Yeap
Poh Chap 1927 -
Plate, Made in 1980, Ewhurst, Surrey, England.
Porcelain, Celadon glaze with iron brush work. Signed on the reverse
in engraved script, Yeap.
Diam.28.0 cm.
Yeap Poh Chap emulated some of the most attractive classic oriental
glazes including imperial yellow, peachbloom and tenmoku, his pattern
making as on this example plate has a genuine spontaneity, while being
totally under control. His pots have the look and feel of the Sung
Dynasty, but on looking closer one sees that they are a very contemporary
interpretation of the period.

Blanc
de Chine Guanyin
Figure, 18th Century, Fujian (dehua) China.
Porcelain, glazed in a very clear glaze.
H. 41.0.cm.
These figures of Buddhist deity's were made at Fujian ( dehua )
for over five hundred years. The most common was Guanyin goddess
of mercy. Many were exported to Europe examples can be seen in some
of the great country houses of England such as Chatsworth and Burley.
The figures were made in moulds with hands and heads made separately
and attached in the finishing process. The glaze made with the same
clay as the body is one of the most perfect fit's of any glaze,
with no sign of crazing. For me these figures have immense presence
and dignity.
