Lot 68. A large blue and white square vase, Mark and period of Kangxi (1662-1722); 49.5cm., 19 1/2 in. Estimate 8,000 — 12,000 GBP. Lot sold 21,600 GBP. Photo: Sotheby's 2007

of square tapering baluster form, each side painted in vivid cobalt-blue tones with cusped panels variously enclosing figures within pavillions, gardens and on horseback, the tall waisted neck with bamboo sprays and encircled by floral sprays at the domed shoulder.

Provenance: Private collection in Bavaria, Germany (by repute).

Note: See four Kangxi vases of this type illustrated in Seventeenth Century Chinese Porcelain from the Butler Family Collection, Alexandria, Virginia, 1990, pls. 118-121, all painted with different scenes of figures in landscape. Regarding the dating of these four vases, it is noted ibid., p. 172, that 'some experts place them after 1680, but the painting styles have similarities with pieces from the 1660's.

Compare also a vase sold in these rooms, 10th May 1994, lot 5; and another, also with a six-character Kangxi reign mark, included in Qing Shunzhi Kangxi chao qinghua ci, vol.1, Beijing, 2005, pl. 297.
