Proveniens

From the Collection of Hans Olbers (1932-2020), Djursholm, Sweden. Thence by descent.

The Olbers family were active members of the Swedish East India Company during the 18th and 19th Century. The most renowned member of the family is presumably Levinius Olbers (1725-1804), who participated in a total of 12 trips to China, several as commander/captain. The trips were adventurous, and he survived no less than three shipwrecks. Growing up in a family with so much history with the East India Company, it became natural for Hans Olbers to have a great interest in Chinese Works of Art. Throughout his professional life as a businessman he had most of Asia as his field of work.

Litteratur

A similar dish of this large proportion is illustrated by Peter Lam in Imperial Porcelain of Late Qing from the Kwan Collection, Art Gallery, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, 1983, no. 125, p. 124.

The imagery on Chinese decorative arts is often imbued with wishes of good fortune, long life, prosperity, and many children. The Eight Buddhist Emblems that are depicted on this dish were popular decorative elements during the Qing Dynasty, when this dish was made. The eight emblems are: the Wheel of Law, a conch shell, a victory banner, an umbrella, a lotus flower, a vase, a pair of fish, and an endless knot.
