RARA FIGURA DI CHEN-WU IN PORCELLANA BLANC DE CHINE, CINA, XVII SECOLO
Seated on a raised rock pedestal with a tortoise encircled by a snake, his right hand raised to his chest holding his belt and his left hand rested on his knee, wearing an armour under his flowing robes, his face with a stern expression and surmounted by an official cap with two tassels falling on his shoulders, covered overall with a lustrous cream ivory glaze. In very good conditions, only a finger is missing, and some black spots on the surface more pronounced on the back side and some typical firing cracks on the interior, light surface wears and scratches.

STIMA € 1.500 - 2.000
Label: Bluett
Provenance: from an important Ligurian mansion: the heritage of an elegant gentleman collector who bought in the 60ies-70ies
Note: He is the Dark Emperor, Lord of the Night Sky, and is always associated with the tortoise encircled by a snake. Ruled in one of the cardinal points of the Chinese compass, the cold north. One day during a thunderstorm they appeared to the Sung Emperor, Hui-Tsung, who implored the deity to take human form, whereupon Chen-Wu emerged from the tortoise
