Lot 171

AN IMPERIAL CELADON AND RUSSET JADE 'CHILONG' RHYTON, QIANLONG MARK AND PERIOD 乾隆款與年代御製青玉留皮螭龍角杯China, 1736-1795. Of baluster form with a handle in the form of a clambering chilong and a sloping lip. Carved with sparse C-shaped scrolls to the upper register, dense scrolls and two roundels with scroll designs to the middle register, and stiff leaves and key-fret to the lower register. The translucent stone of a pale celadon tone with russet veins and cloudy white inclusions. The concave base neatly incised with a four-character mark Qianlong nianzhi and of the period.Provenance: A private collector in the United Kingdom.Condition: Very good condition with minor old wear, microscopic nicks, the stone with natural fissures, some of which have developed into small hairline cracks over time.Weight: 225.9 gDimensions: Height 12.7 cmExpert's note: The Qianlong Emperor's great love of jade combined with his passion for antiques resulted in his commissioning significant numbers of archaistic jade items for his court. The present lot belongs to an important group of such objects, all carved from 'impure' jade with prominent fissures and inclusions, erroneously believed by some to be anathema to the Emperor. On the contrary, jades carved from this specific material were one of his greatest passions. During the 44th year of the Qianlong reign (1779), the Suzhou Manufactory was ordered to create a jade vase from a piece of shanliao (nephrite) raw jade. Because of cracks in the jade, the intended size was not possible, and the manufactory sought further instruction from the Emperor. Qianlong responded that if by reducing the size of the finished vase the cracks could be avoided, that would be a good solution, but if even then the cracks could not be avoided, then it would be better to maintain the intended size, as such cracks were a natural characteristic of jade after all. In fact, the Qianlong Emperor believed that defects such as spots and cracks added to the archaic feeling of a work.This aesthetic use of material defects can also be seen in other archaistic jade objects created during the Qianlong reign (see Auction result comparison), indicating that the Emperor considered the craft and decorative program of a jade object more important than the quality of the raw material. Although Qianlong had always had a love of the past, he only promoted the production of archaistic jades in society at large during the middle and late periods of his reign, due to the appearance of certain new kinds of jade that he detested. In the 39th year of his reign (1774), Qianlong criticized the “wretched new forms of jade” in his writing, and later proceeded to lodge repeated criticisms against other new-fangled forms that he considered unacceptably vulgar for being overwrought, excessively ornate, or slavish towards raw materiality. He regarded the popularity of such forms as a “catastrophe for jade”. Whether these forms strike us today as indeed catastrophic or rather innovative, it is clear that the Emperor found them unbearable.Auction result comparison:Type: RelatedAuction: Sotheby's Hong Kong, 26 May 2013, lot 131Price: HKD 475,000 or approx.

A CARNELIAN AGATE 'PHOENIX AND LINGZHI' VASE, QING DYNASTY 清代紅玉髓鳳凰如意福壽瓶China, 18th-19th century. The vessel with two receptacles, the larger carved as a gnarled tree trunk and the smaller as a lingzhi fungus growing from the side, further carved in relief and openwork with a phoenix and a bat perched on the trunk as well as lingzhi sprigs and numerous leafy peach branches, the striking contrast between the white agate and bright-red carnelian inclusions ingeniously used to great effect.Provenance: British trade. Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age and displaying nicely overall, with old wear, minor nicks here and there, minuscule losses, and light surface scratches. The stone with extensive yet almost invisible natural fissuring, exactly as expected from ancient specimens of this conglomerate mineral, some of which developed into microscopic hairline cracks over time. Note that the vessel is leaning to one side, which was likely once compensated with a fitted wood stand.Weight: 694.6 gDimensions: Width 13.5 cmOpinion: The extensive yet almost invisible natural fissuring is a hallmark of the most ancient specimens of this conglomerate mineral, which was rare and thus highly coveted by Chinese literati and scholars of the 18th century. Much to the contrary, specimens mined in modern times all lack this distinct and unique feature.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely related Auction: Sotheby's Hong Kong, 30 November 2017, lot 362Price: 225,000 HKD or approx.
