A RARE GUAN-TYPE VASE, HU, QIANLONG MARK AND PERIODChina, 1736-1795. The ovoid body supported on a thick spreading foot and tapering to a waisted flared neck, set to either side with a lion-head-form loop handle over a molded mock ring handle at the shoulder, applied overall in a thick bluish-gray glaze suffused with a bold network of steel gray and pale gold crackles stopping at the unglazed foot ring dressed in a dark brown wash in imitation of Song dynasty guan ware. The recessed base with an underglaze-blue six-character mark da Qing Qianlong nianzhi and of the period.Provenance: Swiss trade. Condition: Fine condition overall with wear and firing irregularities, shallow surface scratches, the rim with a small chip and associated minor old repair. Please request further detail images as well as a video, shot under strong blue light, for accurate documentation of the condition of the present lot.Weight: 6,002 gDimensions: Height 37 cmThe crisply molded lion-form loop handles on the present piece are striking, varying from the usual shallow applied lion-mask handles with pendent rings or the rarer elephant-head loop handles. The bold feature is a charming 18th-century innovation on a vase that in both form and glaze references two well-known early accomplishments of Chinese art: the iconic hu form derived from the great bronzes of the Shang dynasty and the rich crackled glaze of the famed Guan wares of the Southern Song dynasty. The official or Guan ware was produced for the court in the capital, Hangzhou, in Zhejiang province. Laohudong in southern Hangzhou appears to have been the most important Guan kiln creating wares with an attractive crackled glaze, a version of which is seen on the present piece. The crackle was purposefully made utilizing refined technical skill to calibrate a cooling rate for the wares that would produce the different layers of fissures and allow them to be filled with two to three different colors. The present piece with its two tones references the jinsi tiexian (gold thread and iron wire).Such a pointed allusion to the past served to both pay homage to the past while simultaneously noting the technical achievements of the present. Archaism enjoyed a major revival during the height of the Qing dynasty under the Yongzheng and Qianlong emperors. The combination of a precious glaze and ancient form suggests a deep appreciation and respect for the past, together with the want for its preservation.Auction result comparison: Type: Near-identical Auction: Sotheby's New York, 17 March 2015, lot 287 Price: USD 87,500 or approx.
