A pair of enamelled Pronk 'parrot on a perch' beaker vases
Qianlong, circa 1740Each slender beaker vase finely enamelled after a Cornelius Pronk design with a parrot on a perch suspended from a melon-form ornament, the bird chained to the stoop and with colourful plumage, the right talon grasping a cherry sprig, with a blue border at the flared mouth and foot.24cm (9 1/2in) high (2).
|This design is often attributed to Cornelis Pronk but the direct evidence is still lacking. However, the 'parrot' pattern can also be found on Makkum earthenware as well as Meissen porcelain from the 18th century. The present examples were probably part of a five-piece garniture, such as the set illustrated in William R. Sargent, Treasures of Chinese Export Ceramics from the Peabody Essex Museum, Massachusetts, 2012, p. 248, no. 123.Compare with a pair of bottle vases, probably the complimentary garniture vessels to the present lot type, sold in Sotheby's New York, 18 January 2018, lot 529.
