Schätzwert
£ 60 000 – 80 000
YONGZHENG PERIOD (1723-1735)
The inkstone is of circular form with a recessed channel encircling the interior. The sides of the exterior are exquisitely decorated in slip with a continuous scene depicting a bare, wintry landscape that centres on three islands in a river with a sampan, the branches of the windswept trees all in silhouette without leaves. On one island, a scholar is depicted leaning on his staff as he walks towards a hut, his attendant trailing behind. The stoneware is of a rich brown tone. The original fitted black lacquer box is finely decorated in gilt and red lacquer with four bats encircling a stylised floral medallion, within a scrolling border centred with lotus flowers. The interior of the cover is further embellished with scattered floral sprigs.
The ink stone 9 1/8 in. (23 cm.) diam., excluding fitted lacquer box
