A rare Chinese ruby ground medallion vase, Huairentang mark, early Republic period,finely painted to three oval medallions with two quails below chrysanthemums, two black birds amid Prunus and fungus and a Cockrell by rockwork and flowers, on a ruby pink ground, the base with ‘Huai ren tang zhi’ blue enamelled seal mark to base.Provenance - the vase has been in the owner’s family prior to 1985.The Huairen Hall or Huairentang (Hall of Cherished Compassion) is a building inside Zhongnanhai, the Chinese government's leadership compound in Beijing. It has been the site of several major events in Chinese history. Construction of the hall began in 1885 and was overseen by Yixuan, Prince Chun. In 1888 the hall became the daily workplace of Dowager Empress Cixi, replacing the Hall of Mental Cultivation in the nearby Forbidden City. After the Boxer rebellion, Huairentang became the headquarters of occupying Eight Nation Alliance's commander Alfred von Waldersee. In 1902 Empress Cixi rebuilt Huairentang at a cost of five million taels of silver and in 1908 she died there. After the founding of the Republic of China in 1911, President Yuan Shikai used the building to meet with foreign guests and to accept New Year's day greetings. After Yuan's death, it was the site of his funeral. When Cao Kun became president, he used Huairentang as his residence. See Gerald Davison, The new and revised handbook of marks on Chinese ceramics, 2010, number 3195 for a version of this mark.24cm highThe porcelain thin and well potted as light can be seen through the vase when held up to our interior lighting.

Chinese Art A lobed craquelé porcelain vase China, 20th century . . Cm 7,00 x 12,50. Bottle-shaped, in quadrangular section, with polylobate walls, rounded body surmounted by a high splayed neck and elegant craquelé olive glaze. The taste for this peculiar type of glaze is due to the spread of the splendid "Ge" production of the Song era, characterized by the conspicuous and deliberate craquelure. The resulting decorative net is called by collectors 'gold and iron' for the elegant combination of two overlapping layers: a thicker and less evident yellowish color one and a wider, deeper and more visible dark colored one.
Chinese Art A gilt bronze vase decorated with twisted dragons China, Qing dynasty, 18th century . . Cm 12,50 x 20,00. Heavy-bodied cast gilded bronze consisting of two side-by-side vases decorated with entwined dragons. Separate base. Qianlong six character mark engraved at the bottom. This is a classic accessory used by scholars showing the so-called "archaeological" style in vogue throughout the 18th century and which referred to archaic models, especially from the Han period (206 BC-220 AD).
Chinese Art A huanghuali brush pot bitong vase China, Qing dynasty, 18th century. . Cm 14,50 x 15,00. Cylindrical brush pot made of precious dalbergia odorifera wood, known in China as huali or huanghuali. This latter term preferred by collectors, should be used when the color of the wood lightens due to long exposure to air and turns towards a warm shade of yellow. Much appreciated since ancient times, huali, together with a few other types of woods, is at the top of classic Chinese furniture, always used by the wealthier classes also for the creation of precious artifacts for home furnishings or, as in this case, for the elegant instruments intended for the use of the Literati and Scholars.
Chinese Art A sang de boef pottery vase China, Qing dynasty, 19th century . . Cm 12,50 x 20,00. Bottle vase with globular body and tall thin slightly splayed neck, covered with thick dark red monochrome glaze.

Chinese Art A blue and white porcelain cachepot China, Qing dynasty, 19th century . . Cm 27,50 x 20,50. Porcelain cachepot with blue and white painted decoration of foliate branches and lotus flowers.

Chinese Art A blue and white porcelain baluster vase China, Qing dynasty, 17th century . . Cm 12,00 x 25,00. Porcelain vase with underglaze blue floral and geometric decoration within cartouches. Vases of this type were produced in large quantities under the reign of the Emperor Kangxi (1661-1722) and destined to be exported in Europe where they were highly appreciated for their sober chromatic contrast.
Chinese Art A craquelé glazed porcelain bottle China, Song dynasty (960-1279) . . Cm 8,00 x 14,50. Interesting bottle made of heavy porcelain covered by a thick gray-green glaze with darker dots and affected by an extensive craquelure. The particular shape of this bottle-shaped vase, is common to other artifacts attributable to the production of the Hebei province whose peculiar green was most possibly an imitation of the jade.
Chinese Art A Jun bottle vaseChina, Qing dynasty, 19th century . . Cm 25,50. Large heavy-bodied porcelain vase with high splayed neck covered by a brilliant blued glaze with large carmine colored central splash. This type of glaze was developed in China during the Song dynasty and it is known as Jun porcelain. This bottle strikes for its perfect chromatic balance and it is attributable to the Song pottery revival fashion which had a big success in Jingdezhen during the 19th century.
Chinese Art A famille rose brush washer painted with landscape China, Qing dynasty, Guangxu mark and period (1874-1908) . . Cm 10,50 x 10,00. A white porcelain globular vase decorated with landscape, blossoming trees and shrubs. This type of decoration, based on the elegant chromatic combination of the Falangcai palette on the white background of the porcelain, was introduced in China at the beginning of the 18th century, then reaching its apex during the reigns of Yongzheng and Qianlong. This vase is a classic example of late production with a six-character imperial mark in underglaze blue.
Chinese Art A monochrome Kendi China, possibly Song dynasty (960-1279), 13th century . . Cm 18,00 x 21,00.

