A BLUE AND WHITE BEAKER VASE, GU, TRANSITIONAL PERIOD

Provenance: S. Marchant & Son, London, 3 January 1968. A private collection in Rhineland, Germany, acquired from the above and thence by descent within the same family. A copy of the original signed and stamped invoice from Marchant, dated 3 January 1968 and confirming the dating above, accompanies this lot.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and manufacturing flaws, a minuscule glaze line to the rim.
Weight: 438.4 g
Dimensions: Height 20 cm
This simple and elegant cylindrical form belongs to a group of new shapes among the Transitional Wares. Its concave lines, derived from the earlier Ming prototype, are referred to by R.S. Kilburn as 'serving to emphasize the solid careful potting and good proportion of the pieces', see Transitional Wares and Their Forerunners, Hong Kong Museum of Art, 1981, page 30.
