Their catalogue note states: The elegant shape, lavish colouration and meticulous floral scroll on this censer are characteristic of painted enamel wares made by Guangzhou artists employed to produce tribute items for the Qing court. Since the technique of enamelling on metal was introduced by Jesuit missionaries residing in Guangzhou around 1684, the craftsmen of Guangzhou proved so proficient in the new craft that by 1716 the Kangxi Emperor is known to have summoned two artisans from there to work in the enamel workshop of the Imperial Household Department in the Palace. By the Qianlong Emperor’s reign, the art of enamelling on metal had reached exceptionally high standards, and this art-form continued to receive the Emperor’s foremost interest and patronage.This censer is unusual in its shape and floral scroll decoration. The compressed globular form, elegant cabriole legs and thick gilding under the neck are reminiscent of contemporary censers in cloisonné enamel.

Ref.: In Chinese art, the Four Gentlemen or Four Noble Ones (Chinese: 四君子; pinyin: Sì Jūnzǐ) is a collective term referring to four plants: the plum blossom, the orchid, the bamboo, and the chrysanthemum.The term compares the four plants to Confucian junzi, or gentlemen.

This superb mirror-pair of vases in the 'hundred flowers' style is a tour de force of the De Cheng (德成) cloisonné workshop. It would have been extremely time-consuming to produce, requiring a workshop with a set of exceptionally skilled draftsmen. Established between 1850 and 1860, the De Cheng workshop became renowned throughout Beijing over the course of the century for the superior quality of its cloisonné enamel wares, which were eagerly collected not only by members of the imperial court but also by the area’s foreign residents. Even with the resources available to the most sought-after cloisonné workshop of its time, it is not surprising that very few pieces decorated with this complex design were made, and only a handful survived.
Among the represented flower species may be distinguished peonies of several kinds, lotuses, chrysanthemums, magnolia, roses, hibiscus, orchids, iris, lilies, asters, hydrangea, wisteria, pomegranates, begonias, narcissuses, convolvuli, syringas, pyrus japonica (hai-t'ang) etc.
Both are marked with the stamp of the workshop, one of the vases still has part of the original workshop label.
Ref.:
- Cloisonné: Chinese Enamels from the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, Béatrice Quette (ed.), Bard Graduate Center, New York, 2011, p. 28 for a reproduction of the label (see added image). Both Chinese and French texts inform prospective buyers of possible imitations (although put differently) and pinpoint the address of the workshop. In Chinese the text reads as follows: “Now some shameless people counterfeit the trademark of 德成; Nevertheless, our customers have our certificate, specifying exactly where we are located, it is at ‘Jingdu Jianmen wai Yangmeizhu xiejie zhongjian lubei’ [in Beijing outside Tsien-men gate toward the middle of the north side of Yangmeizhu xiejie street).
In French: “The one and only true cloisonné workshop of Teuo-Tcheng is located in Beijing outside the Tsien-men gate, around the middle of Yan-mei-tchou-sie-kiai street (north side)”.
As Quette suggests, these bilingual labels indicate a deep concern about quality and forgeries and it is possible these labels were made on the specific occasion of an international exhibition in Paris (1878 or 1889).
We would like to thank Mr Nicolas Belmans, expert on 19th century Chinese cloisonné, for providing information in the redaction of the catalogue note. Mr Belmans is currently preparing a first catalogue of the De Cheng workshop.

The lot essay states:
Stoups are intended to hold small quantities of holy water for people to dip their fingers in before making the sign of the cross. They were often placed at the entrances to churches or holy sites.
The form is known in Delftware, faïence and metalwork but is rare in Chinese export porcelain. Dias, 1996, suggests that the presence of a cover means it was probably for private use rather than in a church where continual daily use negated its need.
A pair of the same type and decoration as this can be found in the Museu da Fundação Ricardo do Espírito Santo Silva, Lisbon. A few examples are known in blue and white of similar shape, marked IHS to the back plate, for usy by Jesuits.

