Chinese Export Porcelain Double Peacock Soup Tureen, Cover and Stand, Circa 1765 This Chinese export famille rose soup tureen, cover and stand is painted with the celebrated “Double Peacock” pattern, one of the most distinguished designs produced for the European market in the Qianlong period. The oval stand, its shaped rim scalloped in gentle lobes, and the oval tureen, its swelling bombé sides rising from a spreading molded foot, are decorated en suite with a pair of peacocks perched upon pierced garden rockwork amid flowering peonies, chrysanthemums and leafy branches. The birds are finely rendered, their plumage worked in rich tones of green, blue, ochre and iron-red, the long tail feathers sweeping across the white ground, while a profusion of blossoms in deep rose-pink, coral and soft green fills the surrounding field. The low domed cover repeats the floral decoration and is surmounted by a boldly modeled pomegranate knop in iron-red and gilt, and the sides of the tureen are flanked by a pair of hare’s-head handles, also in iron-red with gilt spotting. A spearhead border frames the central composition of the stand and runs around the foot of the tureen, while the rims are banded with a running gilt trellis on an iron-red ground, interrupted at intervals by reserved panels of underglaze blue scrolling ornament that lend depth and vivacity to the palette. Dimensions Overall, assembled: Width: 15 inches (38.1 cm) Depth: 11¾ inches (29.8 cm) Height: 9¾ inches (24.8 cm) Tureen: Width: 13¼ inches (33.7 cm) Depth: 9¼ inches (23.5 cm) Height: 9 inches (22.9 cm) Stand: Width: 15 inches (38.1 cm) Depth: 11¾ inches (29.8 cm) Height: 2½ inches (6.4 cm) Provenance Private collection. Condition Good antique condition throughout, the vibrant famille rose enamels, underglaze blue borders and extensive gilt highlights remaining remarkably bright, crisp and well preserved across all three components. Historical Context The “Double Peacock” pattern, the Serviço dos Pavões of Portuguese and Brazilian collectors, is among the most celebrated of all Chinese export famille rose designs. It was produced in great quantity for the open market, an estimated twenty thousand pieces between about 1750 and 1795, and has always been particularly prized in Portugal, Brazil and England; the Brazilian authority José de Almeida Santos, in his Manual do Colecionador Brasileiro (1950), ranked it the finest of the famille rose services made to European commission and singled out the drawing of the birds. Much of its renown rests on a royal association. The Portuguese royal house owned a service of the design, and when the French invasion of November 1807 drove the Braganza court into exile, the Prince Regent Dom João, King João VI from 1816, sailed for Brazil with his mother, Queen Maria I, and the court, carrying his Chinese porcelain services...

English Bone China Trompe L’oeil Melon Tureen, Probably Minton, Circa 1825–1835 This English bone china tureen and cover is modeled in trompe l’oeil as a ripe melon, oval and ribbed, its segments washed in bands of bright green and yellow over a netted, pebbled skin molded in relief. The cover is surmounted by a gnarled stalk handle, its end cut square to show the rings of the stem, from which spring curling tendrils and heart-shaped serrated leaves veined in puce, lying across the top of the fruit, and a short stalk is modeled at one end of the body. Both parts are glazed plain white inside, and the cover seats on a raised inner flange. The model follows the melon tureens made at Meissen and taken up at Chelsea and Longton Hall in the 1750s, and the flat base carries a faint crossed-swords mark in underglaze blue in imitation of Meissen. Marks of this kind were used on English bone china in the second quarter of the nineteenth century, when the rococo taste for naturalistic table wares returned to fashion. Minton applied a pseudo-Meissen crossed swords in underglaze blue to its ornamental porcelain of this period, as on the flower-encrusted pen tray presented to Princess Victoria on her fourteenth birthday in 1833, now in the Royal Collection, and the factory’s surviving design books of the early 1830s record ornaments and dishes filled with modeled porcelain fruits and vegetables. Coalport, whose encrusted wares are often confused with Minton’s, also used a crossed-swords mark, and remains the principal alternative. Another tureen of this model was sold at Sotheby’s, New York, on 26 September 1998, to the decorator Mario Buatta. Dimensions Height: 5 inches (12.7 cm) Width: 6¼ inches (15.9 cm) Depth: 4 inches (10.2 cm) Marks Faint crossed swords in underglaze blue on the flat base, in imitation of the Meissen mark. Provenance Private Maryland Collection Earle D. Vandekar of Knightsbridge Condition Excellent, the green and yellow enamels bright and glossy; a tiny chip to one side of the cover rim, invisibly repaired. References Geoffrey A.
