Pair of Hatcher Collection Blue and White Porcelain Jars
About the Item
Pair of small 17th century blue and white porcelain jars from the Hatcher collection.
These jars were 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 pieces 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 pieces, which reflected more pure 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, each jar's decor depicts a serene clifftop landscape with trees and small houses in the foreground and the rising mountains in the background. Due to their 300-year underwater sojourn, the typically vibrant blue is softened and the finish appears matte.
The jars are in very good condition, excluding a very small chip at the bottom of one of the jars.
