A WHITE AND RUSSET JADE 'MYTHICAL ANIMALS AND VASES' GROUP18th centuryOne vase of flattened archaistic gu form with a dragon chasing a flaming pearl carved around the upper body, flanked on one side by a zun-shaped vase supported on a swirling clouds stand, the other side with a double-vase on a mythical bird, the stone of white tone with russet inclusions. 17cm (6 3/4in) wide. Footnotes:十八世紀 白玉三聯式扁瓶擺件Provenance: a Western private collection, and thence by descent來源：西方私人收藏，並由後人保存迄今Finely carved in the round in the form of archaistic vases based on the prototypes of wine vessels manufactured during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the present jade group displays the Qianlong emperor's penchant for innovative objects that were rooted in archaism. The emperor proposed to 'restore ancient ways', referring to the view of ancient culture as having intrinsic qualities of sincerity, simplicity and happy exuberance. For this purpose the emperor instructed the court to collect drawings of antiquities, such as the 'Xi Qing Gu Jian' (Catalogue of Xiqing Antiquities), which served as base of inspiration to the craftsmen. See Chang Li-tuan, The Refined Taste of the Emperor: Special Exhibition of Archaic and Pictorial Jades of the Ch'ing Court, Taipei, 1997, pp.49-50.The bird supporting the pair of vases on the far right may be identified as a 'heavenly bird' tianji, which is often mistaken for a phoenix. According to the Xuanzhongji or 'Records of Mysterious Phenomena' by the Eastern Jin scholar and writer Guo Pu (AD 276-324), there once lived a giant tree on Mount Taodu which was so immense it shaded an area of five thousand kilometres. The tianji was found perched on the tree while other birds mimicked its singing. Another 4th-6th century record also mentions the tianji as a bird that could fly a thousand miles high and whose flapping wings would produce thunderous sounds when outstretched.See a related jade phoenix vase but without cover, 18th century, illustrated by He Li, in Jade Chinois: Pierres D'Immortalité, Paris, 1997, p.188, no.123. Compare with a related celadon and russet jade 'phoenix and pine' vase group, Qianlong, which was sold at Christie's London, 15 May 2018, lot 53, and a very pale green jade archaistic 'heavenly bird' vase and cover, Qianlong, which was sold at Bonhams London, 5 November 2020, lot 165.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A RARE PAIR OF 'ROYAL ARMS OF FRANCE' CUP-COOLERSKangxiEach of cylindrical form with straight sides, finely enamelled with the Royal arms of Louis XV within the orders of Saint-Michel and Saint-Esprit, a band of gilt and iron-red scrolling lotus punctuated by cartouches of addorsed L's at the mouth rim, the exterior with further sprays of pomegranates, flowers and fruits, flanked by a pair of mythical beast-head handles. Each, 16.5cm (6 1/2in) wide. (2).Footnotes:清康熙 青花礬紅描金法國王室冷酒器一對Provenance: an Irish private collection, and thence by descent來源：愛爾蘭私人收藏，並由後人保存迄今Commissioned for King Louis XV (1710-1774), who succeeded his great grandfather to the throne in 1715, the present lot is extremely rare. Chinese export porcelain made for the French nobility and Royal Court is relatively unusual compared with the large number of services specially ordered with English coats of arms. In the early eighteenth century in France, only the French Court and noble families of Brittany with trade contracts were able to commission Chinese services. This rare wine cooler bears the Royal arms of France encircled by the chains of the orders of the Holy Ghost and of Saint Michael.The elaborate service of which the present lot was a part, included a wide variety of diverse forms such as candlesticks, spice canisters, tripod bowls, shell-shaped tureens and knife handles. Finely painted in underglaze blue, iron red, black and blue enamels and gilt, the quality of the decoration on this lot gives an indication of the visual impact of the entire service. See a very similar French Royal armorial wine cooler, Kangxi, illustrated by The Chinese Porcelain Company, Important Chinese Export Porcelain from Kangxi to Jiaqing, New York, 1999, pp.34-35, and also the front cover. See a saucer-dish from the same service, Kangxi, illustrated by D.S.Howard, The Choice of the Private Trader: The Private Market in Chinese Export Porcelain illustrated from the Hodroff Collection, Minneapolis, 1994, p.51, no.21. A tureen and cover with the French Royal arms, circa 1725-1730, also from the Hodroff collection, was sold at Christie's New York, 21 January 2009, lot 266. Another piece from the service is in the Musee National des Arts Asiatiques-Guimet, Paris, illustrated by M.Crick, 'Trade with France', Oriental Art, vol.XLV, no.1, 1999, p.57, fig.10. Similar designs with the Arms of France also appeared on services for Philip d'Orleans, who served as Regent from 1715-1723. See for example, a baluster vase with similar French Royal arms but with denser floral groups, illustrated by J.Ayers, Chinese and Japanese Works of Art in the Collection of Her Majesty the Queen, vol.I, London, 2016, pp.268-269, no.560.See a large French Royal wine cooler from the Benjamin F. Edwards III Collection, which was sold at Christie's, New York, 22 January 2003, lot 73.
