Porcelain with green glaze. China, Qing, 19th cent.A rather compact hu vase with a beautiful, cool apple-green glaze and a fine dark texture, partly dotted, but primarily formed by craquele. The mouth opening vigorously flares outwards, the glaze on the lip and the interior of the vase is white, also on the bottom. 綠釉瓷器花瓶. 中國, 清代, 19 世紀. 高 13.4 厘米.HEIGHT 13,4 CMFrom the collection of Jürgen L. Fischer, AsconaThe renowned collector of Chinese porcelain Jürgen L. Fischer lived in Ascona, located in the Swiss Canton Tessin at Lago Maggiore. The extensive size of the collection is largely owed to the family’s fortune, secured by pharmacist August Fischer and his revolutionary invention – the world’s first adhesive made from synthetic resin, the famous “Uhu Alleskleber”, developed in 1932. Jürgen L. Fischer lived until 2013 and was an avid collector of Chinese porcelain whose astonishing taste encompassed a broad spectrum of types, of all sizes and with origins spanning across millennia. Jürgen Fischer passed on his comprehensive knowledge in numerous text books – among others, his large and very instructive book about the art of Chinese snuffbottles and also an antiquarian’s guide to Chinese art.
