Full title: A rare Chinese semi-eggshell famille rose 'rooster' tea cup and saucer, Baiyun Shanren 白雲山人 seal mark, YongzhengDescription:Dia.: 11,5 cm (the saucer)Dia.: 7 cm - H.: 4 cm (the cup) A composite motif of a cockerel and peony represents wealth and success. The first character of the term cockerel in Chinese gong ji is a homophone of the first character of gong ming (official position), and the peony has long been associated with nobleness since the Tang dynasty. Provenance:- An important American private collection. Ref.: - The British Museum, inv. no. PDF A.835, for a set of twelve tea cups and saucers of the same design and measurements and with the same seals, where they are on display.

C.1071 & A-1917, for a set which also bears a cyclical date Jiazhen corresponding to 1724, where it is on display.

AN IMPERIAL RUBY-RED GROUND 'BLOSSOMING PRUNUS' KESI ROBE, CHINA, 18TH CENTURYExpert's note: Plum blossoms on a ruby-red ground is an Imperial decor type that is extremely rare, highly coveted, and already found on important objects dating from the late Kangxi reign, and of course the Yongzheng period (see literature comparison below). There are no notable comparisons found for the present robe, a fact that leads us to the conclusion that this is likely a rather early example, dating from the 18th century.Finely worked with innumerable floral heads and buds picked out in shades of salmon, green, and white against a red ground, interspersed with butterflies in various hues, the sleeves, collar, and hem in light blue piping. To the side and sleeves, ten fabric loops to secure the robe. Further to the sides, several molded beads in imitation of jade with green lacquer coating and stylized shou characters in high relief.Provenance: An important American collection of Chinese robes, and thence by descent within the family.Condition: Excellent condition with only little wear, very minor stains, and a few loose threads.Dimensions: Length 136 cm, Width 160 cm (across sleeves) Literature comparison:Compare the closely related composition and theme of the robe to an imperial famille-rose enameled copper and gold 'blossoming prunus' snuff bottle, from the celebrated collection of Mary and George Bloch, sold at Bonhams Hong Kong, 28 November 2011, lot 166. Described as one of the most spectacular and intriguing of all Kangxi palace snuff bottles, the bottle is not only striking for its continuous design as opposed to panels of decoration surrounded by formalized floral designs, but also its ruby-red ground, similar to our robe. Also compare the precise renderings of bold branches of plum blossoms in various stages of blooming to an imperial Qing court snuff bottle in the Palace Museum collection. Finally compare a Yongzheng bowl decorated with plum blossom on a ruby ground at Christie's Hong Kong, 30 November 2016, Important Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art, lot 3218. 十八世紀寶石紅地緙絲梅花紋緙絲常服寶石紅地，各色桃花與花蕾，點綴著各色蝴蝶，袖子、領子和下擺採用淺藍色滾邊。 側面和袖子上有十個織物環來固定長袍。 側面還有幾顆仿玉模製珠子，塗有綠漆，並帶有高浮雕風格的壽字。專家注釋：紅地梅花是一種極其罕見、備受推崇的宮廷裝飾類型。早在康熙晚期，當然還有雍正時期的重要器物上就已經發現了（參見下面的文獻比較）。目前的長袍沒有發現顯著的比較，這一事實使我們得出這樣的結論：這可能是一個相當早期的例子，可以追溯到十八世紀。 來源：美國一位中國長袍鑑賞家和收藏家的私人收藏，在同一家族保存至今。 品相：狀況極佳，只有很少的磨損、非常輕微的污漬和一些鬆動的線頭。 尺寸：長136 厘米, 寬160 厘米 (兩袖之間)文獻比較： 比較非常相近的銅鍍金胎畫琺瑯紫地白梅圖鼻煙壺，Mary and George Bloch收藏，售於香港邦瀚斯，2011年11月28日，lot 166。該鼻煙壺被譽為康熙宮廷鼻煙壺中最壯觀、最耐人尋味的鼻煙壺之一，其引人注目的不僅在於其連續的設計，而不是被造型花卉圖案包圍的裝飾板，而且其底色為寶石紅色，類似於我們的鼻煙壺。比較梅花開枝鼻煙壺，收藏於故宮博物院藏清宮鼻煙壺。比較一件寶石紅地梅花紋雍正款，見香港佳士得，2016年11月30日，《Important Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art》，lot 3218

AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE IMPERIAL ENAMELED COPPER HANDWARMER, QIANLONG MARK AND PERIODChina, (1736-1795). Each side of the vessel is painted intricately with long tailed birds and butterflies in ornate gardens with rockwork, shrubs and flowers, within pink kuilong-bordered panels surrounded by peony, prunus, and lotus blossoms, all reserved on a pale lilac ground, the neck with a key-fret band.The pierced copper-repousse lid is finely enameled and gilt with a central shou character in openwork among colorful clouds, the sides with shaped panels enclosing floral splays reserved against a brocade diapered ground. To the short sides, movable and hinged gilt-bronze overhanging handles.The interior with rich turquoise enamel. The recessed base with a six-character seal mark in blue enamel da Qing Qianlong nianzhi and of the period.Provenance: From a private estate in Belgium, formerly in the collection of Paul Doumer. The base inscribed with an old collector's number '196.' Joseph Athanase Doumer (1857-1932), commonly known as Paul Doumer, was the President of France from 13 June 1931 until his assassination on 7 May 1932. He was Governor-General of French Indochina from 1897 to 1902, and successfully lobbied the French government to approve construction of the Indochina-Yunnan railway in 1898. He served as Minister of Finance of France three times and as President of the French Senate from 1927 until the 1931 presidential election, which he won.Condition: Absolutely original and unrestored condition. Only minor old wear and expected manufacturing irregularities. Minor losses to enamels, mostly on the cover. Slight warping, light scratches, and a few fine and hardly visible hairlines. The condition is very well visible on the images, with no hidden damages whatsoever. The bronze fittings with a good natural patina. Overall exceptionally well preserved, especially given its age, fragility and rarity.Weight: 526 gDimensions: Length 14 cm Expert's note: Without question a masterpiece of Chinese 18th century enameling, this handwarmer exemplifies the softness and elegance achieved on the finest of enameled copper wares produced at the Palace workshops during the first half of the Qianlong reign. The delicacy in the use of the enamels is a key feature of the Palace workshops, allowing for considerable subtlety of expression. The brilliant, more opaque enamels used for the decorative borders in contrast to the softer main subject, demonstrate the range of possibilities available to Court artists. Of the two main Palace painted enamel arts (on glass and on copper), those on copper are more frequent. During the Qianlong reign enameled copper wares, including snuff bottles, ran into the thousands, whereas enameled glass wares were produced only in the low hundreds. Handwarmers, however, were never produced in glass, and therefore must be considered as exceedingly rare, although made from copper.A rough estimate of the total number of enameled copper handwarmers produced during the Qianlong reign comes to less than one hundred, of which only few remain in private hands to this day. This is mainly due to the greater difficulty of producing them successfully, the need for multiple firings to correctly mature different colors and layers of enamel, and the much higher failure rate during production, due to the complex firing and re-firing process necessary to create the enameled openwork copper-repousse cover. It was probably for this reason that the Imperial records also show that the Emperor only rarely distributed enameled openwork copper wares as gifts, preferring to keep most of them for Imperial use, while gifts of standard enameled metal wares were apparently quite frequent.Literature comparison: Compare a closely related enamel handwarmer, also with a Qianlong mark and of the period, 14 cm long, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 24.80.473a, b.

A RARE FAMILLE ROSE RUBY-PINK ENAMELED PETAL-LOBED BOWL, YONGZHENG PERIODChina, 1723-1735. The deep rounded sides supported on a short foot with a row of petals rising to a lobed rim. The interior is finely enameled with a single peony spray. A soft ruby pink glaze covers the exterior stopping neatly at the foot. The base is covered in a transparent glaze.Provenance: From an old private collection in the United Kingdom. Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear and minuscule firing irregularities.Weight: 133.3 g Dimensions: Diameter 10.9 cm Most scholars believe that pink enamel seems first to have appeared in the Chinese palette at the end of the Kangxi reign, in about AD 1720. Microscopic examination of this pink enamel has shown red particles immersed in a clear lead-potassium-silicate glass. The rose color was due to minute colloidal particles of gold. The Chinese rose enamel appears different from the European equivalent - the so-called 'Purple of Cassius', developed by Andreas Cassius of Leyden in c. 1670, for that it does not appear to have been made by the same method. The Chinese enamel has a much lower tin content and the scientists concluded that it was made not by precipitation but by making up a ruby glass and grinding this as a pigment to be dispersed in the clear enamel. The advantage of the Chinese method was that it used less gold, and it was also easier to achieve an even coloration within the enamel.Literature comparison:Compare a related ruby-pink glazed bowl with a foliate rim, 9.2 cm in diameter, dated late 18th/19th century, in the Chicago Museum of Art, accession number 1925.1007.Auction result comparison: Type: Related Auction: Christie's Hong Kong, 29 May 2013, lot 2108 Price: HKD 930,000 or approx.