Chinese Art A famille rose porcelain hu vase bearing a Qianlong mark at the base China, Qing dynasty, 19th century . . Cm 15,50 x 26,50. A white porcelain Hu shaped vase with historiated decoration depicting a royal parade and landscape. The particular shape of this vase, derived from the so-called “fengwei zun” model (literally “phoenix tail”), is characterized by the sinuous shapes applied to a squared section. The decoration, based on the elegant chromatic combination of “famille rose” enamels with the sober blue decoration of the neck, evokes the models of the period, Yongzhen (1678-1735) and Qianlong (1735-1796). This vase is a classic example of late production with an apocryphal Qianlong six character mark at the base.
Chinese Art A blue and white porcelain meiping China, Qing dynasty, 19th century . . Cm 22,50 x 33,50. White porcelain vase elegantly decorated in underglaze blue with flowers and lotus within two bands, respectively decorated with stylized waves and petals. The meiping, literally "vase for the plum branch", is one of the most popular shape in the Chinese tradition. Historically, the flowered lotus spirals blue decoration against a white background reached its apex under the reign of Yongle (1402-1424) where it was often used to ornate meiping shaped vases. This vase is an example of this great Ming tradition which is a phenomenon occurred in China during the 18th century and later. The interest for the surviving Ming specimen was driven also to the random small imperfections in the precious blue pigment which was the result of a complex mixture of cobalt oxides of different origin. This recipe, governed by the emperor Yongle himself, was able to produce an unrepeatable shade of blue with violet hues and small darker spots due to the presence of iron oxide, the so-called "heaping and piling" effect, very evident in the porcelain of the Yuan period, but later replicated as a decorative effect. As a matter of fact, 18th century potters could not recreate this technique, which had been forgotten, thus simply imitate it whit dark and bright painted dots, as clearly visible in this vase.
Chinese Art A famille rose porcelain cachepot China, Qing dynasty, Tongzhi mark and period (1861-1875). . Cm 32,00 x 22,50. A white porcelain globular vase decorated with lobed reserves containing trees, flowers and rocks in the brilliant colors of the Yangcai palette, better known in the West as "famille rose" due to the presence of this pigment which was introduced in China not earlier than the 18th century by the Jesuits hosted at the court of Emperor Kangxi (1661-1722). This vase stands out for the excellent quality entrusted to the pleasant balance of shapes and the perfect execution of the ceramic body, thus it is an example of the high level maintained by the imperial kilns of Jingdezhen even in recent times. Six-character Tongzhi overglaze red mark on the base.
Chinese Art A blue and white pottery fish tank or dog bowl China, Qing dynasty, 18th century . . Cm 54,00 x 49,00. A large blue and white porcelain, cylindrical in shape, tapered towards the bottom and provided with a small brim. The exterior finely painted with "Shi" lions, clouds and flames, framed at the bottom by a leaf motif and at the top by two overlapping bands of different sizes, one with meandering "leiwen" and the other with "ruyi" ". Large “jardiniere” vases like this one were actually mainly conceived as indoor fish tanks, an accessory that is always present in the furnishings of a high social level. These type of tanks usually contained goldfish and were decorated with naturalistic motifs inspired by fauna and aquatic vegetation. Furthermore, their shape tended to be more flared and low compared to our specimen. The lack of internal decoration and the absence of references to the pulustre world suggests that this large vase, with its high walls could serve as an elegant "cage" for small dogs, deposited inside it for short periods, as illustrated in many paintings or drawings of the time. Completed with non coeval hongmu stand.
Chinese Art A blue and white porcelain vase painted with sprays China, Qing dynasty, late 18th century . . Cm 27,00 x 35,00. Jar vase, with short cylindrical neck, the exterior painted with underglaze chrysanthemums between sprays within two brown glazed bands (top and bottom) engraved with vegetal motifs.
