Palmer（1898-1970）舊藏，藏品編號187，收藏標籤「R.H.R.P 187」，並由後人保存倫敦邦瀚斯，2003年6月11日，拍品編號17Reginald Howard Reed Palmer (1898-1970), Chairman of Huntley and Palmer 1948-1963, was educated at Eton. He was Sheriff of Berkshire in 1935 when his address was Hurst Grove, near Reading. He started collecting Chinese works of art when he married in 1924, much helped by his wife, who had an equally good eye, especially for jades, and they went on to build a collection consisting of Ming and Qing porcelains, jade, ivory and lacquer. He was also an active member of the Oriental Ceramic Society and regularly lent his pieces for exhibition. Skilfully carved in low relief with the surface finished to a fine and even sheen, this vase represents the archaistic style that grew in popularity in jade carving during the Ming dynasty. The academic trend known as the 'search for evidence' (kaozheng 考證) movement began in the early 17th century. Although this movement originated in a renewed scholarly interest in ancient texts and inscriptions on archaic bronzes, as literati sought a more empirical approach to understanding their ancient heritage, it led to a greater fascination for decorative designs adopted from ancient bronzes too. The shape of the present lot derives from archaic bronze hu vessels, while the combination of decorative elements, including the taotie masks and animal-head handles, are also taken from archaic bronze motifs. For example, the intertwined dragons are reminiscent of designs found on archaic bronze wares from the Eastern Zhou dynasty, such as a facetted hu and cover, illustrated by J.So, Eastern Zhou Ritual Bronze from the Arthur M.Sackler Collections, New York, 1995, pl.37. These archaic motifs are juxtaposed with new designs, such as the stylised rendering of the creature with neatly combed and parted hair, to result in a highly original piece that suited the aesthetic and taste for things qi (奇, variably translated as 'original', 'unusual', 'marvellous' or even 'strange' and 'eccentric'). See K.P.Burnett, Dimensions of Originality: Essays on Seventeenth Century Chinese Art Criticism, Hong Kong, 2013. Vases decorated with this design are unusual and no other closely-related example appears to have been published. Compare with a slightly smaller vase of similar hu shape, decorated on the body with a taotie mask, in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in The Compendium of Collections in the Palace Museum: Jade, vol.7, Ming Dynasty, Beijing, 2011, pl.19. A creature with similarly rendered hair is found on early Ming lacquerware, as seen on a box attributed to the Yongle reign, in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Lacquer Wares of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Shanghai, 2006, pl.25.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

(2).Footnotes:Please note this Lot is to be sold at No Reserve. 本拍品不設底價清晚期 黃楊木雕太平有象Provenance: The Peony collectionSotheby's Hong Kong, 31 May 2018, lot 338Exhibited, Published and Illustrated: The Oriental Ceramic Society of Hong Kong, Art and Imitation in China, Hong Kong, 2006, no.50.來源：牡丹堂舊藏香港蘇富比，2018年5月31日，拍品編號338展覽著錄：《馳騁古今：中國藝術的摹仿與創新》，香港東方陶瓷學會，香港，2006年，編號50The present lot is replete with auspicious meaning. The 'vase' (ping 瓶) carried by the foreigner which puns with 'peace' (ping 平), and elephant (xiang 象) which also means 'sign' or 'portent', forms a rebus for the phrase taiping youxiang (太平有象), meaning 'Where there is peace, there is an omen (or elephant!)'. Furthermore, the figures on top, being elephant-riders (qixiang, 騎象) form a rebus for jixiang, 吉祥, 'blessings'. The boys interpreted here as the Twin Immortals, the Hehe Erxian, symbolic of harmony and union, lend good wishes for a happy marriage, suggesting that perhaps the group was intended as a wedding gift.
