A VERY LARGE ‘ROBIN’S EGG’ ENAMELED AND GILT PORCELAIN FIGURE OF AMITAYUS, QIANLONG TO JIAQING PERIOD 乾隆至嘉慶時期爐鈞釉描金無量壽佛坐蓮像Please note this Lot is to be sold at No Reserve. 本拍品不設底價China, 1736-1820. Heavily potted, seated in dhyanasana on a cloth draped over a rectangular plinth with a shaped recessed gilt panel above a dragon emerging from crashing waves. His hands are lowered in dhyana mudra and holding an alms bowl. He is wearing long flowing robes opening at the chest adorned with a beaded jeweled necklace. His serene face with heavy-lidded eyes, gently arched brows, a circular urna, and bow-shaped lips. His hair elegantly falling in tresses over the shoulders and piled up into a topknot surmounted by a jewel behind the foliate tiara. The cloth, base, robe, hair, and jewels enameled in robin’s egg with details picked out in turquoise and blue. The face, torso, hands, feet, tiara, and dragon gilt. Provenance: From an old German private collection, acquired in the 1970s and 80s. Thence by descent. Condition: As expected, the tips of the tiara, topknot, fingers, earrings and dragon’s horns are restored to perfection. Further with glaze recesses, flaking and abrasions. Microscopic remnants of pigment which indicate that the figure was painted at some stage. Gilt porcelain figures of such a large size are usually restored to a much wider extent, due to their fragility, and it is therefore exceedingly rare to find one in such a well-preserved state overall.Weight: 5,156 g Dimensions: Height 43.5 cmExpert’s note: Gilt porcelain figures of bodhisattva were produced from the Qianlong period onwards. The inspiration for such figures may have come from Ming dynasty bronze prototypes, such as the Xuande period gilt-bronze figure currently in the Berti Aschmann Foundation, Museum Rietberg, illustrated in On the Path to Enlightenment, Zurich, 1995, no. 72. An unmarked example, dated to the Xuande period, is in the V&A collection, no. 275&A-1898.Literature comparison: For a related example from the Malcolm MacDonald collection, no. DUROM.1969.358, and now in the Oriental Museum, University of Durham, United Kingdom, see Ireneus Legeza, A Descriptive and Illustrated Catalogue of the Malcolm MacDonald Collection of Chinese Ceramics, London, 1972, p. 122, no. 72.
