拍品描述 翻译
Expert's note: Lingzhi and lotus, accompanied by peony, iris, and flowering prunus, form a coherent symbolic group expressing wishes for prosperity, longevity, moral resilience, and spiritual purity. Such combinations are characteristic of cultivated elite and scholarly taste and are entirely appropriate for ritual objects of this kind. The program reflects a consciously syncretic Buddhist-Daoist visual language, uniting aspirations for worldly success with spiritual refinement.China, late 16th-early 17th century. The cylindrical body supported on three equally spaced ruyi-form feet decorated with taotie masks, finely chased in low relief and skillfully gilded against a dark coin-diapered ground with a continuous design of auspicious plants including peonies, iris, lingzhi, flowering prunus, and lotus, between key-fret scroll borders at the foot and rim. The base with a gilt circular reserve incised with the four-character Hu Wenming mark.Inscriptions: To the base, 'Hu Wenming zhi'Provenance: Brian Harkins, London, 2011. The Finer Collection, acquired from the above. A copy of the invoice from Brian Harkins, dated 9 February 2011, accompanies this lot. The base with a label from the Finer Collection inscribed with the inventory number 'CB90'. Brian Harkins is an eminent dealer of Chinese and Japanese art and antiquities, based in London. Harkins sold or donated over 90 objects to the British Museum. Ian Finer is a London-based Chartered Accountant whose professional work advising clients in the antiques trade fostered a deep personal engagement with Asian art. Over several decades, he assembled a highly regarded private collection of Chinese bronzes and porcelains. At its core were refined works, notably by the famed metalworker Hu Wenming and other scholars' studio pieces. Finer's collection, which he carefully curated from important auction houses, collectors, and dealers, was recognized for its museum-quality breadth and scholarly focus. Condition: Good condition with expected wear, casting irregularities, old traces of use, minute dents, minuscule nicks, light scratches, the rim with few shallow fissures. The gilding is preserved far beyond what is normally seen on tripod censers of this type.Weight: 375 g Dimensions: Diameter 10.4 cmHu Wenming (active c. 1573-1620) is one of the most renowned metalworkers in Chinese history and one of the few whose name and style are discussed in Chinese art-historical writing. Originally from Yunjian (present-day Songjiang near Shanghai), he became one of the most accomplished craftsmen of the late Ming dynasty. Most of the works attributed to Hu Wenming are scholarly objects, such as incense burners and brush pots, characterized by densely worked backgrounds covered with naturalistic and other motifs cast in high relief. His works frequently reinterpret archaic bronze forms with refined late-Ming ornamentation, such as ring-punched grounds, scrolling foliage, mythical beasts, and wave patterns. His work was highly regarded by the educated elite in the Jiangnan region (lower Yangzi delta). Many surviving pieces bear his six-character seal-script mark 'Yunjian Hu Wenming zhi', indicating workshop pride. His works are held in major museum collections and frequently cited as benchmarks of Ming dynasty metalwork.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: Poly Auction, Hong Kong, 25 November 2012, lot 824Price: HKD 207,000 or approx.
