A GE-TYPE VASE, HU, QIANLONG MARK AND PROBABLY OF THE PERIOD 乾隆款仿哥釉壺，或為乾隆時期China, c. 1736-1795. The globular body supported on a tall spreading foot and rising to a waisted neck with galleried rim, the shoulder applied with two pierced handles in the form of bats suspending ruyi heads, and further decorated with two raised bowstrings each below the neck and above the foot. Covered overall with a creamy gray glaze suffused with a striking network of black and golden-brown crackle. The recessed base with an underglaze-blue six-character seal mark da Qing Qianlong nianzhi and probably of the period. Provenance: From a Norwegian private collection. Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear and firing irregularities. The piercings to the bat-form handles with traces of use including minute nibbling around the openings. The rings now lost. Weight: 4,424 g Dimensions: Height 28.7 g Expert's note: The high level of control exhibited by the glaze of the present vase, with its razor-sharp black and golden-brown crackle, along with the archaistic yet strictly precise form and the finely executed bowstrings, leaves little doubt that it was made in the 18th century. The bat-form handles are a particularly notable detail, as they once held separately crafted ring handles, probably made of gilt bronze, as evidenced by the piercings from one side to the other and the wear and nibbling around the openings.

The material of a lustrous caramel-brown tone with gold speckles.Provenance: New York trade. Condition: Very good condition with minor old wear, few minuscule chips and nibbles.Weight: 21.5 g Dimensions: Length 4 cmAventurine glass, which was made by dissolving copper particles into molten glass, was invented by the Venetian glass makers of Murano. It was introduced to China during the Kangxi reign (1662-1722) and immediately caught the imagination of the Qing court. Moss, Graham and Tsang illustrate an aventurine glass snuff bottle from the J&J collection and discuss in detail the introduction from Venice to Beijing and subsequent use of this material in The Art of the Chinese Snuff Bottle, the J&J Collection, volume II, New York, pages 572 and 573. They write that 'Yang Boda has recorded that in the fifth year of the Qianlong period (1740), two Jesuits joined the Court at Beijing to assist Pierre D'Incarville and Gabriel-Leonard de Broussard in the glass-making, and that in the following year (1741) they produced aventurine glass' (Yang Boda, A Brief Account of Qing Dynasty Glass, Chinese Glass of the Qing Dynasty 1644-1911, The Robert H. Clague Collection, page 79).The present lot is exceptionally rare and no other similar example would appear to have been published. It displays one of the many playful variants of Qing dynasty Imperial craftsmanship, by imitating one material using another. This was done with characteristic Qing opulence, adding a distinct sparkle to the material.Literature comparison:Compare several aventurine glass scholar's objects in the Qing Court Collection, Beijing, and illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum - Small Refined Articles of the Study, Shanghai, 2009.

A RARE GUAN-TYPE VASE, HU, QIANLONG MARK AND PERIOD 乾隆款及年代仿官釉雙耳壺China, 1736-1795. The ovoid body supported on a thick spreading foot and tapering to a waisted flared neck, set to either side with a lion-head-form loop handle over a molded mock ring handle at the shoulder, applied overall in a thick bluish-gray glaze suffused with a bold network of steel gray and pale gold crackles stopping at the unglazed foot ring dressed in a dark brown wash in imitation of Song dynasty guan ware. The recessed base with an underglaze-blue six-character mark da Qing Qianlong nianzhi and of the period.Provenance: Swiss trade. Condition: Fine condition overall with wear and firing irregularities, shallow surface scratches, the rim with a small chip and associated minor old repair. Please request further detail images as well as a video, shot under strong blue light, for accurate documentation of the condition of the present lot.Weight: 6,002 gDimensions: Height 37 cmThe crisply molded lion-form loop handles on the present piece are striking, varying from the usual shallow applied lion-mask handles with pendent rings or the rarer elephant-head loop handles. The bold feature is a charming 18th-century innovation on a vase that in both form and glaze references two well-known early accomplishments of Chinese art: the iconic hu form derived from the great bronzes of the Shang dynasty and the rich crackled glaze of the famed Guan wares of the Southern Song dynasty. The official or Guan ware was produced for the court in the capital, Hangzhou, in Zhejiang province. Laohudong in southern Hangzhou appears to have been the most important Guan kiln creating wares with an attractive crackled glaze, a version of which is seen on the present piece. The crackle was purposefully made utilizing refined technical skill to calibrate a cooling rate for the wares that would produce the different layers of fissures and allow them to be filled with two to three different colors. The present piece with its two tones references the jinsi tiexian (gold thread and iron wire).Such a pointed allusion to the past served to both pay homage to the past while simultaneously noting the technical achievements of the present. Archaism enjoyed a major revival during the height of the Qing dynasty under the Yongzheng and Qianlong emperors. The combination of a precious glaze and ancient form suggests a deep appreciation and respect for the past, together with the want for its preservation.Auction result comparison: Type: Near-identical Auction: Sotheby's New York, 17 March 2015, lot 287 Price: USD 87,500 or approx.

