Important Pair Of Nanking Cachepots With Their Carved Wooden Stands – China, Circa 1880
Important Pair of Nankin Planters with Carved Hardwood
Stands – China, circa 1880–1900, Late 19th Century
Large and impressive pair of Nankin cache-pots in
crackled glazed stoneware, decorated in underglaze cobalt blue with confronting
dragons among flowering peonies and scrolling foliage. The rims are encircled
by stylised geometric key-pattern borders, while the lower section shows
moulded wave motifs in relief. The glaze displays a fine craquelé typical of
late Qing period Nankin ware.
Each planter is raised on an elaborately carved hardwood
stand, finely decorated with openwork floral and scroll motifs, cabriole legs
ending in claw-shaped feet, and shaped stretchers.
The stands were made to display the planters and are in the Chinese export taste of the late 19th century.
Dimensions: Cache-pots: H55 by 65cm. / H21.65 by 24.41 inch.
Cache-pots on stands: H102 cm / H40.16 inch.
