PROVENANCE:

William Worthing March (1940 - 2023) was the proud owner of a kennel club in Florida where he raised racing greyhounds in his early career. Later in life he became a jeweler and opened his own jewelry store. It was through this business that he was able to purchase from estates a collection of fine porcelains that have been consigned to us to sell at auction. During his career he had the opportunity to travel to many foreign countries also adding to his collection.

Chinese Qing Dynasty Kangxi Blue and White Porcelain Small Fish Tank Pot. Potted in small tank shape, globular body, thick potted, deep curvature, slight tall and gentle upward to wide straight short round opening lip, raised on flat round foot base. Hand painted ornamentations are rendered in white base color which contrast against blue fine color, depicted of sampan boat sailing over peace Lishui river surround with tree, flowers bloom, rocky rock and mountain, all in salubrious landscape. A characteristic heaped and piled effect, the under glaze greyish-blue concentrates in certain areas, bubbling through the surface of the glaze and turning a deep blue-black. This inadvertently gave texture, energy, and shading to the design.