A CLAIRE DE LUNE GLAZED ROULEAU VASE, QING DYNASTY, 18TH CENTURY 十八世紀天藍釉棒槌瓶Expert's note: The soft and gentle clair-de-lune-glazed wares were highly prized in the Qing dynasty and the color was strictly reserved for imperial porcelain. The glaze was first developed in the Xuande (1426-1435) period, as evidenced by the excavated Xuande-marked stem bowl illustrated by S. Liang, Yuan's and Ming's Imperial Porcelains Unearthed from Jingdezhen, Beijing, 1999, page 256, no. 257. However, the glaze did not gain prominence until the Kangxi period, when it was used mostly for scholar's objects.China. The cylindrical body rising from a short straight foot to a tubular neck with a galleried rim, the neck encircled by a distinct bow string. The exterior covered overall in a smooth and remarkably even pale blue glaze, the everted rim and interior glazed in white. The recessed base with a double circle in underglaze blue.Provenance: The Strong National Museum of Play, accession number 78.17.33 (lacquered to base). Margaret Woodbury Strong (1897-1969) grew up in a prosperous family of collectors. Her interests ranged so widely that by 1960 she had amassed more than 27,000 collectible items and works of art. The vast majority of her collections related in some way to play and as her accumulation grew, Margaret planned a museum to house her collection. It eventually opened to the public in 1982, and grew dramatically over the following decades, expanding its collections, facilities, and resources, now spanning over 285,000 square feet. Today, the Strong National Museum of Play (known as just The Strong Museum or simply The Strong) is the only collections-based museum in the world devoted solely to the study of play. Condition: Excellent condition with minor old wear and some manufacturing flaws, including dark spots.Weight: 817.9 g Dimensions: Height 25.1 cmDuring the early Qing dynasty, up until the 1680s, conditions were unsettled in China and the making of Imperial wares as well as the use of reign marks on porcelain was restricted in various ways. During this period, different types of other marks came into use, including empty double circles. The usage of some of these marks continued well into the later Kangxi era and then started again in the 19th century, mostly on Kangxi revival pieces.

A CARVED CELADON-GLAZED 'LOTUS' VASE, QIANLONG MARK AND PERIOD 乾隆款及年代青釉暗刻纏枝蓮紋瓶China, 1736-1795. Finely carved in high relief around the body with stylized lotus flowerheads borne on scrolling leafy vines, overall incised with minute details, above a lappet border and below a band of ruyi heads. The shoulder similarly decorated with foliate scroll below a distinct leiwen border, the neck with overlapping palm blades above pendent trefoils, with further ruyi bands at the foot and below the rim. The base incised with a six-character seal mark da Qing Qianlong nianzhi in intaglio within a slightly recessed square and of the period.Provenance: West Berkshire, United Kingdom, local trade. By repute acquired from a private estate. Condition: Excellent condition with minor old wear and firing flaws, tiny surface scratches. Weight: 3,097 g Dimensions: Height 38.3 cmThe rounded sides supported on a spreading foot and sweeping up to an angular shoulder and waisted neck. Covered overall in a lustrous sea-green glaze pooling to a rich and deep celadon tone within the carved recesses. The base and inside glazed as well, leaving only the foot rim unglazed, revealing the white biscuit.From its fine potting, translucent pale green celadon glaze, crisp lotus scroll and supporting designs, this vase reveals the technical and artistic virtuosity of craftsmen active at the Imperial kilns in Jingdezhen during the 18th century. The form evokes a sense of effortless elegance, despite its design being meticulously executed and conceived in advance. The decoration and glaze both draw from the celebrated ceramic tradition of Longquan in Zhejiang province and reinterpret it to suit the eclectic taste of the 18th century and growing interest in timeless elegance, literally overarching millennia. Celadon-glazed wares are perhaps the type of ceramics most intimately associated with China. Their origins can be traced back to the Bronze Age, and since then they continued to be popular throughout the Chinese empire. The brilliant bluish-celadon glazes created at the Longquan kilns had provided much inspiration to the potters of the Jingdezhen imperial kilns since the early Ming dynasty. By lessening the amount of iron in the glaze, the potters were able to create a cool and delicate celadon glaze that, when applied on a white porcelain body, resembled the translucency and texture of pale celadon jade. A wide range of exquisite celadon tones was created in the early Qing dynasty, as a result of the Yongzheng and Qianlong Emperors' appreciation of Song dynasty porcelain. Much admired by contemporary connoisseurs was the douqing (bean-green), a bright sea-green color, and the present fenqing (soft green), a pale celadon-green glaze. When applied to finely carved pieces as on the present vase, the thinning and pooling of the glaze on the raised lines and the recesses create a delicate shaded effect, thus accentuating the crispness of the design. The present vase belongs to a group of monochrome wares where, by using a multi-level carving technique, the craftsmen have created a contrast in the color tone, as if two shades of the same color were used. The motif is elaborate and complex, displaying a level of porcelain carving and incision quality only achieved in the Imperial kilns of the 18th century, yet without any cluttering or overload whatsoever. The elegant silhouette of this vase, its restrained decoration, subtle glaze, and intaglio mark suggest that it was made in the early to middle years of the Qianlong reign, some time before designs slowly started to become overtly elaborate. Expert's note: The luxuriant lotus scroll on the present vase, which is particularly crisp in its rendering, was adapted from the somewhat rough and rustic designs on Longquan celadons of the Yuan and Ming dynasties. By adding tall palm blades to the neck, precise ruyi borders to the edges, multi-layer lappets to the lower body, and a hyper-accurate leiwen band to the shoulder, the artist has sensibly transitioned original Longquan designs into the highly formal decor language of the Imperial court. Later copies of these designs always lack such sophisticated semantics, for they not only demand complete submission to simplicity, but also scrupulously precise execution.

