- Lot Description
East Asia, China, Qing Dynasty, ca. 19th century CE. A beautiful stacking porcelain container known as a tingkat or tiffin. The tiers are comprised of four separate bowls with short walls and flat bases in pastel hues. Each has an applied ring foot to fit into and stabilize each other when stacked. The sides have integral loops with twisted iron handles. A slightly domed lid caps the top with an iron ring handle. The designs are identical on each; scrolling foliate and vines with chrysanthemum flowers and a bird within a red border. The ground color is different for each dish; red, blue, yellow, and mint green - perhaps to differentiate the meal contained inside. Such multi-tiered containers were carried using a wooden or metal frame with a handle at the top. Tingkat allowed the server to carry multiple meals in one trip, an ingenious idea! The tingkat or tiffin was thought to originate in India; however, Chinese artisans admired the style and also made very elegant works that were sometimes too beautiful to eat from! Today tiffins and tingkats are still used to carry hot meals to customers, although those containers are not nearly as gorgeous as this elaborate ensemble! Size when stacked: 8" W x 9.25" H (20.3 cm x 23.5 cm); individual: 8" W x 2.25" H (20.3 cm x 5.7 cm)
Provenance: private Morrison, Colorado, USA collection; ex-Bill Welter collection, Scottsdale, Arizona, USA
