Lot 163
A rare Chinese Export part dinner and tea service, Qianlong, circa 1755, each piece with the arms of the Taswell family, in bright enamels and gilding, comprising: sixteen octagonal dinner plates 23cm diameter; seven octagonal soup bowls, 23cm diameter; four small octagonal plates, 16cm; a large canted rectangular serving dish, 40.5cm diameter; another smaller, 29.5cm diameter; three smaller serving dishes, each approximately 25.5cm diameter; a soup tureen stand, 36.5cm diameter; a tea cannister and cover, 12.5cm high; a sugar bowl, 14cm diameter; two two-handled cups, a tea bowl, three saucers and a coffee cup (42) Provenance:By descent through the Taswell Family since 1755The Taswell family had been merchants in the City of London from Elizabethan times. The Reverend Dr William Taswell (1652-1731), who in 1666, had been page to the Dean of Westminster and witnessed the Great Fire of London and later wrote a vivid account of the event. This Chinese armorial service was made c.1755 for Dr Taswell's son, William Taswell (1708-1777), Rector of Wotton-under-Edge in Gloucestershire. In his will dated 3rd October, 1775, he specifies that "all such China in my possession as shall be found marked with my family's arms" was to go to his son George Taswell, at the time serving the East India Company in India as Colonel of 'The Madras Terribles'. A full copy of the Will can be seen in the National Archives at Kew, National Archives: PROB-11-1012-26 George in turn left "the whole of the China ware on which are the arms of the family" in his own will in 1814 to his surviving younger son George Morris Taswell (1784-1868). Such specific contemporary records of Chinese armorial porcelain are exceedingly rare. George Morris Taswell left Madras and settled in Kent with his new wife, Anne Gipps of a Canterbury family, who he married in 1813 in St Martins, Canterbury, where he was later buried in 1868. This substantial part of the Taswell armorial service is being sold by a direct descendant of George Morris Taswell and is on the market for the first time in its history.

Carson (died 1949) Tatiana Carson (née Staheyeff, died 1981) Peter Thomas Staheyeff Carson (1938-2013)by family descent Sold with an accompanying original letter, dated 27th June and the original envelope, addressed to Mr Joseph B. Carson, from the Imperial Ministry of the Household at the Forbidden City. The letter thanks Mr Carson, then secretary to H.B.M, Legation, Peking, for his assistance in fighting the fire at the Jianfu Palace Garden complex in the Forbidden City on the 27th June [1923]. At the time Mr and Mrs J Carson, recently married, were dancing at a party on the roof of the Grand Hotel when they saw a red glare light up the night sky to the north. The Carson's and Irene Staheyeff (Tatiana Carson's sister) hurried to the eastern gate of the palace and when access was eventually granted at about 2.50am were swept along with the fire engines into the Forbidden Palace. The fire raged and the Jianfu Palace garden complex was destroyed, and the area lay as rubble until a major restoration project was completed in 2005. In addition to his special thanks, the Emperor commanded that Mr Carson be presented with four porcelain vases and four bowls, detailed in an accompanying hand written list, of which this vase forms one of the original four vases described. Also, with various Republican period business cards; an invitation from the President of the Republic of China dated May 2nd and an ink inscribed printed fan signed, 'Henry, To Mrs Carson in recognition of her help at the Palace fire on June 26-7, 1923.' It is believed Mr and Mrs Carson knew Puyi as 'Henry', the name the Emperor chose as his given name, and he was known as Henry Puyi in the West.For a more detailed account of the fire, including a photograph of Tatiana Staheyeff (later Carson) and Lucy Alston in Peking, circa 1921-1922, see May Holdsworth, The Palace of Established Happiness: Restoring a Garden in the Forbidden City, 2008, pages 24-25.清宣统 "大清宣统年制"款窑变釉双耳壶（附内务府信函及溥仪签名折扇）拍品来源：英国驻民国二等参赞高尔森家族旧藏。1923年6月27日，高尔森先生及夫人于建福宫大火事件时于紫禁城附近参加一个聚会，发现紫禁城着火后便参与灭火，溥仪着内务府于火灾后作为谢礼，赠送高尔森家族四件瓷瓶及瓷盘（附内务府手书信函及清单），该瓷瓶便为当时的一件。Condition Report: Shallow chips to the foot rim, otherwise in very good conditionfine hair crack to one handle 2 cm long Condition Report Disclaimer

