Bowl - Porcelain - Imperial Thieu Tri

The under-cover mark, produced during the Shaozhi era (Shaozhi, 1841-1847), is an imperial Vietnamese mark of the Nguyen dynasty, produced in Jingdezhen for the Vietnamese court, Emperor Thieu Tri, during the Daoguang era. This lot is extremely rare and includes imperial porcelain commissioned by Emperor Thieu Tri of the Nguyen dynasty during the Daoguang era. Emperor Thieu Tri, deeply influenced by his grandfather and father, received a profound Confucian education and was distinguished by his exceptional refinement. During the Minh Mang era, he was endowed with the title Duke Truong Khanh and entrusted with important responsibilities. Upon the death of Emperor Minh Mang in 1841, he ascended the throne. He reigned for only six years, managed affairs of the Tran Thai province, and resisted the French invasion, proving to be a capable and conservative sovereign. Most porcelain commissioned by Emperor Thieu Tri features dragon motifs, testament to high craftsmanship and refined aesthetic taste. Moreover, he drew inspiration from Western porcelain styles and commissioned their production in China. The inscriptions often bear the phrases "Produced in the year of Thieu Tri", "Produced in the year of Xin Chou", and "Produced in the year of Yi Si". This lot presents a five-clawed dragon decoration that, while not as imposing as traditional dragon motifs, possesses a unique charm. The cobalt blue is vibrant and the porcelain body is of pure, delicate white, making it a masterpiece among commissioned porcelains. Metal rims: the porcelains, known as "Bleu de Hue", were everyday court objects or prestigious gifts for mandarins. The metal rims were added to prevent chipping and cracking at particularly vulnerable points, ensuring the longevity of the piece. The porcelains “without metal rims” with specific royal marks, such as that of Thiệu Trị, confirm their imperial destination. Attached image: Sold with about 4 mm of chip on the inner rim, €4,680.
