ZD87 Late Ming Swatow Blue And White Deep Dish

A Highly Decorative Large Late Ming Swatow Blue And White Deep  Dish, The Well Painted With Confronted Dragons, The Cavetto With Horses And The Rim With Alternating Panels Of Dancers And Islamic Script.

415mm Diameter x 98mm High.

Wan Li, Circa 1600.

The Islamic Script Indicating This Dish Was Made For Export To SE Asia To One Of The  Ruling Sultans, Possibly To Aceh At The Western End Of Sumatra. 

A Shallow 90mm Hair Line Rim Crack, Resonant To The Touch, Typical Encrusted Base. Fortunately Not Crazed Which Is Often The Case. 

Current Scholarship Has Established That Swatow, The Name Of The Port From Which These Wares Were Allegedly Exported, Is Not In Fact The Origin Of This Ware But The Designation Persists. Zhangzhou Would Be More Apt.

Swatow Ware Was Never Exported To Europe. The Indonesians However Value It Highly, It Being Passed Down Through The Generations As A Prized Heirloom. The Dutch, Also, Through Their Long Trading Association With Indonesia, Are Very Familiar With Swatow Ware And Appreciate This Less Refined Porcelain Of The Late Ming Dynasty.

Very Interesting Woman - This Her Wikipedia Entry

Moody was born in Whangarei, New Zealand on 18 March 1907, the second of six children of John Munro Wilson and Mildred Carrick Proude. Her mother was a talented pianist and loved to sketch, and encouraged her children to develop their talents.

Moody attended Palmerston North Girls' High School, where she showed signs of talent with drawing — the 1925 school magazine contained two of her sketches.[1] After finishing school, Moody worked in Palmerston North as a commercial artist and continued to study art with lessons from Harry Richardson.

In the mid-1930s, Moody moved to Christchurch and became head of advertising for the central city department store Ballantynes. There she met other artists such as Rita Angus and Louise Henderson, and took lessons in etching from Dorothy Turner.

In 1941, Moody joined the British YWCA War Service and worked closely with the director of welfare for the Far East, fellow New Zealander Jean Begg.[

 Moody spent seven years in England, Egypt, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and India setting up residential, recreation and welfare clubs for servicewomen. In 1946 she worked in Japan to open clubs for women of the British Commonwealth Occupation Forces, including a Muriel Wilson hostel.

After a year in Sydney, Australia, receiving treatment for tuberculosis, Moody returned to New Zealand and married public servant Clive Robert Moody, known as Bob Moody, in 1949. They settled in Days Bay, near Wellington, where Moody set up kilns and began to specialise in pottery. In the 1950s she attended ceramics classes at the Petone technical college with Wilf Wright, June Black, Mary Hardwick-Smith, Lee Thompson, Roy Cowan and Juliet Peter.

Moody died on 24 December 1991 at Lower Hutt Hospital. Her works of art are held in various private collections in New Zealand, Britain, Switzerland and the United States, as well as in several New Zealand galleries and institutions such as the Dowse Art Museum and the Suter Art Gallery. In addition, a stylised cross of ceramic tiles constructed by Moody is displayed on an exterior wall of the Barber Memorial Chapel at Samuel Marsden Collegiate School in Karori, Wellington.

In 2015, some of her pottery was included in the 50th anniversary exhibition of New Zealand Potters, entitled "Flora Christeller & Friends - A Retrospective Exhibition".

Heaps Of Material On Flaxman On Line - Here Is A Snippet.

John Flaxman was born in York and grew up in London where he studied sculpture at the Royal Academy Schools from 1770.
There, he became close friends with William Blake and Thomas Stothard. Flaxman was fascinated with ancient myth and literature from an early age and his work exemplifies the age of neoclassicism in Britain. In 1775 he began designing decorative figures for the Wedgwood pottery factory, showing an early willingness to adapt his art to the requirements of commerce and decoration.

In 1787 Flaxman embarked on a journey to Rome (with financial help from Wedgwood). He stayed for seven years, during which time he emerged as a major international figure. In Italy Flaxman found patrons willing to commission large and unconventional sculptures such as The Fury of Athamas (1790-94, National Trust), a subject from Ovid’s Metamorphoses.

It was also in Italy that Flaxman was commissioned to illustrate the works of Dante, Homer and Aeschylus. Many of his original drawings for these scenes are now in the RA collection. Flaxman’s illustrations were etched by Tommaso Piroli and sold in printed form and it was to these, more than his sculpture, that he owed his success overseas.
No British sculptor before Henry Moore enjoyed a greater international reputation than Flaxman.
