RARE AMERICAN MARKET CHINESE EXPORT FITZHUGH PLATE, Jiaqing Era, circa 1805-15 Dating to about 1800, the Fitzhugh pattern, so-called in America only, owing to the fact that an old sea captain, trading from Salem, Massachusetts, to China, used to buy large consignments of this porcelain at Foochow and return with it to his home port for his wife to sell during his next trip. She, dear lady, apparently did not hold with such outlandish names; so Foochow became Fitzhugh and thus remains so-named to this day. This porcelain is found either in blue, green, or rust-red, and carries a wide spearhead border in one of these colors. The center displays four large peonies, typically grouped round a shield or a star like circle surrounding a crest or simple design. It is extremely rare to find a Fitzhugh-patterned piece of Chinese export porcelain painted in not one but two colors. This charming example is one of only a handful of two-colored patterns known to exist. One from the private collection of the beloved dealer Elinor Gordon sold at Sotheby's more than a decade ago for over $15,000.

CHINESE EXPORT MORRIS FAMILY QUAKER COW CUP/SAUCER Jiaqing Era, circa 1810 made for the Morris Family of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania region. The 'Quaker Farmer' pattern, examples of which are found executed in polychrome, green enamel, sepia, and grisaille is closely associated with the Morris family of Philadelphia. A drawing of this subject, ascribed to Mary Hollingsworth Morris (1776-1820), which has long been believed to be the design source for the Chinese export wares, survived in the family and is now at Dumbarton House, headquarters of The Colonial Dames of America. Mary's husband Israel Morris (1778-1870) was an investor in the China Trade, along with several of his brothers, and numerous examples of 'Quaker Farmer' wares have survived within different branches of the family. For a detailed history of the Quaker Morris family, their trade and farming interests, and an exploration of the possible sources for this design, see Brian J. Lang, From East to West "Quaker Farmer" Chinese Export Porcelain in America", the catalogue of an exhibition held at Dumbarton House, Washington DC, October 25 2005 - October 28, 2006. The catalogue also illustrates most if not all of the various versions of the pattern, including two platters from the present service, p.46, pls 21 and 22.

RARE CHINESE EXPORT PHILADELPHIA WATER WORKS DISH Jiaqing Era, circa 1800 small dish in blue palette of the Philadelphia Water Works, with blue cross hatch border and gilt spearhead well interior. 6 1/4 in. Diameter. One of the rarest patterns of early 19th century American market Chinese export porcelain is this dish painted in blue and white enamels that is commonly known as the "Philadelphia Waterworks" pattern, almost all of which nowadays resides in museums around the Country. As the first municipal water system in the United States, the Fairmount Waterworks, which pumped drinking water out of the Schuylkill using hydropower, attracted many visitors to Philadelphia in the early nineteenth century. Located on the banks of the Schuylkill River at the foot of Fairmount Park, the water-works were depicted by numerous American and European artists and subsequently appeared on Chinese export porcelain, highlighting the importance of the Schuylkill River in these works. One of the most famous of the paintings is by Thomas Birch, aptly titled "Fairmount Water Works" and dated to 1821, which is now on display at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. Birch's painting is the source for the design on the Chinese export porcelain made to commemorate this engineering achievement. The engineering marvel has captivated the imaginations of many generations because of both its ingenuity as well as how it harmoniously comports within the larger natural surrounds. But, as the curator of the aforementioned institution recently declared regarding the public's obsession with the Waterworks, the "the real reason is because in the early republic, it was the Schuylkill River that came to define the idea of the United States to the world."

RARE POLYCHROME "SAILOR’S FAREWELL" PUNCHBOWL Late Qianlong/early Jiaqing era, circa 1780-1800
Chinese export American market, the scene on the present punchbowl, known as the Sailor’s Farewell, was an extremely popular subject on Chinese export porcelain from 1750 through the end of the eighteenth century. Although the original source from which it was copied is still unknown, the existence of different porcelain versions and glass paintings with the same subjects indicate that there was more than one print available to the Chinese painters at Canton. The romantic subject matter would have appealed to European sailors in Canton, who perhaps could not afford to order specially designed pieces but who nevertheless wished to take home a souvenir for their wife or sweetheart. The subject appears in Chinese export porcelain in at least 10 variations, including a happy sometimes accompanying scene of The Sailor’s Return. The central couple reveals a range of emotions from tearful, clingy good-byes to seemingly indifferent partings. Howard and Ayers point out that a rather ironic feature of the scene is that on most versions the ship has already set sail without the sailor, an indication to the Chinese painters really had no understanding of the underlying subject matter.
The present punchbowl is one of the latest versions. Seated on a bank in between domed European structures, the couple look off to the ship in the distance. Reproduced on export porcelain for the greater part of the eighteenth century, the wares decorated with this scene covered all markets, with the inclusion of known examples bearing Dutch, British, Portuguese, and Danish flags. Based on the border used on the present punchbowl, the production dates to the 1780s and 1790s, decades when America’s China trade was in the ascendant and many of the other nations’ respective trades were in decline. Accordingly, it is more likely than not that this was made for the American market.

