About the Item
An extremely rare and wonderful set of two blue-and-white Chinese export porcelain graduated platters of large size from the famous "Cabot-Perkins" service commissioned in 1812. The underglaze deep blue "Fitzhugh" pattern variant on white porcelain oval body having trellis pattern border surrounding field with peony and foliate sprays around central pagoda in landscape. Sizes: 20.25" x 17.5" and 18.82" x 16.13".
Made for the 1812 wedding of Doctor Samuel Cabot and Elizabeth Perkins of Boston, Massachusetts and believed to have been ordered by Thomas Perkins, the bride's father and prominent China Trader, this service is unique in displaying the pagoda motif, probably inspired by the Whampoa Pagoda, a Ming dynasty structure on the Pearl River that was an iconic landmark for American, English, and European China traders. These exceptional and exceptionally rare platters are the largest of the set and are now offered for the first time, having remained in the family until now. The last other pieces known to have been offered publicly were from a January 28th, 2013 Christie's New York "English Pottery and Chinese Export Art" sale, lot 459, which consisted of a fruit bowl and six soup bowls, all with condition faults, that brought $18,750.
Provenance: Through his heirs, the estate of distinguished Boston lawyer and author Charles Pelham Curtis (1891-1959), a direct descendent of the Cabot-Perkins family.

Located in Kinderhook, NY
A museum calibre circa 1610 blue and white Chinese 'Kraak' charger or shallow bowl of massive scale, the round cavetto molded body with slightly scalloped flat rim boldly and exquisitely painted in vibrant underglaze blue with flowering peach, peony, and scroll-filled basket with protruding roots on a fenced terrace within an eight pointed scalloped medallion with ruyi-heads separating panels of starburst-lattice and fish-roe diaper, the rim with Rinaldi 'Border VII.2' having eight radiating panels filled with peach-sprays and auspicious symbols alternating with narrow swastika and tassel panels, the reverse painted with large 'ogival' or round panels with fungus and dots alternating with narrow panels containing stylized lingzhi motifs. An exceptionally fine example with the added rarity of an intact period (likely trader's or merchant's) wax seal.
