Chinese Canton famille rose porcelain jardiniere/ planter, of hexagonal form with flared rim, exterior of basin with alternating reserves of birds among floral spray, and figural imperial court scenes, with central drain hole, nesting in conforming underplate, planter: approx 6.5"h, 11"w, 9.5"d, overall with underplate: approx 8.5"h, 11.25"w, 9 7/8"d, 7.5lbs **Provenance: From the Byram Family's Above Stratford Mansion. John Byram, a prominent Austin-based real estate developer, and his late wife Sally Byram curated this French Provincial style estate with the help of notable architects and interior designers. The home has remained untouched since Sally's untimely passing in 2006, serving as a testament to her taste for sophistication and craftsmanship**

03.17.25: In my opinion regarding LOT 2448: I note that both elements are presently intact, the cachepot comfortably nesting within the underplate, close visual and UV light examination does not reveal evidence of restoration, or hairlines/ fractures, the feet having some overall minor roughness commensurate with inherent contact/ rubbing against the underplate, the interior with debris and residue commensurate with use as a jardiniere that would benefit from a cleaning, the enameled and gilt decoration with typical minor surface wear commensurate with use
