The eight lobed sides thickly enameled on clear glass in soft tones of pink, blue, yellow, red, orange, and turquoise with the attributes of the Eight Daoist Immortals (anbaxian), each tied with a ribbon and alternately suspending tassels, below a ruyi collar at the shoulder and a floral band at the neck, the concave base with a masterfully painted four-character mark Qianlong nianzhi and of the period. Of meiping form with a waisted neck rising to a slanted lip and a concave top.Provenance: Old French private estate. Condition: Superb condition with minor wear and traces of use, inherent crackling to enamels.Stopper: Blue glass cabochon with a Baltic amber collar on a black platelet, finely carved and stained spoonWeight: 50.4 gDimensions: Height including stopper,74 mm. Diameter neck 17 mm and mouth 8 mmThe bottle is a fine and interesting example of the enameled glass wares produced during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor, with a skillfully executed painting of the anbaxian, a popular Daoist motif. While it is well known that the Qianlong Emperor was a fervent follower of Tibetan Buddhism, Daoism also fell under his religious patronage. During his reign, worship took place at several Daoist altars in the palaces in Beijing and at the Yuanmingyuan. Daoist rites were equally performed as part of the Emperor’s birthday celebrations, together with Tibetan Buddhist and Chinese Buddhist rituals.The attributes of the eight Immortals symbolize Daoism, transmutation, and happiness. Each of the symbols is the attribute of one of the Eight Immortals. They include the double gourd of Li Tieguai, containing all medicines; the fan of Zhongli Quan, resurrecting the dead; the flower basket of Lan Caihe, the patron of florists and a symbol of delusive pleasure; the bamboo rod of Zhang Guo, representing old age and longevity; the lotus of He Ziangu; the sword of Lu Dongbin, ridding the world of all evil; the flute of Han Xiangsi, an emblem of harmony; and the castanets of Cao Guojiu, the patron saint of theater actors.Literature comparison: The decoration of draped tassels suspended from ruyi lappets can also be seen on a small Qianlong vase with a guyuexuan mark illustrated in Chinese Glass of the Qing Dynasty: The Robert H. Clague Collection, Phoenix, 1987, pl. 50. See also a waterpot decorated in polychrome enamels on clear ground with flowering plants and the base inscribed with a similar reign mark within a square included in Elegance and Radiance, op. cit., p. 366, pl. 145, where it is noted that the seal mark conforms to the imperial format.Auction result comparison: Compare with an enameled clear glass water pot painted with the bajixiang at Sotheby’s Hong Kong in Scholarly Works of Art from the Mary and George Bloch Collection on 23 October 2005, lot 146, sold for HKD 300,000.

Lot 3

Various ceramics to include a fine quality porcelain cachepot hand-gilded and decorated with flowers and a heavy 19th century stoneware harvest jug impressed with the name 'Caroline'The modern Spode platter decorated in yellow and blue is in good order; the 19th century transfer-decorated and tinted slop/sugar bowl does have a long hairline crack emanating from the top of the lip gong down to and reaching the upper foot rim 9cm, apart from that it appears to be in pretty good overall condition; the late 19th century Royal Doulton teapot unusually transfer decorated hand-tinted with scrolling foliage and flower heads etc. which appears to be in reasonable order for the age, some glaze crazing and some gilding rubbed, handle appears to be in good condition, it is noted that the spout end has had some restoration probably some years ago, the lid appears in good general overall condition with no signs of restoration to the loop handle on the top, the cream glazing inside is good; the 19th century pewter-mounted ceramic hot-water jug with thumbpiece which exhibits glaze crazing to the inside of the hug and also to the underside which has a darker area commensurate with age, it is noted that there is some scratching and scuffing around the bottom area of the foot, some gilding away mostly to the handle area and scratches to the red ground, pewter thumbpiece is hinged and appears original and has two splits along the rim side of the pewter although the corresponding china lip appears in reasonable condition apart from minor rim fritting to the edges; the modern hand-gilded and decorated two-handled continental cachepot in seemingly good order although dirty, the handles look good and original, the decoration is bright, the gilding is good as is the underside of the foot; the hand-painted bone-china chocolate pot in Chinese style by James Skerrett, modern but based on an 18th century design and as such in good overall general condition with no major problems either to the main baluster-shaped body or the dome-topped cover; a 19th century glazed stoneware harvest style jug decorated profusely with fruiting vine and scenes of revelry with cherubs drinking and playing instruments in high relief, the moulded handle is formed as a whippet-style dog and unfortunately has sustained a crack right through just above the lower leg section, there are some (in the Auctioneer's opinion) firing cracks associated with the decoration in relief and, although they look like hairlines, were probably caused as a result of firing, where the dog's nose and legs are affixed to the upper body there is also a one-inch crack going right along which can be seen from the outside although not from the inside, Self-evidently, the four holes indicate that it would have had some sort of cover which is now lacking, the underside of the foot is as expected with varying colours and the spout appears good, the item appears heavy in the hand and as per catalogue description has the name 'Caroline' impressed in an uneven line indicating that the letters were pressed individually.

Lot 341
