A LARGE CLOISONNÉ ENAMEL BASIN
David and Fay Peck began their extraordinary journey into the world of Chinese cloisonné enamels during a trip to China in the 1980s. They acquired their first pieces of cloisonné from a Friendship Store in Beijing, fascinated by the exuberance of the colors and complexity of the workmanship. Passing through Hong Kong on their way home they came across a monumental pair of cloisonné sheep (lot 649), which they decided to bring back with them to the United States, and which would form the impetus for putting together their collection over the course of the next twenty years. They returned to China twice, but it was during a trip to Paris and London that they became acquainted with prominent Asian Art dealers, such as Roger Keverne, whom they first met while he was working for Spink & Son, and who helped to guide them and distill their collection into the refined and comprehensive selection presented in this sale.

Basins of this type were used as wash basins, and one supported in a wood wash stand is seen in a photograph illustrated by Wan Yi et al., in Daily Life in the Forbidden City, New York, 1988, p. 149, pl. 203.
A very similar basin, of comparable size (55.5 cm.), is illustrated by H. Brinker and A. Lutz in Chinese Cloisonné: The Pierre Uldry Collection, The Asia Society Galleries, New York, 1989, no. 162, where it is dated second half 17th century. Another in the collection of the Österreichisches Museum für Angewandte Kunst, Wien, is illustrated by Gunhild Avitabile in: Die Ware aus dem Teufelsland: Chinesische und japanische Cloisonné- und Champlevé-Arbeiten von 1400 bis 1900, Museum für Kunsthandwerk, Franfurt am Main, 1981, pp. 92-3, no. 43, where it is dated to the second half of the Wanli period (1590-1619). See, also, the similar basin from the C. Ruxton and Audrey B. Love Collection sold at Christie's New York, 20 October 2004, lot 606.
