Our #London sale of Important Chinese Art on Wednesday is headlined by a pair of ‘famille-rose’ ‘sanduo’ cups which appears to be unique. Produced during the Yongzheng period (1723-1735), the cups embody to perfection the subtlety in the rendering of colour nuances that was made possible with a new range of enamels introduced from Europe. The porcelain painters also aspired to new goals in representation and a degree of naturalism that had not been possible to achieve before. Here, the burst-open fruits revealing a dense array of juice seeds and the thin enveloping skins separating them into pockets are masterfully rendered. The Yongzheng Emperior is known to have been enamoured with auspicious symbols: the design, with sprays of fruiting pomegranate, peach and loquat, represents a variation of the auspicious sanduo (‘three abundances’) motif. This pair of cups originally belonged to one of the most renowned collectors and dealers of #Chinese art in the 20th century, Edward T. Chow, whose name remains one of the most coveted provenances for a piece of Chinese art. #SothebysAsianArt
