A rare and large Chinese blue and white jardinière, Wanli mark and period, robustly potted, the steep rounded sides rising to a thick lipped rim, painted with two lively five clawed dragons writhing amongst a ground of scrolling lingzhi, between a band of ruyi at the rim and a double line border above the foot, the six character mark inscribed within a rectangular horizontal panel below the rim, 43cm high, 51.5cm diameter Private Collection, Oxfordshire This jardiniere is part of a rare wucai group that were made in the Wanli period which were usually fired twice. The second, lower temperature enamel firing would have been for the overglaze yellow, that would have been painted to the lingzhi fungus and green to the 'ruyi' at the rimA very similar, but slightly smaller wucai example can be seen in the Percival David Collection in the British Museum, where the yellow lingzhi fungus stands out in strong contrast to the dark cobalt blue of the dragons, there is another wucai example in the British Museum of a similar size, but not as competently paintedAt auction, a very similar wucai example was sold at Sotheby’s Hong Kong on 23 October 2005 and another damaged and repaired example was sold at Christie’s Hong Kong in September 2011A variant of this jar with a lotus pond and dragons with a long mane to their necks was sold at Sotheby’s New York on 22 September 2021. In these examples the mark is painted to the undecorated rim without a rectangular border. Another similar example to this can be seen in the Burrell Collection, GlasgowBlue and white jardinieres do exist in this shape in the Wanli period, but the author found no direct related examples to this piece, which leads one to conclude that this is an incomplete wucai piece. One can see prototypes to this jardiniere in the Jiajing period painted with a dragon amongst flame and cloud scrollsBlue and white jardinieres with dragons do exist in the Wanli period but they are rare - see an example amongst lotus scroll at Christie’s Hong Kong, 01 November 2004, lot 863. Blue and white examples painted with fish and Buddhist lions can also be found such as one sold at Bonhams, London on 07 November 2024 and one sold at Christie’s New York on 27 November 1991, where the mark is painted to the undecorated rim Two hairline cracks from the top rim - one 17cm long, the other, more apparent, 27cm long. Another two hairline cracks in the base. Glaze and enamels good, with only little sign of wear. Extra images online.

FISHER, BATH, MID 19th CENTURYThe substantial four double-screwed pillar movement with thick ogee-topped tapered plates measuring 9.75 inches high and 6.5 inches wide at the base, enclosing four-wheel train with Harrison's maintaining power, high pinion counts, six-spoke wheel crossings and deadbeat escapement with jewelled pallets regulated by faceted glass jar mercury compensated pendulum suspended from the case backboard and incorporating fine beat adjustment to crutch, the frontplate fitted with pull-chain sprung ratchet mechanism to facilitate keyless winding of the movement, the 14 inch circular silvered brass dial with recessed subsidiary seconds over engraved signature E. Fisher, Bath and conforming Roman numeral hour dial to centre, within outer minute ring incorporating Arabic five minute annotations, with blued steel hands, the arched case with full-height glazed door enclosing finely carved foliate scroll apron incorporating floral trail pendants beneath the dial over conforming relief-carved apron panel to lower margin, the 'plum-pudding' figured backboard applied with pendulum beat scale, the sides with hinged movement access flaps, the base with frieze flanked by leaf-carved scrolls fronting swollen ogee-outline waist moulding, over recessed oval panel fronted plinth and ogee moulded skirt with squab feet.218.5cm (86ins) high, 68cm (26.75ins) wide, 32cm (12.5ins) deep. Edwin Fisher first worked as a watchmaker and a jeweller from 13 Somerset buildings, Bath, from circa 1819 before moving to 14 New Bond Street by 1833. On a trade card, he is styled as a watchmaker, specialising in French watches, chronometers, and repeaters, as well as carrying out repairs to musical works and offering a supply of keys and precious metal chains. In 1842 Edwin Fisher was working from 13 Abbey Churchyard, and then moved again, to 9 Old Bond Street, in 1846; he is believed to have retired in 1866. The movement of the present lot is particularly robustly built and finely finished with plates approximately 5mm thick, large blued-steel pillar securing screws and collets, separate pivot plate for the escape wheel positioned on the backplate, and a heavy-gauge dial plate. The quality of the movement is mirrored in the case with fine carved decoration beneath the dial and well-chosen 'plum-pudding' figured mahogany veneers. The glass mercury jar pendulum is also very well made with finely finished steel frame cut faceted jar.
