered elegant. During the Tang Dynasty (618-907), fragrance had become a fashion symbol for aristocratic women.

As recorded in Meng Liang Lu, by Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279) literati Wu Zimu, appreciating incense was considered one of four “graceful daily things” along with tasting the tea, creating floral decorations, and arranging paintings on walls.

Scented Women is a curated selection of works of art related to incense culture and female life in Chinese society. For the practice of incense ritual, we include “Three Friends of Incense”- the incense tool vase (lots 4-6), incense burner (lots 7-11, 14, 15, 17-19, 22, 25, 26), and incense powder box (lot 12, 21, 23, 24). Lot 2 is an interesting square marble-inset stand which would have allowed the “three friends of incense” to be moved around the home as shown in the 18th century woodblocks of the novel Jin Ping Mei. Scented Women also features a number of interesting private collections including a group of 19th century Qing dynasty decorative fans (lots 29-36) followed by a series of beautiful, embroidered lady’s costume also dating from late 19th century China (lots 37-44). A collection of vibrant pith paintings depict Qing dynasty aristocratic women at court (lot 28) and paintings on various ceramics wares (lots 48-53) also gives us insight into historic Chinese women’s life.

Durable, easy to clean, resistant to both fire and water, marble-inset tops provided protection to surfaces from daily activities such as the burning of incense or pouring of wine.

64 LARGE CARVED HARDWOOD AND ROOT WOOD STUPA QING DYNASTY, 18TH CENTURY

清 硬木及癭木嵌珊瑚綠松石刻《心經》尊勝塔

of Tibetan style, the square throne divided into two waisted sections, each side of the lower carved in low relief with triratna flanked by pair of ferocious Buddhist lions above a short lotus base, the upper an elongated main section engraved continuously with Heart Sutra, the end signed ‘Qianlong’ and dated to the year of Geng Zi (1780), all sides with natural pierced openness reveals the hollowed centre and accentuates the beautifully textured and characteristic surface, the dome-shaped stupa decorated with raised beads inlaid with turquoise and coral, raised to a harmika and slender five-wheeled spire and parasol, topped with a sun-moon finial, and spherical pinnacle 59.5cm high

£15,000-20,000

Stupa, in Tibetan ‘chörten’, means offering receptacle. Originally as a memorial monument, its principal function is a reliquary container once used for the corporeal remains of Sakyamuni and other significant Buddhist figures. It is a manifestation of the aniconic Dharma body of the Buddha and his divine presence, represents the past and the present, the body and the mind. Hence, a Pāli text claims: ‘The stupa is the Buddha, the Buddha is the stupa’. [1] The unique architectural form of the example presented here is quintessentially influenced by Tibetan characteristics. The square Mount Meru base and the tapered steps are Tibetan in style, the rounded dome is Indian in origin. Above is the cubic harmika, consisting of a five-layered conical spire mast, represents the five elements- earth, water, fire, wind, and void. However, this example is also significantly infused with classical Chinese elite aesthetics. The large proportion of the naturally pierced upper section of the throne celebrates the dynamic transformational processes of nature, which manifests in the appreciation of Chinese scholar’s rocks and is also close to the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi. It breaks free from the rigid traditional sixty-four-unit proportion. [2] Furthermore, the rugged texture of the hollowed centre resembles mountains and caves, particularly the magical peaks and grottoheavens, which invokes a sense of divinity and tranquillity of the onlookers.

Commonly cast in bronze and gilded, this example is uniquely carved from hardwood. Its generous proportions also entail an extraordinary commission. A related example, carved in zitan, was sold at Christie’s Paris, Live Auction 5598 on 8 June 2010, lot 307.

Note: The current owner met Dr Barbara Harrisson (1922-2015), Director and Chief of Ceramicist at the Princessehof Museum in Leeuwarden, in the early 1980s in person and acquired the following information: It was a Dutch custom during the 17th-18th centuries for husbands to mark birthdays etc. and anniversaries by presenting their wives with a piece of blue-and-white porcelain or glassware. The porcelain was imported via Batavia, the Dutch name for what became Jakarta and was often partially glazed with favoured tea-coloured slip and known as ‘Batavian Ware’.

It was known historically that a travelling Bohemian glasscutter had been in Holland around 1790 and had been embellishing glassware and also Batavian ware with incised artwork. The purpose was to enhance the traditional family gifts. The Princessehof had five examples of his work on porcelain.

83 Note: The vase is unusual for its form and decoration.

Whilst other double gourd vases from the Wanli period are known in, for example, collections in the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum (BM no.PDF.727 and V&A no.C.860-1922 respectively), the present lot is particularly large and thus an impressive feat of potting.

In addition to the size, the decorative motifs on the present lot are very striking. The overall pattern achieved through the scattering of various fish, shells, honeycomb motifs, fans and other objects is as harmonious as it is intriguing.

Compare a vase in the British Museum, featuring similar decoration, see J.HarrisonHall, Ming Ceramics in the British Museum, London, 2001, p.389, no.12:88. Soame Jenyns notes that these comparable marked pieces may have been made for either Zhu Changxun, the third son of the Wanli Emperor and killed in 1640, or for his son who became the Prince of Fu and briefly claimed the title of Emperor before his assassination in 1644.

The present lot is another example of such unusual pieces created for the ruling elite amid the chaos of the collapse of the Ming dynasty.

