Masterpiece

Imperial Blue & White 15th Century. Ming Dynasty Chenghua Mark & Period Brush Washer 

SALE $2,700,000.

This is an extremely fine incised B/W Ming Dynasty Chenghua period Imperial brush washer. This brush washer was painted in a wave pattern some crashing against the rocks with finely incised mythical animals above the water. The brush washer measures approx. 5 9/16 inches tall. Chenghua period was from 1465 - 1487. These blue and white wares are the most sought after blue and white wares China ever produced. The beautiful cobalt used during this period makes them very easy to distinguish from other periods. They have a distinct blackish tone from the imported somali blue cobalt they used during that period. They also mixed in local cobalt call pitang to stabilize the Imported cobalt because it was known to run. Most Chenghua wares don't have the heaping and piling effect because they refined the cobalt so well, pieces that have heaping and piling that breaks the surface of the glaze will show a silvery skin reflection. The imported cobalt came from Persia and known one knows where in Persia. China has not imported this cobalt since the end of the Chenghua period over 500 years ago. The Chenghua wares are painted with fine outlines and filled in with a broad brush using loose free   style strokes. They refined the clay better than any previous period and used high firing kilns, often causing un- glazed bottoms to look burnt or mottled and glazed bottoms will look wavy. The glaze has tiny even bubbles that can be seen with a loupe.

These Exquisite Masterpieces Falangcai Famille Rose Vases are very thinly potted,and they were decorated in the Forbidden City in Beijing during the Yongzheng period 1723 to 1735. These vases were painted using Falangcai enamels and it is said that the Emperor himself oversaw the manufacture of these wares. It took such skill and control to create these Vases, Look close and you will understand what a true Chinese Ceramic Masterpiece looks like. It's important to look carefully and zoom in on the leaves, flowers, and branches you will see the detail, colors, and shading that gives balance and depth to these Vases. Collectors must learn to recognize the differences of a good piece compared to great piece or masterpieces.

Pay attention to the details and color balance and shading this will help you to see and understand the difference. These vases

TOTALLY CORRUPT Sotheby's, Christies, Bonhams
By Joseph Sharon December 27, 2023
I speak out to expose the corruption that permeates the entire fine Asian art market in America and the World. I started collecting in the 70s and in the 90s I began to put together a very fine collection from private Chinese sources that risk severe persecution just owning their collections that were passed down by ancestors that were in power long before the Communist.
