Subject:金世权 Jin Shiquan Bottle Drawing & 3 Examples
Posted By: beadiste Tue, Jul 07, 2015 IP: 206.174.69.67
In a book about Chinese cloisonne artist Jin Shiquan is shown what I assume is a sketch of his, as I am illiterate in Chinese and cannot read the caption.
Three similar bottles from various auctions are shown in the composite pictures. The ones in the center and on right seem to more closely match the drawing, although none of them display the drawing's more artist arrangement of the small floral motifs.
The bottle on the left was reported to have been purchased in the 1960s in Seattle, Washington. Note that there was an embargo on Chinese imports into the US from 1950-1971 (that's official retail and wholesale imports, not personal items brought into the US).
If anyone would be so kind as to translate the picture's caption, that would certainly be helpful.
The craftsmanship on the bottles doesn't seem all that tidy to me, and the spiral diaper seems unusual. Do they really date from the sixties, as early products of the Beijing Enamel Company? Or are they knock-offs from the village workshops? Or are they recent copies based upon the sketch in the book?
Jin Shiquan retired in 1984, and died in 1992.
The book containing his sketch was published in 2011 - 中国工艺美术大师金世权
