Alkuperä - Provenienssi
From the Collection of a Swedish Connoisseur of Asian Works of Art. This is part of a collection, a collection that was assembled not only with great care, but also with a deep curiosity and passion for learning - a true academic collection. The collector has been actively buying and studying Chinese porcelain since the early 1970’s.
Näyttelyt
The French name commonly used today derives from burgau (sea-ear, referring to the iridescent shell nacre of the abalone traditionally used) and laque (lacquer).
Kirjallisuus
Stemcups made in the lac burgauté technique are extremely rare, although a related example was included in the exhibition One Man's Taste. Treasures from the Lakeside Pavilion, The Baur Collection, Geneva, 1988, p. 5; and a pair of stemcups was offered at Christie's London, 5/6th July 1984, lot 612. Lacquer stemcups were generally lined with metal, probably silver or silvered copper, as the walls are too thin and delicate for use.
