Lot 104
A Chinese ivory tsun, or other vessel, with three zoomorphic heads and six legs; 9cm high and 6.5cm diameter; the flaring neck with Qianlong four-character mark (da Qing Qianlong) beside a further three-character mark; Qing Dynasty with fitted wood stand (2)Provenance: The Property of a Lady, collected by her Great Aunt prior to the Second World War.The shape here was presumably intended as a reminder of the ritual bronzes that are now dated to about the 11th Century BC. This was the moment in China's bronze production which saw stylised heads of rams, birds, owls and mythological animals incorporated into the designs of zun, you, lei or jia. William Watson in 'The Arts of China to AD900' argues for the zun as 'a wider version of the hu', concluding that the shapes established at the time of the Shang formalised a convention which 'may be termed heiratic' (page 26 op.cit above, refers). Here perhaps is the reason for a similar form of vessel from the Qing, bearing the four-character mark of The Qianlong Emperor. Condition Report Please note that there are some areas of damage to this vessel which includes areas of cracking, wear and loss of detail.

Chinese silversmiths created elaborately decorated objects for international clients and their early works were intended to reproduce objects in European styles. However, in copying the European style the Chinese artisans later managed to add their own Chinese motifs such as bamboo, blossoms, landscapes, dragons and the Chinese court. All Chinese silver was made by hand, with its elaborate designs hammered out by master Chinese craftsmen. Many of the earlier Chinese silver pieces have ended up in museums, making it a challenge to find for collectors who have now become interested in the field.
