An important part of this collection was on permanent loan and exhibited over several decades at the Asia-Africa Museum in Geneva. The underside with several old labels, 'Art Ancien de Chine & Extrême-Orient Geneve', 'Kien-Lung 1736-1795', '434', and '4237/2'. The wood stand with two old labels, '4237/2' and 'Chine celadon XVIIIe'. Condition: Very good condition with expected old wear and some firing irregularities, an obvious larger glaze recess to the right haunch, minor nicks, one paw with a smoothened area, probably inherent to the manufacture.Weight: 711 g (excl. stand) Dimensions: Height 13.8 cm (excl. stand)With a well-carved and fitted wood stand, possibly zitan. (2)Expert's note: Guan-type or crackle-glazed figures of animals are extremely rare, with only very few other examples found in public or private collections. Most ceramic animal figures of the period were made for export, but the glaze on the present figure is much more in line with the taste of the Qing Emperors (and thus the entire court) of the 18th century.Auction result comparison: Type: Related Auction: Sotheby's London, 22 February 2022, lot 81 Price: GBP 5,292 or approx.
