About the Item

A Chinese Kangxi Period Porcelain Blanc de Chine Foo Dog, circa 1680. Very well modelled to show the male dog placing his paw on a brocade ball. Blanc de chine was the term given to white porcelain in the West but was made in the kilns at Dehua in the Fujian province. The porcelain is particularly white and fine-grained. Incense stick holder to one side. Kangxi porcelaine was produced in China during the reign of Emperor Kangxi. He was the fourth Emperor of the Qing Dynasty (1644–1911) and the longest-reigning emperor in Chinese history, he ruled China from 1662 to 1722. Kangxi porcelain features charming and sophisticated designs, inspired by all the periods that went before. These designs are combined with great technical expertise of using a fine white slightly bluish silky glaze applied to a very white body.

A Large Chinese Ming Dynasty Polychrome Porcelain Dish, circa 1620
Located in London, GB
A large Chinese Ming Dynasty polychrome porcelain dish, circa 1620. Late Ming Dynasty. Painted in turquoise, black and red enamels with a central 'Split Pagoda' pattern scene, the cavetto with four landscape vignettes alternating with stylised seals. Many Mid-Century studio potters were inspired by the shapes and designs of ancient Chinese and Ming pottery. We believe this dish is a good example of this, which is why it will fit with both antique and modern interiors, making it the perfect cross-collecting piece.

Dame Lucie Rie, 1950's Porcelain Footed Bowl with Manganese Glaze.
By Lucie Rie
Located in London, GB
This is a great example of a Lucie Rie iconic hand-thrown, footed bowl with manganese glaze. It is thinly potted and slightly pulled into an ovoid shape with an undulating rim. The running glaze is subtle whilst adding an individual element to the decoration of the bowl. The bowl bears the artist's monogram seal mark under. Lucie Rie was an Austrian-born British ceramics artist. Rie’s works, usually consisting of hand-thrown pots, bottles, and bowl forms, are noteworthy for their Modernist forms. Born in 1902 in Vienna, Austria, she studied pottery at the Vienna Kunstgewerbeschule, a school of arts and crafts. In 1937, she won a silver medal at the Paris International Exhibition and by the following year, Rie moved to London to flee Nazi Austria. Once settled in the British capital, she maintained a small studio and continued to produce pottery and small clay objects, including ceramic buttons and jewellery which she sold to support herself. She was later joined by Hans Coper, a young artist who soon became a partner in her studio. She taught at the Camberwell School of Art from 1960...