196 RARE LARGE BLUE AND WHITE ‘DOUBLE-GOURD’ VASE MING DYNASTY, 16TH CENTURY 明 青花花果紋葫蘆瓶

£6,000-8,000

A closely comparable large blue and white doublegourd vase, dated to the late Ming dynasty and with similar decoration, was offered at Bonhams London, 17 May 2012, lot 246.

£5,000-8,000

Note: The scene on this dish depicts the Daoist Immortal, Magu, on her way to celebrate the famous peach banquet of the Queen Mother of the West, Xi Wang Mu, who rules over the garden of the peaches of longevity. The fine drawing of Magu’s feminine face is in the traditional Chinese style without shading. The scene contains many symbols of long-life and immortality, especially the lingzhi fungus, the deer, and the peaches, while the blossoming prunus tree represents youth and new life.

Augustus II (1670-1733) King of Poland and Elector of Saxony known as Augustus the Strong, whose passion for collecting created the basis of Dresden’s Art Collections, had a particular fondness for East Asian porcelain from the 17th and early 18th centuries. Obsessed with porcelain, he had the largest collection of Asian porcelain in Europe with over 29,000 pieces recorded on his death in 1733.

This plate can be dated with some accuracy since no new pieces were added to the collection of Augustus the Strong (1670-1733) after his death in 1733, and the inventory books at Dresden reveal that dishes of this kind were acquired in 1727. After his death in 1733, the porcelain was packed away in the cellars of

the unfinished “Japanische Palace”. The term “Johanneum” was taken from the building in Dresden to which the royal collection was moved in 1875-76.

One plate with the same number of the old Dresden inventory (N=183 I, inventory 1779) and almost identical decoration and size is in the Dresden collection.[1] Some other examples with the same inventory number entered the art trade presumably as a result of earlier sales, with examples found in the museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam[2] and in the former Collection Ignazio Vok.[3] Two smaller dishes (39cm diameter and 38.8cm) with the same design and inventory number were sold respectively at Christie’s London, 30 April 2015, lot 111 and Sotheby’s New York, 17 March 2021.

321 BA NYAN (BURMESE 1897-1945) PAGODA oil on canvas, framed, signed lower right; verso: ‘by Ba Nyan’, ‘PAGODA RANGOON’ ‘19.3.31’ ‘OIL PANTING’ 22cm x 30cm Provenance: Deceased estate of a Glasgow gentleman and collector of Asian Art, acquired in 1995.

Tom Bell Fine Art, Troon, Scotland, purchased from John Green Fine Art, 182 Bath Street Glasgow in October 2017.

£600-800

Note: John Green Fine Art Glasgow did not show the work in his gallery at any time and the current owner spotted it in his safe; the painting was then purchased upon Green’s retirement in October 2017.

U Ba Nyan was one of the most important artists in Myanmar during the twentieth century, most well-known for his western Academic style. Born in Pantanaw in 1897, Ba Nyan showed a proficiency in the arts at an early age and studied under Po Maung for four years before being noticed by local officials who supported him in studying at the Normal School.

At the age of 24, Ba Nyan became the first Burmese artist to study at the Royal College of Art in London, with the support of the Burma Art Group, a prestigious institution that supported young Burmese artists with great promise. During his time in London, he developed his signature Academic style, which when he returned to Myanmar in 1925 awarded him great prestige and renown. Working in oil painting, Ba Nyan received many important commissions from notable clients such as Sir Paw Htun, Sir Ba Oo and Shan saophas. Though U Ba Nyan had drawn many paintings depicting the landscapes and lifestyles of Myanmar, most of them were bought by the British and lost during World War II. Few of his paintings can be found today.

In 1939, he became principal of the Art School for Myanmar students; then in 1944 he led a group of artists that opened the Institute of Art, becoming the principal of the academy. His role was such that many younger Burmese artists were influenced by him: Thein Han and Ba Kyi were both prolific and important artists who studied under Ba Nyan. During this period, the war-time prime minister of Burma, U Ba Maw, presented two of Ba Nyan’s paintings to the Japanese Prime Minister, and a third painting to Emperor Hirohito, illustrating the great international acclaim the artist had achieved.

Paintings by Ba Nyan remain rare and highly collectable, with a watercolour of an elephant monument sold for £9,500 and one of the Shwedagon Pagoda sold for £5,500 in 2019 at Grand Auctions in Folkestone, England.

His works remain in important international public and private collections such as A Buddhist Monastery in the National Museum of Myanmar, and At the Jetty in the Singapore Art Museum.

4. JEWELLERY, CLOCKS & OTHER ITEMS (a) Jewellery: (i) Coloured gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds) may have been treated to enhance their look, through methods such as heating and oiling.

Where we do get gemmological reports from internationally accepted gemmological laboratories, such reports may be described in the Sale Particulars. Reports will describe any

improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but will confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made.

As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, Buyers should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary.

This royalty will be charged to the Buyer on the Hammer Price and in addition to the Buyer’s Premium. It will not apply to works where the Hammer Price is less than €1,000 (euros). The charge for works of art sold at and above €1,000 (euros) and below €50,000 (euros) is 4%. For items selling above €50,000 (euros), charges are calculated on a sliding scale. All royalty charges are paid to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’) and no handling costs or additional fees are retained by the Auctioneer. Resale royalties are not subject to VAT.

We cannot guarantee that lines will be available, or that we will be able to call you on the day, but will endeavour to undertake such bids to the best of our abilities. This service is available entirely at our discretion and at the bidder’s risk.