A RARE ARCHAISTIC 'SHANG BRONZE IMITATION' JADE VESSEL, ZHI, LATE SONG TO EARLY MING DYNASTY 宋末至明初罕見仿商青銅酒杯玉觶China, 13th-15th century. Of flattened form, the pear-shaped body rising from a spreading foot carved with a raised bow-string band, the waisted neck with archaistic dragons and whorl motifs. The semi-translucent stone of a pale celadon tone with russet veins, cloudy inclusions, and few dark specks, mostly reserved to one side of the vessel which has been further heightened with cinnabar lacquer (extremely rare) to imitate the natural patina of the bronze prototype, cleverly presenting the archaistic jade to one side and its ancient inspiration to the other. Exhibited: On loan to the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, September 1973 to September 1980. Provenance: From the collection of William S. Arnett, Atlanta, Georgia, USA, acquired prior to 1971, and thence by descent within the same family. William Sydney Arnett (1939-2020) was an Atlanta-based writer, editor, curator, and art collector who built an internationally important collection of African, Asian, and African-American art. In 1978, he co-authored the Three Rivers of Nigeria exhibition catalog for Atlanta's High Museum of Art. As Arnett's collection of African-American art grew, he became convinced that the so-called folk or outsider artists of the black American South were in fact a coherent cultural movement and constituted a crucial chapter in world art. He spent decades gathering extensive documentation and amassing a near-definitive collection of work crucial to the understanding of this cultural phenomenon.Condition: Excellent condition with minor old wear from centuries of handling. Some minuscule nibbling is probably part of the simulated overall wear inherent to the original carving. The stone with natural fissures, some of which may have developed into small hairline cracks over time.Weight: 127.1 gDimensions: Height 8.3 cmWith a velvet-padded silk storage box. (2)The present vessel was inspired by an archaic ritual bronze prototype, zhi, which contained wine offerings presented to the ancestors during the performance of religious rituals.The interest of Chinese scholars in ancient artifacts can be traced back to antiquity, but the study of these artifacts, known as antiquarianism or jinshixue 金石學, literally meaning 'the study of metals and stones,' first developed during the Northern Song dynasty. The practice of collecting precious objects was spreading through China as well, and many lost pieces from the Shang dynasty and later were found at building sites. Song scholars established a formal system of dating these artifacts by examining their inscriptions, decorative motif styles, and physical shapes, introducing terms such as taotie which are still in use today. Two works of this period, the Kaogu tu by Lü Dalin and the Bogu tu by Wang Fu, were especially influential on later artists. Along with many other illustrated catalogs they were reprinted during the Ming and Qing dynasties, inspiring the production of archaic style bronzes and jades.Literature comparison: Compare a closely related jade zhi in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, dated to the Song dynasty, decorated with a similar band and bowstring, accession number 16.10.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Sotheby's Hong Kong, 1 December 2016, lot 568Price: HKD 437,500 or approx.