A Magnificent Chinese Imperial blue-glazed silver and gilt 'Bat and Crane' vase, Tianqiuping, seal mark and period of Qianlong, the superbly potted globular body surmounted by a columnar neck, delicately enamelled in bright gold and silver on the body with bats and flying cranes holding the 'Eight Daoist Emblems' [anbaxian] amidst clouds, the neck interior turquoise, the base with underglaze blue six-character seal mark on a white ground, approximately 61.5cm high and 42cm wideProvenance:Private collection, believed purchased 1988-1993 by a surgeon based in the Midlands, UK.By descent to his heirs.The current vase is a magnificent example of Imperial Qianlong porcelain. The name of this shape of vase in Chinese is tianqiuping, 'heavenly globe vase', as in Chinese iconography heaven is a sphere. Hence, the large globular body of such vases provides an ideal reference to heaven. The vase is remarkable for its highly unusual enamelling techniques with a striking and exceptionally rare palette of gold and silver against a vivid blue ground, which gives the vase a brilliance of tone. The rich cobalt blue seen on the current vase is sometimes referred to as 'sacrificial blue'. This name derives from the use of vessels bearing this colour glaze during sacrifices at the Imperial Altar of Heaven. It is extremely unusual to see blue vases painted in both gilding and slightly raised silver. The rarity of painted silver on porcelains suggests that the medium may have been difficult to control. An example of a moon flask with similar technique is on display at the Shanghai Museum. This vase is a testament to the creativity of craftsmen working during the Qianlong period in exploring and perfecting enamelling techniques to cater to the emperor's taste for the innovative and the exotic while remaining rooted in antiquity. Such a vase would require at least three firings in the kiln for the three different glazes and enamels. First at over 1200℃ for the cobalt blue, then at a lower temperature for the turquoise green on the interior of the vase, finally the gold and silver enamels in a special kiln designed for enamels. T'ang Ying succeeded Nien His-yao as Commissioner at Huai An and Superintendent of the Imperial Factories in 1736. He is recorded as overseeing the making of enamelled silver (mio yin), see Soame Jenyns, Later Chinese porcelain, p. 64. The author further states, 'One of the most remarkable features of the ceramics of the Qianlong period was the virtuosity of their copies of other materials, which includes 'gold' and 'enamelled silver', p.67. However, no other tainquiping decorated with the same subject in gold and silver appears to have been published. The exceptional quality, monumental size, and imposing presence of the current tianqiuping, as well as its fine and auspicious decoration, would have rendered it suitable for prominent display in one of the halls of the Qing palace. As a devout Buddhist, the Qianlong Emperor was also a follower of Daoism with the wish for long life. We can see the sliver cranes holding an emblem for each of the eight immortals associated with Daoism - including a flower basket, a flute, a fan and castanets - on the vase's body. The flying cranes and bat also carry auspicious messages for longevity and prosperity. Compare with a Famille Rose tianqiuping vase with a similar design, in the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, object number 1989.49 and another Famille Rose tianqiuping, with flying bats amidst clouds, from the court collection at the Palace Museum, museums accession number gu00154670. A moon flask with the combined silver and gold decoration was sold at Sotheby's Paris 23rd June 2016, lot 100. 清乾隆 "大清乾隆年制"款霁蓝釉金银彩暗八仙福寿连绵图天球大樽拍品来源：英国外科医生私人收藏，其购于上世纪八十年代并由家族继承 Condition Report: hair crack to rim approximately 10cm long running vertically down neck from rimsome wear to gildingsome oxidization to silversurface scratches the foot rim is slightly uneven so on a flat surface there is a very slight movement if one rocks the vasethere are two surface marks which could be scratches or fine cracks on the body of the vase and it is difficult to be certain but we think probably just surface scratches but we advise personal examination inside of neck with old dirtCondition Report Disclaimer
