REPUBLIC PERIOD (1912–1949)
民国 粉彩庭院仕女图渣斗尊
ESTIMATE: $1.000– $2.000
Description
This elegantly proportioned vessel, fashioned in the form of a zhadou (leavings jar) or ritual zun, features a wide flared, trumpet-shaped neck rising from a globular body. The exterior is delicately painted in the Famille Rose palette with a narrative scene depicting refined ladies or “beauties” (meiren) in a lush garden setting. One lady is seated by a low table reading, while others engage in conversation and leisure amidst stylized garden rocks and blooming flowers. The upper neck is further adorned with a blossoming floral branch and a flying butterfly.
The reverse side of the vessel features an extensive poetic inscription in black ink calligraphy, accompanied by an artist’s signature and a small iron-red seal. The flared rim is highlighted with a thin gilt band. The recessed base is glazed white and bears an iron-red four-character mark within a double square.
Dimensions
• Diameter: 21.6 cm (8.5 in)
• Height: 21.5 cm (8.5 in)
CONDITION REPORT
The vessel is in overall good and stable condition. The Famille Rose enamels remain vibrant and well-preserved with only minor surface wear and a few typical firing pinpricks in the glaze. There is some expected rubbing to the gilt at the rim consistent with age. The base shows a clean, unglazed foot rim with minor earthen remains. No chips, cracks, or signs of professional restoration were observed under standard inspection.