A PAIR OF LARGE RUBY-GROUND FAMILLE ROSE BUDDHIST EMBLEM ALTAR ORNAMENTS, QING DYNASTYChina, 19th century. Each finely modeled and enameled in brilliant tones in the form of an open worked ruby-red medallion enclosing one of the Eight Buddhist Emblems (bajixiang), one the Parasol (san), representing spiritual authority, reverence, and purity, and the other the Vase (ping), symbolizing eternal harmony, the receptacle for lustral water, the nectar of immortality. The turquoise-glazed bases each with an iron red six-character seal mark da Qing Qianlong nianzhi.Provenance: Collection of Milton Drexel Rutherford (1894-1976), acquired in China between c. 1930 and 1940, and thence by descent within the same family. The storage boxes padded with Russian and Chinese newspaper clippings from the period. Each altar stand inscribed in black ink to the base, 'China'. Milton Drexel (Rex) Rutherford was a US veteran and engineer. He lived and worked in the city of Chicago, excavating the tunnels for the city's subway. His proliferate collection began when a client gifted him an artifact from eastern Asia igniting a passion for collecting Asian art, including Kangxi ceramics as well as Japanese metalwork and lacquers. Condition: Superb condition with expected old wear, minor rubbing and flaking to enamels, occasional light scratches. Small glaze touchups inherent to manufacture, and other firing irregularities. The boxes worn, soiled and with minor damages.Weight: 1,934 g and 2,020 Dimensions: Height 38.5 cm and 38.3 cm Each emblem sits atop a lotus pod with recessed seeds nestled in a lotus blossom raised on a stem of chevrons flanked by openwork curling leaves, the whole raised on a domed base neatly enameled on a ruby-red ground with lappets framed by bands of ruyi-heads and key-fret, lappets, and covered in turquoise enamel on the interior.Each with an old fitted wood stand, finely carved with lotus lappets between two key-fret bands, dating to the late 19th century.Each with an old compartmented storage box, dating ca. 1930-1949. (6)The present lot belongs to a group of important altar ornaments placed in temples and chapels in front of Buddhist deities. The complicated openwork panels required a manual dexterity in handling the clay and testify of the technical virtuosity of the Jingdezhen potters at the kilns in Jiangxi province. Richly painted in the famille-rose enamel palette, they reflect the eclectic and ornate style of the period. As a serious student and active practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism, the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1736-1795) commissioned thousands of ritual implements and sacrificial utensils to furnish the renovated and newly built monasteries and temples as well as the numerous chapels and shrines in the palaces in the Forbidden City, Yuanmingyuan summer palace and the Chengde summer residence. Religious objects formed also part of the presents offered to family and court members. He is known, for example, to have lavished these on his beloved mother, the Empress Dowager Xiaosheng (1691-1771), who was a pious Buddhist. They equally played an essential role in the interchange of gifts to honor religious and diplomatic relations with the Dalai and Panchen Lamas who came to Chengde to pay homage to the Emperor.A complete set of the bajixiang, similar in design to the present lot, can be seen on an altar in front of a statue of Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, in the Fanzonglou (Hall of Buddhism), a private chapel in the Forbidden City, see Qing gong Zang chuan fojiao wenwu/Culltural relics of Tibetan Buddhism Collected in the Qing Palace, Beijing, 1992, pl. 99-1, where related sets of altar ornaments in gilt copper and silver gilt are also illustrated, pls. 138 and 139.
