Langsdorf Collection, no. 109 (mark)
Sold at Christie’s New York, 15 March 2015, lot 3124
Stoutly potted dishes of this type were intended to serve as trays for
small flower jardinières or flower pots. See, for example, the Yonzheng-
marked teadust-glazed jardinière and stand sold at Christie’s New
York, 20 March 2001, lot 274, and the Yongzheng-marked red-glazed
flower pot and tray illustrated in Catalog of the Special Exhibition of
K'ang-Hsi, Yung-Cheng and Ch'ien-Lung Porcelain Ware from the Ch'ing
Dynasty in the Palace Museum, National Palace Museum, Taipei, 1986,
p. 72, no. 35. See, also, a similar Yongzheng-marked 'sky-blue'-glazed
dish of similar shape and size and sold at Christie's New York, 13-14
September 2014, lot 1540. Unlike all of the aforementioned dishes,
which have plain exteriors, the present dish is unusual amongst the
group for having a lobed exterior.
