Sancai Tripod Plate, Tang Dynasty, 618-907 A.D., China Diameter: 24 cm (9.35 inches)
A flat-bottomed plate with gently curved cavetto and broad, flat rim with raised edge. The inside is decorated with a Persian inspired floral medallion surrounded by six lotus depictions in profile and six closed buds between them. The decoration is incised, then colored with blue, green and amber glazes that adhere well to the pattern. The rest of the plate is white and covered with a translucent, finely crackled glaze, now slightly degraded in some areas, that continues on the back to the flattened bottom. The entire piece sits on three legs of stylized lion’s paw form.

Ding Bowl with Carved Lotus Design, Northern Song Dynasty, 960-1127 AD, China Diameter: 22.2 cm
A finely potted and exquisitely carved Dingyao porcelaineous stoneware bowl with foliate form rim divided by six notches. The deep interior is decorated with a masterfully incised lotus depiction, with the main flower rising above the center well and scrolling lotus along the bottom two-thirds of the cavetto. The exterior is plain with the exception of faint turning lines and glaze pools to a viscous color typical of Northern Song Ding pieces. There is a small rim chip, slight hairline crack to the interior.
Myron and Pauline Falk collected Chinese antiquities since their honeymoon in China in the 1930’s. With an exquisite eye (and impeccable timing) they were able to amass an important collection, which they generously shared with students, scholars, and collectors in their Park Avenue apartment through the decades.

White wares from the Mary and Cheney Cowles Collection of Chinese Ceramics
The Mary and Cheney Cowles Collection of Chinese Ceramics has been quietly and judiciously assembled over the last fifty years, purchased from many of the world’s finest dealers and auctions, with an eye for artistic beauty and excellent quality. Several of the works have illustrious early 20 th century provenance, including Cunliffe, Hellner, Bernat, Falk, Yamanaka, Eskenazi, and Lally.
A selection of white wares dating from Tang to Northern Song from their collection is now on view. Of particular note is a beautifully potted and incised Northern Song, 960-1127 A.D. ding bowl with carved lotus design. Another fine example is a Tang dynasty, 618-907 AD whiteware lidded jar. The domed lid is surmounted by a lotus bud finial.
