The lotus blossoms are spread elegantly across the bulbous body of the vase, giving a grounded weight to the body in contrast to the lighter slender neck. Such detailed and expert workmanship is typical of the finest craftsmanship produced at the workshops of the late Ming metal workers who sometimes signed their work, such as Hu Wenming, Zhu Chenming and Wu Daolong and this strongly suggests that the present lot should be included within the canon of their work: see the discussion of the stylistic elements of Hu Wenming's work by U.Hausmann, 'Later Chinese Bronzes, In Search of Later Bronzes', published by Sydney Moss Ltd., Documentary Chinese Works of Art: In Scholars' Taste, London, 1983, pp.230-238. It is notable, however, that the present vase is of unusually large size, compared to the typically smaller items intended for scholarly use produced at these leading Ming workshops.The present lot is related to a smaller parcel-gilt vase illustrated by G.Tsang and H.Moss, Arts from the Scholar's Studio, Hong Kong, 1986, pp.240-241, no.230, and inscribed on the base 'Hu Wenming zuo'. Compare also a parcel-gilt box and cover with similar lotus to the present lot, signed Zhu Chenming and dated 16th/17th century, illustrated by R.Kerr, Later Chinese Bronzes, London, 1990, p.54, no.42. Hu Wenming (circa 1560-1620) from Yunjian (present-day Songjiang) in the vibrant cultural and economic hub known as Jiangnan, was one of the most celebrated late Ming metalworkers. The master and his workshop were particularly known for creating pieces with glittering gilt, intricate designs, and for the use of silver-wire inlay. The anonymous author of the Ming dynasty Yunjian zazhi (Yunjian Records) comments admiringly on the skill, elegance and desirability of Hu's work, and the high prices his pieces commanded; see R.Kerr, ibid., p.52.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The decoration depicted on the vessel is highly auspicious: the peony, symbol of royalty and virtue, was also referred to as the 'flower of wealth and honour; blooming in the colder months, the prunus is symbolic of fortitude, while camellias underscore wishes for a happy marital union.Compare with a related cloisonné fanghu vase, 16th century, from the National Palace Museum, Taipei, illustrated in Enamel Ware in the Ming and Ch'ing Dynasties, 1999, no.22.
