PROPERTY OF AN EAST COAST COLLECTOR

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
$12,000–18,000
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.
