130 ROGER KEVERNE WINTER 2008 105 A rare carved red lacquer stem cup Ming dynasty, 16th century Height: 3D in, 8.4 cm the U-shaped cup has an everted rim and is supported on a spreading stem. The sides of the cup are carved with a continuous frieze between bands of key-fret and wavy petals. A scholar, wearing an official’s hat and belt, and three attendants, carrying a fan, a parasol and a wrapped box, are depicted in a landscape with buildings, rocks and trees, including pine, against various diaper grounds. The stem is carved with lingzhi fungus reserved against a rosette diaper above a chevron and half-blossom band. The rim and base are lined with beaten silver. Formerly in a French private collection and purchased in Berlin in 1958. It is rare to find lacquer stem cups carved with figural subjects; they are more usually found decorated with fruits, or birds and flowers: see, for example, Carved Lacquer in the Collection of the Palace Museum, pl. 258; Garner, Chinese Lacquer, no. 69, in the collection of the British Museum; and Kopplin, Im Zeichen des Drachen: Von der Schönheit chinesischer Lacker, Hommage an Fritz Löw-Beer, no. 67, p. 151, in the collection of the Linden-Museum, Stuttgart.
106 A carved red lacquer bowl Ming dynasty, 16th century Diameter: 4G in, 11.2 cm the U-shaped sides rise from a stepped foot ring and end in an everted lip. A broad frieze of two birds, branches of camellia and prunus, and rocks against a rosette diaper ground is carved between bands of key-fret around the lip and wavy petals around the foot. The interior and base are lacquered black. Provenance: Madame Wannieck, Paris, 1942. For similar examples, see Carved Lacquer in the Collection of the Palace Museum, pls. 254–5; Garner, Chinese Lacquer, ROGER KEVERNE WINTER 2008 131 no. 70, in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum; Kopplin, Im Zeichen des Drachen: Von der Schönheit chinesischer Lacker, Hommage an Fritz Löw-Beer, no. 66, p. 150, in the collection of the Linden-Museum, Stuttgart; and McElney, Inaugural Exhibition (Volume 2: Chinese Metalwares and Decorative Arts), no. 321, p. 134.
