Moss，《Snuff Bottles of China》，倫敦，1971年，第143頁，編號378The poem is from the 37th chapter of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and is purportedly sung by Liu Bei, leader of the Shu-Han kingdom. Liu Bei, scion of the fallen Han dynasty wished to reunite China again together with his sworn brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. They needed the help of the reclusive scholar-strategist Zhuge Liang however, and made several visits to solicit his help. Others suggest the figure on horseback might be Huang Chengyan. Huang first appeared in chapter 37 of the novel when Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were visiting Zhuge Liang's house; see Ka Bo Tsang, 'Who is the Rider on the Donkey? Some New Observations,' ICSBS Journal, Summer 1994, pp.5-7.Another rock-crystal example by Ye Zhongsan, formerly in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art with identical scenes and dated to 1925 is illustrated by B.C.Stevens, The Collector's Book of Snuff Bottles, New York and Tokyo, 1976, pp.244-245, no.902.

A FINE AND RARE PAIR OF GREEN-GLAZED INCISED DOUBLE-GOURD VASESKangxiDensely and delicately carved on the larger lower and upper pear-shaped section of the body with large-headed tree peony in a continuous meander within curling leaf sprays, the carving of particularly attractive quality, all under a pale translucent green glaze. 44cm (17 1/2in) high. (2).Footnotes:清康熙 青釉纏枝牡丹紋葫蘆瓶一對Provenance: An American private collectionRalph M. Chait Galleries, New York, 5 May 2017A European private collection來源：美國私人收藏Ralph M. Chait Galleries，紐約，2017年5月5日歐洲私人收藏The present pair of vases is notable for its exquisite luminous green glaze, the purity of which accentuates the graceful curves of its shape. This glaze was created in imitation of Longquan celadon vases of the Southern Song and Yuan periods and reflects the penchant for early wares and the remarkable technical developments achieved at the kilns of the time.According to the 'Commemorative stele on ceramic production', compiled in 1735 by Tang Ying (1682-1756), supervisor of the Imperial kilns at Jingdezhen, several varieties of celadon glazes were experimented with at the time; see S.W.Bushell, Oriental Ceramic Art, London, 1981, p.197.The double gourd, hulu, was highly regarded in the Ming and Qing dynasties as it underscored auspicious symbolism concerning fertility and progeny, because of the large number of its seeds. It was also an important symbol of Daoism and was particularly associated with Li Tieguai, one of the Eight Immortals, who is often depicted with a double gourd at his waist containing the elixir of Immortality. In addition, the Chinese word for double gourd forms a rebus with the phrase Fulu, meaning happiness and prosperity through government positions.The shape of the present vases closely compares with a related pair of celadon-glazed 'double-gourd' vases, 18th century, which was sold at Christie's London, 8 July 2010, lot 1026.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
A VERY RARE FAMILLE VERTE MODEL OF FOREIGNERS ABOARD A SHIPKangxiBrightly glazed in red, green, aubergine and straw all over the visible areas, elaborately modelled as a junk with an aggressive fish-shaped prow, two folding Lateen masts and a flag flying from a third, a compartment with pierced windows at the stern, both sides with the muzzles of six cannons, the desk filled with four European figures wearing frock coats and wide rimmed black hats, one manning the tiller, two others standing and a fourth figure seated cross-legged. 29cm (11 1/2in) wide.Footnotes:清康熙 素三彩瓷塑帆船Provenance: an American private collection Ralph M. Chait Galleries, New York, 10 May 2016A European private collection來源：美國私人收藏Ralph M. Chait Galleries，紐約，2016年5月10日歐洲私人收藏Exceptionally detailed models of Chinese ships in enamels on biscuit are rare, and more so when including representations of Europeans and details such as cannons and partially folded sails as superbly detailed on the present lot. This model of a junk is described in a 1779 inventory on Chinese porcelain in the collection of Augustus the Strong in Dresden; see a related three-glazed model of a junk, Kangxi, illustrated by E.Ströber, Maladie de Porcelaine. East Asian Porcelain in the Collection of Augustus the Strong, Berlin, 2002, p.57.The depiction of foreigners on a boat reflects not only a growing fascination in 18th century China towards the West but the Kangxi Emperor's policy of open trade from 1684, after his consolidation of power against pirates and Ming loyalists along the coast. In dealing with the issue of overseas trade (which previous Chinese governments sometimes banned), the Kangxi Emperor supported the pursuit of profit and like many European monarchs of the day, he believed that trade — including overseas trade — benefited both state and society. On the basis of this view, in 1684, the Kangxi Emperor invited foreign merchants to bring their goods to China's ports and encouraged Chinese merchants to set out from those ports for destinations in foreign lands. More important, over the subsequent thirty years, he persisted in this open-door policy, blocking every attempt to reinstate the maritime trade ban. This re-opening of trade with the West in the Kangxi reign led to interest in foreigners: their clothes, customs and belongings, and is reflected in a number of the arts of the period. Scrolls depicting tribute bearers from foreign lands were commissioned by the Court, in which figures from various countries were shown in their different costumes. On one such hand-scroll in the collection of the Palace Museum, Beijing, many of the figures are described as being from the West and the attributes of each couple are discussed in both Chinese and Manchu; see Splendors of a Flourishing Age, Macau, 1999, no.42. See a similar famille verte model of a ship with Dutchmen, Kangxi, illustrated by A.du Boulay, Christie's Pictorial History of Chinese Ceramics, Oxford, 1984, p.289, no.10 (which sold at Christie's London, 13 July 1959). Foreigners can also be seen in blanc de-Chine wares; see for example P.J.Donnelly, Blanc de Chine, London, 1969, pl.117, and a blanc-de-Chine boat with foreigners, in ibid, pl.118.

A VERY RARE CLAIR-DE-LUNE-GLAZED BRUSHWASHER, TANGLUOXIKangxi six-character mark and of the periodThinly potted with steeply incurving wide aperture at the top, the interior and visible exterior all under a very even limpid pale lavender-blue glaze, reserved white within the short incurving foot with the mark. 11.5cm (4 1/2in) wide.Footnotes:清康熙 天藍釉筆洗青花「大清康熙年製」楷書款Provenance: Ralph M. Chait Galleries, New YorkA European private collection來源：Ralph M. Chait Galleries，紐約歐洲私人收藏Notable for its elegant form and subtle glaze colour, the present vessel is a remarkable testament to the technical advances made at the Imperial kilns in Jingdezhen at the beginning of the Qing dynasty, which saw the creation of numerous monochrome glazes. The sky-blue glaze, referred to as tianlan, was achieved by diminishing the amount of cobalt oxide in the glaze mix. Vessels covered in this delicate glaze are often very finely potted, an indication that they were probably made during the later phases of the Kangxi reign; see S.G.Valenstein, A Handbook of Chinese Ceramics, New York, 1989, p.241.Brushwashers were an essential part of the scholar's accoutrements as they enabled their owners to elegantly express their visions through ink. Throughout the Qing dynasty, small porcelain objects designed for the scholar's table were produced in two new glazes, referred to as peachbloom and clair-de-lune, fewer brush washers coated in clair-de-lune glaze appear to have been produced, compared to peachbloom-glazed examples. Compare with two similar clair-de-lune brushwashers, Kangxi marks and of the period; the first illustrated by J.Ayers, Chinese ceramics in the Baur Collecion, Geneva, 1999, p.57; and the second in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, acc.no.64.279.2.
