- Lot Description
Qing Dynasty, Qianlong period, centered with the arms of Ramsay and inscribed "NIL. TIM. E.", corresponding to the motto "Nil Time", 2-3/8 x 16-1/2 x 14-1/8 in.
Provenance: Property from a Historic South Carolina Plantation
Note: Chinese export armorial porcelains bearing the arms of Ramsay have been known and illustrated first in David Sanctuary Howard, Chinese Armorial Porcelain, London, 1974, Vol. I, p. 484, p. 20, with a spearhead border, and later Howard illustrates another example, bearing the same arms but painted differently and bearing a grisaille and gilt scroll band border in David Sanctuary Howard, Chinese Armorial Porcelain, Chippenham, 2003, Vol. II, p. 185, G4. The arms on the present example, with a large unicorn crest and inscribed ribbon on top, appear to be related closer to the source of the example illustrated in Vol. II. However the present example with ribbon festoons and an unfurling scroll appears to not yet be recorded.
