A RARE AND EXTREMELY LARGE PAIR OF MOULDED FAMILLE ROSE 'WU SHUANG PU' VASESLate Qing DynastyEach vase of baluster form and decorated in mirror image, the body of each finely moulded and painted with the four historical figures Liu Chen, An Min, Dong Fangshou and Yue Fei, the shoulders moulded with the Hehe twins on one side, and the Star Gods Cai and Zi, all against a yellow sgraffito ground set with flowering stems, the shoulders set with elephant head handles suspending a fixed ring, stylised lappets around the foot, the rim with a key-scroll band above a pendent ruyi head border.124cm (48 3/4in) high (2).Footnotes:清晚期 粉彩模印無雙譜人物圖瓶 一對Vases of this massive scale were first produced in the late 17th and 18th Centuries for export to the West where they graced the doorways of European palaces and stately homes. At the time they were typically referred to as 'soldier' or 'dragoon' vases, a name thought to derive from a historical incident in 1717 when Augustus the Strong of Saxony is said to have traded 600 cavalrymen, known as dragoons, for a collection of 150 Chinese porcelain vases in negotiations with Frederick the Great of Prussia. It is therefore fitting that the famous general Yue Fei (1103-1142) has been selected for inclusion on the body of these 'soldier' vases, along with Liu Chen (220-265), prince of Beidi also depicted in military garb. The other two figures are the official and courier of Emperor Wu Dong Fangshuo (154-93 BC) and stone mason An Min (1050-1125).The figures are taken from the Wu shuang pu compiled by Jin Guliang during the mid-17th century. The manual describes forty peerless heroes from the Han to Song dynasties. The descriptive texts reproduced over the body of the vase are also taken from the woodblock printed manual. The text became a popular source of inspiration for famille rose porcelain of the late Qing period. Vases of the subject on this scale are known, for example, a pair of vases 131cm high depicting scenes from Wu Shuang pu was sold Bonhams Knightsbridge, Asian Art, 9 May 2022, lot 152. However, the moulded detail and craftsmanship of the present vase ranks high above other known examples of the subject.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

AN IRON RED AND GILT DECORATED POWDER BLUE GROUND BOTTLE VASE19th centuryDecorated with a descending serpentine dragon facing a carp leaping from foaming waves, hardwood stand. 45cm (17 3/4in) high. (2).Footnotes:十九世紀 礬紅彩描金灑藍地長頸瓶The following sixty lots celebrate the creative invention employed by Chinese artists and artisans in the depiction of the animal kingdom. From the solemn majesty of an Imperial dragon to the quiet grace of a domestic cat, animals are everywhere in Chinese art. They are embroidered into robes, painted onto porcelain vases and carved into wooden brush pots. Although they are often considered as decorative elements, they also have meanings in their own rights. The twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac are each considered to embody certain human characteristics with a different animal for each year following a twelve month cycle.The pronunciation of other animals form rebuses with traditional sayings which confer auspicious associations with events or themes, such as quails' association with the new year and elephants' association with peaceful times. The five-clawed dragon and phoenix are symbols of the Chinese Emperor and Empress and ubiquitous in Imperial Chinese art. For officials of lower ranks, rectangular badges sewn into their garments depict specific animals, each denoting their status.The works provide a journey through a range of media across several thousand years of Chinese history at times personifying human feeling and at others helping connect collectors and connoisseurs to the natural world.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
