Provenance: The Everts-Calvocoressi-Comnène Collection of Chinese Art, London; Robert Everts was the Ambassadorial Envoy to Beijing from 1910 to 1916 and again from 1920 to 1924, and thence by descent.

The Everts-Calvocoressi-Comnène Collection: Chinese Art

Irène Logan’s parents, Robert Everts and Alexandra, née Calvocoressi-Comnène, formed their collections of Chinese ceramics and works of art during Robert Everts service as the Belgian Ambassadorial Envoy to Beijing from 1910 to 1916 and again from 1920 to 1924. These included lacquer, furniture, porcelain, carved jade and hardstones. The Everts-Calvocoressi-Comnène collections included textiles of which a set of 8 kesi is now in the Victoria and Albert Museum; and an album of Chinese decorative motifs drawn by Alexandra Comnène-Everts, a talented artist and pupil of Anders Zorn, is now in the British Library. The collectors’ interest extended beyond Chinese Art and their discernment in Mexican textiles and metalwork has also been recognised in museum collections in England as in the Franz Mayer Museum, Mexico City. Alexandra Calvocoressi-Comnène’s bridal tiara commissioned from Cartier in Paris in 1913 is displayed in the Bollinger Jewellery gallery of the Victoria and Albert Museum.

17th-18th century, pale green jade, rhyton cup

A pale green jade rhyton cup téléchargement (2) téléchargement (3)

A pale green jade rhyton cup, 17th-18th century. Sold for HK$ 400,000 (€41,976). Photo Bonhams.

The very pale green stone highlighted by scattered darker inclusions, the jade hollowed to form a slender cup raised on a stepped foot, the smooth body encircled by a band of finely incised archaistic scrolls, the handle carved in high relief as a charming chilong clambering up the side to peer over the finely flaring lip. 12.6cm (5in) high

Provenance: Somerset de Chair (1911-1995)

The present lot is exceptionally finely formed, with a most pleasing sweeping curvature to the rim, strongly stylised chilong and delicately turned foot. The horn-shaped form appears to have arrived in China during the Han dynasty from Central Asian and Near Eastern, but had already been absorbed into the Chinese tradition by the Song dynasty: see a rhyton cup with stylised chilong including one biting the rim, dated to the 10th-14th century illustrated by R-Y.Lefebvre d’Argencé, Chinese Jades in the Avery Brundage Collection, Japan, 1977, pl.XXXVII. Another example illustrated ibid., pl.LVII shows the later style from the 18th century, more closely related to the present cup with its elegantly curved rim, archaistic decorative bands and confidently carved chilong, as well as the white and russet stone chosen for the carving.
