A COMPLETE AND RARE SET OF SHIWAN ‘XIANGQI’ FIGURES, REPUBLIC PERIODChina, 1912-1949. Six men, all expressively carved, bearded, and with variously receding hairlines, seated on craggy rocks, all around a huge stone fashioned as a xiangqi (Chinese chess) table, with six pieces, a teapot, and two bowls on top. One man holds the ‘pao’ (cannon) piece in his hand and intensely considers his next, likely decisive move, while his opponent has a look of worry and the others are in sclerotic excitement. (7)Inscriptions: To the side of the chess table, Le zai qi zhong (‘Find Pleasure in’). To the side of one rock, Zhao. To each rock with seated figure, Guzhen (‘Old Treasures’)Provenance: English private collection.Condition: Two figures with reattached arms, some with old minor touchups and other smaller repairs. Given the many exposed areas, the large set, and its considerable age, this must still be considered as a very good condition. Weight: 6.8 kg (total)Dimensions: Height 22.5 (the largest)Xiangqi originated in China and is therefore commonly called Chinese chess in English. It represents a battle between two armies, with the object of capturing the enemy's ‘general’ piece. Distinctive features of the game include the unique movement of the ‘pao’ (cannon) piece, a rule prohibiting the generals from facing each other directly, and the ‘river’ and ‘palace’ board features, which restrict the movement of some pieces.Expert’s note: A complete set of figures of such high quality and artistic merit, with the maker clearly being a big fan of the subject game, is very rare and simply unseen on the auction market. Note the great attention to detail, with every figure showing a different, strong character, their well modeled slightly emaciated features, and the various ceramic vessels used.民國一套罕見象棋人物組 中國，1912-1949年。六個男人都留著鬍鬚，表情豐富，髮型各有不同，坐在岩石上，一側有一塊鑲有象棋盤的桌子的巨大石頭，上面有六個棋子，一個茶壺和兩個碗。 一個人手裡拿著“大砲”，思考著他的下一步棋，而他的對手顯得非常憂心，其他人則處於興奮激動中。 棋桌下石頭一側可見“樂在其中”；另一側可見“趙遙”二字。下棋者的石凳一側可見“古珍”二字。 來源：英國私人收藏. 品相：兩個人物的雙臂重新固定過，一些人進行了曾有過小修，還有其他較小的修。 考慮到許多裸露的區域，大型人物組以及其年代，該人物組的狀況算是非常好的。 重量：縂6.8公斤 尺寸：最大的高22.5 厘米 專家注釋: 如此高品質和藝術價值的完整人物組非常完整，而其製作人顯然是象棋的忠實擁護者，這在拍賣市場上是非常鮮見的。 請注意對細節的生動表現，每個人物都顯示出不同而強烈的特徵，表現出輕微的瘦弱特徵，並使用了各種陶瓷容器。
AN IMPERIAL ENAMELED WHITE GLASS ‘BOYS’ SNUFF BOTTLE, QIANLONG MARK AND PERIODChina, 1760-1780. Masterfully painted in soft enamels of imperial yellow, pink, blue, green, and turquoise on a translucent ivory-white ground with two scenes of boys at play below a ruyi-tassel border at the shoulder and neck, the recessed base with a blue-enameled four-character Qianlong nianzhi mark within a double square and of the period.Provenance: From the collection of Mary Ann Edmondson Bresee (1932-2017), Georgia, USA, avid collector and former member of the International Chinese Snuff Bottle Society. Her grandfather was Walter T. Candler, son of Asa G. Candler, the founder of the Coca-Cola Company. Her bottles were exhibited both at the Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens and the Norton Museum of Art. Collector’s label ‘LH1’ to spoon.Condition: Superb condition with some wear. Flaws in the glass include minuscule bubbles to the foot rim, partially polished off as a part of the manufacturing process. The crisp and fresh enamels with minor pitting and microscopic crackling in some areas.Stopper: Gilt bronze with incised floral decorations, black collar, and neatly carved spoonWeight: 40.7 gDimensions: Height including stopper 58 mm. Diameter neck 17 mm and mouth 6 mmFour boys are playing a game of blind man’s buff to one side and three boys are performing gymnastics to the other, each in a fenced garden. In Chinese art the depiction of young boys at play is considered a sign of good fortune, representing the blessing of having many sons to carry on the family name. The shoulders of the bottle show birds in flight amid bamboo and craggy rockwork as well as blossoming prunus and wutong behind lingbi stones. The flattened globular body rises from a short broad oval foot to a tapering neck.Of the two main Palace painted enamel arts (on glass and on metal), those on glass are the rarer. During the Qianlong reign enameled metal wares, including snuff bottles, ran into the thousands, whereas enameled glass wares were produced only in the low hundreds. A rough estimate of the total number of enameled glass snuff bottles produced during the period comes to about three hundred. This was mainly due to the greater difficulty of producing them successfully, the need for multiple firings to correctly mature different colors and layers of enamel, and the much higher failure rate during production. In the early phase of the art form, from the late Kangxi until the 1750s or early 1760s, technical control of the enamels was still marginal, and all known examples exhibit some degree of pitting or discoloration of the enamels. This continued to be a problem with some colors into the second half of the Qianlong reign. Although far from obtrusive, in the present bottle the blue enamel on some of the boys’ clothing in particular is pitted, but it is otherwise remarkably well fired.The present type of translucent, milky-white glass was frequently used as an alternative to opaque white glass within the Palace workshops and is ideally suited to the equally translucent enamels. One of the key features of Palace enamels on glass is the softness, translucency, and delicacy of much of the palette, which allows for very subtle shading and gradations of color.A distinctive feature of Qianlong painted enamels on glass is the relative thinness of the enamels and the painterly quality of the brushwork. Court artists, highly trained in the tradition of calligraphic brushwork that gave Chinese painting one of its most profound inner languages, were involved in drawing up the designs and sometimes in painting the enamels. Failing that, it was skilled enamellers trained in the same aesthetic and overseen by court artists who produced them from preparatory sketches. Artistically, these early, painterly enamels represent the apogee of glass enameling during the Qing dynasty, and the present bottle well exhibits this exceptional quality.This design is purely Chinese in its conception, without any hint of the Western influence that appears, not unnaturally, in some wares with European subjects that rely to a greater extent on the use of color and chiaroscuro rather than line to create form. The red blossoms drawn without any in the present bottle do not by that quality reflect Western influence, but rather the 'bodiless' style made famous by Yun Shouping (1633–1690), whose works would have been well known to any court artist a mere half century after the painter's death. Here, the blossoms are balanced against the other elements of the design featuring the elegant black lines of the calligrapher's brush, with well-modulated, expressive strokes.Expert’s note: The reign marks on earlier Qianlong enameled glass bottles are usually flush with the foot, in contrast to the raised blue enamel marks of the mid- to late reign as seen on the present bottle. Together with the masterful quality of the painting as well as the use of translucent glass and soft enamels, this allows us to further narrow the likely dating of this bottle to circa 1760-1770.Literature comparison: Compare a bottle in the Palace Museum, Beijing, included in Snuff Bottles, The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Hong Kong, 2003, no. 9.