The coat of arms belongs to the De Pinto family. It has five crescents (two-one-two) and the crest of a plume of three ostrich feathers. The arms on several examples differ from the original with inverted crescents and once ovals. The De Pinto family of Portugal bore a white shield with five red crescents, and in blue this should have been painted as blue crescents on a white ground. (Howard & Ayers, 1978, p.63), (Kroes 2007, p.107)
The De Pinto family were Jewish and came from Spain and Portugal, arriving in Rotterdam and Amsterdam about the middle of the 17th century. Later, in the third quarter of that century, they also settled in The Hague. The De Pintos became very wealthy and lived in grand style in patrician homes and landed estates. Several members of this family could have commissioned this porcelain, such as David Emanuel (1652-1712) or one of his three cousins: Mozes (c.1654-1729), Aron (died 1718) and Joseph (died 1740). Mozes and Aron lived in The Hague and the famous philosopher Isaac de Pinto (1717-1787) was Aron's grandson. David Emanuel and Joseph both lived in the Sint Antoniesbreestraat in the Jewish quarter of Amsterdam. David Emanuel, the wealthiest member of his family, probably commissioned this armorial service.
David Emanuel de Pinto (born Rotterdam, 1652; died Amsterdam, 27 October 1712) inherited his patrician house in Sint Antoniesbreestraat, no.69, from his father Isaac who had bought it in 1651 for fl.30,000. (Kroes 2007, p.107)

This is a fine example of this rare design, traditionally attributed to the Pronk workshop, though it is probably not by Carnelis Pronk himself.
The VOC set up a venture in the 1730's to make very high quality porcelains in China to specific designs produced in the West, but in the Chinese style.
They employed Dutch artist Cornelis Pronk to make designs for these and he produced four sets of drawings over about three and half years that were sent out to Batavia. From there the designs were taken to Canton and the production was commissioned by Chinese agents. The designs were elaborate and used bright enamel colouring.
Eventually these proved too expensive and the venture was abandoned in about 1740, though some of the designs were revived in the later 18th century, including the Parasol design for which an original drawing survives - and a ‘flowers and moth’ design recombining details from prints by Marie Sybilla Merian - which had also been used for various other details in the Pronk designs.
What remains today is a rare and fascinating range of porcelains, with distinctive colouring and of a very high quality. Thus they have an appeal to serious collectors of Chinese porcelain.
As the problems had developed with the costs of manufacture it seems likely that the Dutch agents in Batavia tried to simplifiy the designs and to broaden the range of designs. One pattern that was introduced featured the 'parrot and spaniel' design on the present pair, taken from a Meissen service of about 1732 using a chinoiserie drawing by Petrus Schenk.
Parrots were a quick short hand for the exoticism of the Far East and also popular as pets and so a few different examples appear on designs in the Pronk workshop at this time.

Yingying receiving good news delivered by the pageboy - 泥金报捷
This is a story from the Romance of the Western Chamber, a famous Chinese play written by Wang Shifu (王实甫, 1260-1336) during the Yuan dynasty (1271-1368):
On his way to the capital to take civil-service exams, Scholar Zhang (张生) fell in love with the beautiful Cui Yingying (崔莺莺), who was stranded in a monastery. They had to be separated because Yingying’s mother only allowed Zhang to marry Yingying after he succeeded in his exams. Half a year passed and, when Zhang won the official honours, he sent the pageboy to tell Yingying the good news. Yingying was thrilled to receive the glad tidings.

This exceptional Chinese dish for the English market combines the portrait of Queen Victoria and the British crown, with the date 1757 below the Queen's portrait.
In 1757, the East India Company took control of India. This dish likely commemorates this occasion, so it was probably ordered at a slightly later date, possibly in 1767. The enamelling on the piece is reminiscent of Canton enamels from the period.

One of the most charming themes within the genre of Chinese figure painting is that of 'the knickknack peddler', an itinerant merchant surrounded by animated children that flank his cart, laden with toys, sweet treats, and household wares. Believed to have originated with the Southern Song dynasty (1127-1269) court painter Su Hanchen and taken up by Li Song (active 1190-1265), and Wang Zhenpeng (active early 14th c.), these compositions were further embraced by artists working under imperial patronage in the dynasties that followed the fall of the Song.
The merchant's cart and its contents are painstakingly detailed, and upon close inspection, one can see the speckled bamboo and elaborately wrought fittings upon which the merchant displays his wares. From the fabric canopy and bamboo poles are numerous hanging ornaments, and on one side fine porcelain and lacquer is displayed, the other an assortment of toys and sweets, the food protected from pests by a wire mesh covering. One can understand the children's excitement at the merchant's arrival, as we can all look in fascination at the array of products his cart holds.
The rich details of the merchant's cart are matched by the carefully rendered clothing and delicately drawn faces of those in attendance. The children's finely woven silk brocades and gilt earrings reveal their noble, if not imperial upbringing, and their enjoyment of the event is patent in their expressions of glee and wonderment as they discover the treasures the merchant carries with him, or play with their newly acquired novelties.
Although one would may expect to find an itinerant merchant within an urban environment, the elaborate rock and flowering plants indicate this is a garden setting. Likely within the walls of a family compound, the location of the painting is another indication of the wealth and prestigious status to which the children belong.

