About the Item

Pair of 17th Century blue and white covered bowls from the Hatcher Collection painted with a river landscape. The bowls are shaped with steeply rounded sides, painted with a continuous river landscape with two figures conversing on an island beside a pavilion and trees, sailing boats on the river and mountains in the distance. A flight of birds flies overhead. The domed cover is painted with a similar landscape encircling a straight knob finial. There is some discoloration down the side. These bowls were part of a hoard recovered by Captain Michael Hatcher from the wreck of a ship that sunk in the South China sea in approximately 1643. Approximately 25,000 pieces from that shipment were sold at auction at Christies Amsterdam in 1984, which Sam and Myrna Myers attended and at which they primarily bought Transitional ware pieces. 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. Provenance: Christie's Amsterdam, Hatcher Cargo, June 12, 1984, lot no. 739-47. A similar item is pictured on p. 29 of the Christie's sale catalog for its second sale of Hatcher Cargo on February 14, 1985.
