A RARE BLUE AND WHITE MONTEITH
KANGXI PERIOD (1662-1722)
The notched rim above cartouches of beasts and birds reserved on
a ground of dense scrolling foliage, the interior with auspicious
antiques below Buddhist emblems, the base with a blue fower mark

12Ω in. (31.7 cm.) diameter

$30,000-50,000

This rare form emulates English silver examples that were
fashionable between about 1680 and 1720, their distinctive rims
made to hold wine glass bases so their bowls could cool in ice. The
bowls were named after an eccentric Scot, Lord Monteith, who
wore his cloak hem notched in this fashion.