CHINESE EXPORT SCOTSMAN ENAMEL PLATE,18TH C. A Chinese export Scotsman enamel plate, dating from the 18th century. The bottom features a detailed painting of two Scotsmen with traditional garb and accessories; one has a long rifle with a sword and a Scottish Balmoral beret and kilt. the other is playing a bagpipe and carries a flag, also wearing a Balmoral cap and a kilt. The edge has two small illustrations of the Scottish Highlands and two with flowers and a bird. An identical plate is illustrated by Howard and Ayers, Vol. 1 P.239,no.234, who provide an interesting account of the decoration: " the piper is copied faithfully from the 1743 frontispiece engraved by George Bickham for a short history of the Highland Regiment" the private is also after a Bicham drawing of the same date ,the piper has been reveresed ,but the rifleman is as he appears in the drawing .....These prints had also been sold separately ....in 1743 as a "set" of four by John Bowles, and it seems probable that that two were taken to China.

C. 1868-1919 SATSUMA GOLD GILT BOWL W/ WOOD BASEThis lot includes this Satsuma Ware Gold Gilt Bowl with hand-carved wooden base. The scene depicted featured three Samurai, two in the foreground wearing armor - yoroi - made of small pieces of leather and or lacquered metal that were connected with silk laces and cords, making it flexible and easy for the samurai to wear in battle. The Satsuma with which most people are familiar is late Satsuma or nishikide. It is a distinctive Japanese pottery present during the Meiji period (1868 to 1912). The ceramic example has a warm cream, ivory to beige background with a crackled glaze. It bears over-glaze designs in orange, green, blue, red, or gold decoration. One of the more distinctive features of this Satsuma is the crackled glaze and the overall painted decoration. The typical Satsuma ware is a yellowish earthenware usually decorated with a minute decoration with Japanese figures, expressive faces or detailed oriental landscapes, or sometimes embellished with vivid dragons in relief. This ware is in fact an export product specifically designed in the mid 19th century to cater to the western export market. The Japanese themselves had very little interest in this ware. From around the 1890s to the early 1920s more than 100 artist at least twenty larger studios or factories were producing "Satsuma" wares destined for the European and American export markets. Most high quality export 'Satsuma' is easily recognized by its finely crackled glaze and by the fact that its yellowish earthenware body does not "ring" when tapped. The production soon spread to several cities such as Kagoshima, Kyoto, Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Kobe, Kanazawa, and Yokohama and elsewhere throughout Japan, from the Meiji period (1868-1912) up until today. In spite of very good quality work, many good pieces are simply unmarked such as this piece. Genuine Satsuma is native to Japan and never anywhere else including China. Genuine Satsuma never has English writing on it; no “Made in…,” no “Hand-Painted,” no “Genuine…,” and no “Satsuma” anything. This Satsuma Ware Gold Gilt Bowl is in very nice overall condition, no obvious marring observed. Measures 4.25"D x 9.75" diameter approximately, weight approximate 2lb, 2oz

CHINESE EXPORT MORRIS FAMILY QUAKER COW CUP/SAUCER, Jiaqing Era, circa 1810 made for the Morris Family of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania region. The 'Quaker Farmer' pattern, examples of which are found executed in polychrome, green enamel, sepia, and grisaille is closely associated with the Morris family of Philadelphia. A drawing of this subject, ascribed to Mary Hollingsworth Morris (1776-1820), which has long been believed to be the design source for the Chinese export wares, survived in the family and is now at Dumbarton House, headquarters of The Colonial Dames of America. Mary's husband Israel Morris (1778-1870) was an investor in the China Trade, along with several of his brothers, and numerous examples of 'Quaker Farmer' wares have survived within different branches of the family. For a detailed history of the Quaker Morris family, their trade and farming interests, and an exploration of the possible sources for this design, see Brian J. Lang, From East to West "Quaker Farmer" Chinese Export Porcelain in America", the catalogue of an exhibition held at Dumbarton House, Washington DC, October 25 2005 - October 28, 2006. The catalogue also illustrates most if not all of the various versions of the pattern, including two platters from the present service, p.46, pls 21 and 22.