A BRONZE 'XINIU' MIRROR STAND AND 'LION AND GRAPEVINE' MIRROR, MING AND TANG DYNASTY 明代犀牛望月銅鏡架，唐代海獸葡萄銅鏡China, 1368-1644 (the mirror stand) and 618-907 (the mirror). The stand well cast, the recumbent beast with a long curved horn flanked by a pair of funnel-shaped ears, its head turned back, the spine supporting a mirror stand in the form of a crescent-shaped moon above a cloud cluster. The mirror of circular form and finely cast in the center with a crouching beast-form loop encircled by lions amid grapevines, and in the outer field with various birds and animals amid further grapevine below a foliate border. (2)Provenance: From the collection of Carl Johan Claëson (1879‑1963) and Greta Claëson (1887‑1978), and thence by descent in the family to the last owner. A copy of a picture taken c. 1950 in the appartment of the Claëson family, showing the present Xiniu bronze already together with the present Tang dynasty mirror, is accompanying this lot.Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and casting flaws, few minuscule nicks, tiny dents, occasional light scratches and losses.Weight: 1,091 g (the mirror stand) and 450.3 g (the mirror)Dimensions: Length 20.5 cm (the mirror stand), Diameter 13.6 cm (the mirror)The design of a Xiniu gazing at the moon appears for the first time in the Song dynasty and remains popular through the 13th and 14th centuries, appearing on Dingyao and Yaozhou bowls and dishes as well as textiles and elsewhere in Chinese decorative arts. A fine example is the Xiniu porcelain vase, Kangxi mark and period, in the present catalog, number 75.The Xiniu theme is discussed at length by Wirgin, in Sung Ceramic Designs, B.M.F.E.A., No. 42, Stockholm, 1970, pp. 196-198. According to Wirgin, the term hsi-niu (xiniu) meant rhinoceros in ancient Chinese texts, but the rhinoceros became extinct in the post-archaic period, and by the Song dynasty the xiniu had become a beast of legend, known only through literary references. The design of a xiniu gazing at the moon in Chinese ceramics and porcelains illustrates the popular myth that the beast magically “communicates with the sky” through its horn. The magical powers attributed to this horn continued to gain in popularity during later periods. Supernatural, medicinal and other valuable properties were attributed to it by Daoist adepts and medicine men, including the reputation for its powerful effect as an aphrodisiac. This eventually led to the production of rhinoceros horn bowls and cups in the 17th century, a category of decorative art unique to China.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Sotheby's Hong Kong, 6 April 2016, lot 3670 Price: HKD 162,500 or approx.

The exterior is finely painted in bright enamels against a puce ground with a charming and humorous scene of an elderly scholar who has fallen asleep at his desk and the chaos ensuing around him. One boy is standing behind the scholar on his chair, removing his hat, while another holds up a rod with a small spider attached to it in an effort to frighten the poor teacher once he awakes. The base and interior glazed turquoise.Inscriptions: To one side, 'The children bring happiness and joy. They laugh and sing and celebrate the new year.'Provenance: Lyon & Turnbull, Edinburgh, United Kingdom, 8 January 2005, lot 109 (invoice not available, old label to interior). A Scottish private collection, acquired from the above, and thence by descent.Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear and minimal firing irregularities only.

The back with a poetic inscription. The recessed base with an apocryphal iron-red gilt-ground four-character mark Qianlong nianzhi.Expert's note: Most porcelain vases painted with the 'boys' motif use this subject to reference a certain festivity, such as the New Year or the Dragon Boat Festival. The present lot, however, lacks any such allusions and instead offers a humorous and very lifelike scene of children running amok in the absence of an attentive guardian, and is thus much rarer than comparable examples.清末民初胭脂紅地粉彩《稚子拈吉祥》瓶中國，1850-1949年。瓶口外撇，束頸，溜肩，豐胸圓腹，圈足。胎質堅實。胭脂紅彩地，粉彩描繪書院小孩童們趁夫子瞌睡之際一旁玩鬧戲耍，天真活潑。人物刻畫細膩傳神，一個男童站在夫子身後，正摘下他的帽子（圖 1）；而另一個男孩則舉起一根綁著一隻小蜘蛛（圖 2）的杆子，打算嚇唬父子。色彩雅麗。瓶内與圈足内施松石綠色釉。 款識：稚子拈吉祥，染翰作屏圖，和風徊笑語，齊歌樂嵗詩 來源：蘇格蘭私人收藏，購於英國愛丁堡Lyon & Turnbull拍賣行，2005年1月8日，lot 109 (發票遺失，瓶内標簽)，保存至今。 品相：狀況極好，輕微磨損，輕微燒製瑕疵。 重量：約7.2公斤 尺寸：高45 厘米 圈足内描金鐵紅“乾隆年製”四字款。 專家注釋：很多以“嬰戲圖”為主題的陶瓷器皿與某個節日相聯繫，例如新年或端午節。 然而，本拍品沒有任何此類典故，而是提供了一個幽默活潑的場景，即孩子們在學校裏嬉戲搗亂的場景，因此比同類例子少得多。
