Chinese Blue and White Box and Cover with pierced lid, late C20th
A Chinese Blue and White Box and Cover, possibly intended as an incense burner, of rounded form, the base decorated in underglaze blue with panels of dragons and flames on a diaper ground above a band of stylised waves and the lid similarly decorated with piercing to the surface, the underneath with a broad flat foot rim. The paste of the foot and style of the decoration suggest later twentieth century work and some examples are found with an affixed label which reads ‘Andrea by Sadek’.The Charles Sadek Import Company was founded in 1936 by the father and son Charles and Norman Sadek and began by importing decorative items from Japan later broadening their range to a wider variety of suppliers including China. These pieces were sold under the ‘Andrea by Sadek’ brand, named after Norman's daughter Andrea. The business continued to a third generation until it was taken over by Fitz & Floyd in 2015.
This box, then, is a typical example of their range of wares, good quality decorative items marketed at an affordable price. The quality of these boxes can vary and this piece seems to be an above average example.
