17th Century Covered Vase from Hatcher Collection
About the Item
Transitional Period blue and white Chinese porcelain ovoid vase with cover from the Hatcher Collection.
This vase was part of a hoard recovered by Captain Michael Hatcher from the wreck of a ship that sunk in the South China sea in 1643. Approximately 25,000 items from that shipment were sold at auction at Christies Amsterdam in 1984, which we attended. Most of these pieces were tableware in the Dutch taste, known as "Kraak" porcelain, but we decided to focus on the Transitional ware, which reflected more purely Chinese taste and to select the most rare and unique porcelain.
The Transitional period, which took place between the Ming and Qing dynasties, and which ran from the beginning of the 17th century until approximately 1660, marked a shift in Chinese ceramic styles as the pieces became more original, poetic, and more freely drawn than those made in the official kilns.
Here, the vase is decorated with sprays of flowers (peonies and maybe chrysanthemums) and hovering dragonflies. Due to its 300-year underwater sojourn, the typically vibrant blue is softened and the finish appears more matte.
Provenance: The Hatcher Collection, Christies Amsterdam, 1984.
