A MAGNIFICENT CHINESE "LANTERN" VASE probably made under the direction of Tang Ying with decoration in underglaze blue, copper red and passages of anhua, the neck with bands of blossoming prunus, flowers on a cellular ground and bamboo shoots over a continuous mountainous landscape shrouded in clouds and mist, with buildings, trees, waterfalls, a bridge and figures on a boat, the tallest peak with two "impressed" characters and the base with the seal mark of Qianlong and of the period, 18?" (47cm) high. See illustrationProvenance: Possibly Embley Park, Hampshire, the family home of Florence Nightingale. Private Collection, The Isle of Purbeck, Dorset. This Vase has been in the vendor`s family for at least 50 years. The use of copper red and the masterly execution of the continuous landscape suggests that this outstanding vase was manufactured in the imperial kilns under the direction of Tang Ying during the early years of Qianlong`s reign. The painterly manner in which the landscape is rendered is reminiscent of the work of Wang Hui (1632-1717), who played a key role both in reinvigorating past traditions of landscape painting and in establishing the stylistic foundations for the Imperially sponsored art of the Qing court. Indeed, the decoration on this vase may be derived from his master work - the series of twelve monumental scrolls depicting the Kangxi Emperor`s Southern Inspection Tour of 1689. A blue and white lantern vase painted with deer and crane amongst rockwork and pine trees from the Qing Court Collection is illustrated in "Blue and White Porcelain with Underglazed Red (III) - The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum" Beijing, 2000, vol.36, no. 135. Another was included in the exhibition of "Imperial Perfection, Chinese Palace Porcelain of the Three Great Emperors", at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, Minneapolis, 2004. (Illustrated in the accompanying book as no. 27). Another lantern vase with extensive underglaze copper-red decoration is with Marchants. This unmarked vase is dated by them to the Yongzheng period.
