De forme poire, la panse et le col godronnés sont décorés de rinceaux fleuris en cartouches. Le pied et la partie supérieure du col et de la panse sont ornés d'une frise de pétales de lotus en léger relief. Le bec est agrémenté de motifs de nuages ; petites égrenures et fêle associé. Hauteur: 20 cm. (7 7/8 in.) (2). Estimate €12,000 – €15,000 ($16,337 - $20,421). Unsold.

Provenance: From a distinguished French private collector, Val de Loire

Notes: Probably derived from the kendi and inspired by Middle Eastern metalwork, these elegant and extremely rare vessels were possibly made for the Middle Eastern market. Their particularly slender long spouts suggest that they may have been intended as rosewater-sprinklers rather than ewers. Another source of inspiration was probably the group of blue and white vessels of the Wanli period (1573-1619) known as 'pomegranate ewers' due to their pomegranate-shaped mouths (see Maura Rinaldi, Kraak Porcelain, A Moment in the History of Trade, London, 1989, pls. 225 - 230); their slender spouts and lobed bodies are similar to those in the present lot.