The collection entry states:
The length of this chair strip is divided into segments, with a different design for each part of the chair being covered - the front legs, seat, and back, and a short segment that hangs behind the chair. Elements of standard rebuses are present in the section with the elephant embroidery, where various treasures and auspicious objects crowd the vessel on the elephant's back. For example, the frequent pairing of a musical stone and a halberd occurs on one side of the vessel, representing a celebratory occasion. On the other side of the vessel, peaches, symbolising longevity, dangle from a branchlike decorative accessory (ruyi), which stands for wish fulfillment. The elephant is a rebus for a sign. Thus, the composite motif is read as 'signs of celebration and longevity.'

Jean Dinh Van was born in 1927 in Boulogne-Billancourt, France. His father, a Vietnamese married to a Breton woman, worked as a lacquer artisan. Dinh Van joined Cartier in 1946, where he learned the trade of jewelry craftsman in the great tradition during ten years.
In 1965, Jean Dinh Van opened his own jewelry workshop on the Place Gaillon in Paris. The stylistic themes of his jewelry radically set him apart from the traditional world of jewelry. In 1967, he created the square 2-pearl ring with Pierre Cardin, now exhibited at the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris. In his desire to shake up the traditional codes of French jewelry, Jean Dinh Van chose to market his creations not at jewelery stores, but in the gift departments of the large retail chain, Publicis, in France.

Inscribed 子孙万年 on the base, which translates to 'eternal longevity of generations'.
Ref.: The Metropolitan Museum, New York, Accession Number 2001.135.7, for an earlier example. (link) The catalogue entry states: Cast after an ancient Han or Six Dynasties (25-618) prototype, this scholar's water dropper is in the form of a tortoise holding a small cup in its mouth. The creature is surmounted by a snake inlaid with gold and silver strips. In combination, the snake and tortoise represent the north, or the 'dark warrior'. In spite of the patterned inlay, the animals are realistically cast. The tortoise is even correctly detailed with scales and plastron on the underside. A bronze tortoise-form water dropper was recently excavated from a third- or fourth-century tomb in Ch'ing-hai province. In keeping with scholar's taste for the ancient, this seventeenth-century writing utensil once used on a scholar's desk must have been based on an ancient prototype.

Provenance: The private collection of Joseph Rondina (1927-2022), antiques dealer since 1957 in New York.
Don McNair writes (excerpt from The Private Collection of Joseph Rondina): 'Joseph Rondina was born into a first-generation Florentine American family in Auburn, upstate New York. He attended Auburn schools, graduated from Manlius Military Academy, and served in World War II with the U.S. Army Occupation Forces stationed in Berlin. Returning to the U.S. at the end of the war with a renewed appreciation of art and history, as well as a continental approach to decorating, he graduated from the Whitman School of Design in New York City. He opened Joseph Rondina Antiques in 1957 on East 62 Street at Madison Avenue, taking over the existing premises of Williams-Michelsen. With his instinctive eye for elegance and refinement, it was not long before his establishment was the go-to destination for European aristocracy, scions of industry, notables of the social register and café society from the U.S. and abroad. His interests focused primarily on European 18th century decorative arts and furniture, over time developing to include Chinese, Korean, Indian, Siamese, Cambodian, Persian and Japanese, bringing a more esoteric and exotic style to the market. With his sensitivity to changes in taste, he captured the mood of the period and knew exactly what was appropriate for the time. It would bring him enormous pleasure to see his collection enjoyed by the next set of owners. The selection of furniture and objects in this catalogue tell a story of an intensely private individual and give an insight into an extraordinary life well-lived.'

Inscribed on the base inside the vessel '..父丁', the first two characters illegible.
The brownish patina (蜡茶色) on this vessel is rare. It is considered as the most desirable colour on archaic bronzes, by scholars of the Ming and Qing dynasties. For example, Ming scholar Gao Lian (高濂) in his book 遵生八笺, 卷十四, where he ranks the brownish patina the best among all archaic bronze colours, followed by silver or black, then green, etc. (…故古铜以褐色为上,水银黑漆鼎彝次之,青绿者又次之,…).
