Traditionally in China, glass was a relatively non-essential material, used for decorative and ritual purposes, and was not commonly accessible to Chinese people until the early twentieth century. The change of status for glass - from a minor material to a functional material for making vessels, lenses, and windows - occurred in the late 17th century, when glassware and scientific instruments from Europe inspired Emperor Kangxi to establish his own glass workshop under the supervision of European missionaries, whom brought the Venetian technology to China. “喜鹊与李子”玻璃花瓶，仿同治款及可能时期 中国，晚清至民国 IMPORTANT NOTICE: *This lot is under temporary importation.

A LARGE PRESENTATION EMBROIDERED SILK WALL HANGING FOR A 91ST BIRTHDAY APOCRYPHALLY DATED TO THE 60TH YEAR OF THE REIGN OF EMPEROR KANGXI (1721) CHINA, POSSIBLY 19TH CENTURY A single rectangular shaped gauze silk panel richly embroidered with a lengthy inscription, giving a clear rendition of Confucian values, dated to a ‘康熙六十年’, i.e. the 60th year of Kangxi Emperor reign and bearing seals, one potentially reading ‘楊笆X除’, likely the name of the maker or the author of the calligraphy, a so-called ‘Chú’. The central panel, bearing the principal calligraphy, is circumscribed by another rectangle panel, embroidered with one hundred stylized variations of the shou character standing for a long life, then by a further rectangle with numerous characters, including officials and daoist immortals, and finally with another rectangle adorned with numerous auspicious daoist objects, emblems and beasts. 271 x 407 cm Notes: 1. When made for court personages, government officials, or other members of the aristocracy, commemorative hangings proclaiming meritorious service, major birthdays, or anniversaries could be spectacular objects. The dedicatory inscriptions are typically dated, while the figural imagery relating to family history is Confucian in nature. Taoist emblems connoting long life are also a standard part of the decoration. This hanging celebrates the 91st birthday of an important person. Major birthday celebrations in China were held at 60, 70, and 80 years of age. Prominent writers and calligraphers were typically recruited by the family to compose the actual verse. In that case, the author’s name may be deciphered as ‘Chú’ (‘除’). 2.
