Parry（1879-1946）舊藏，於1919年10月30日購自上者，並由後人保存迄今The present lavishly carved two-colour cinnabar lacquer Yixing teapot and cover, was made for use at the Imperial Court. The design on each main side of a pair of phoenix flanking a blossoming tree peony, indicates it was likely made for use by the Empress or one of the Imperial consorts. Carved cinnabar lacquer teapots were first made during the late Ming dynasty; see from the Qing Court Collection, an ovoid octagonal 'dragon and phoenix' teapot and cover, Jiajing mark and period; a further development of combining carved lacquer on an Yixing body, can be seen in a rectangular teapot and cover, bearing the mark of Shi Dabin, late Ming dynasty, also from the Qing Court Collection, decorated with figures in landscape; see The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Lacquer Wares of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Hong Kong, 2006, nos.145 and 198.Embellished Yixing teapots continued during the Qing dynasty from the reign of the Kangxi Emperor, with the Imperial Ateliers also experimenting with other methods of decoration such as famille rose enamels. During the Yongzheng and Qianlong reigns, Yixing teapots were also decorated in gilt lacquer; for examples see Geng Baochang, The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Purple Sandy Ware, Shanghai, 2008, nos.4, 25 and 26. A related carved cinnabar lacquer Yixing teapot and cover, Qianlong gilt seal mark and period, in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, is illustrated in Carving the Subtle Radiance of Colors: Treasured Lacquerware in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, 2007, no.146. A further unmarked example, 18th century from the K.S.Lo Collection, in the Flagstaff House Museum of Tea Ware, Hong Kong, is illustrated in The Art of the Yixing Potter, Hong Kong, 1990, p.150, pl.35.The symbolism of the phoenix on the teapot, according to the 'Classic of Mountains and Seas' (Shanhai Jing), embodies benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and sincerity: all attributes of which an Empress should possess. The subject also symbolises the wish for marital harmony by showing the phoenix as a pair. In addition to this, the peony is a symbol of wealth and prosperity and is sometimes known as the 'flower of riches and honour' (fugui hua). The ruyi lappets around the spout and handle represent the wish for long life.Compare with a related cinnabar lacquered Yixing teapot, Qianlong, which was sold at Sotheby's London, 11 May 2016, lot 78.
