Lot 21. A turquoise-ground famille rose twin-handled vase, Jiaqing six-character sealmark in iron-red and of the period (1796-1820); 11 ½ in. (29.2 cm.) high. Estimate GBP 30,000 - GBP 50,000(USD 42,090 - USD 70,150). Price realised GBP 35,000. © Christie's Images Ltd 2018.

The exterior of the vase is densely decorated with colourful lotus blooms, dragons, bats and foliate scrolls, set against a turquoise ground. The neck is applied with a pair of gilt-decorated iron-red dragon handles. The base is enamelled in turquoise.

Provenance: Acquired in Taiwan in the early 2000s.

Note: The vase is decorated with various symbols bearing auspicious meaning. The iconography of bats (representing happiness), scrolling lotus (representing continuity), ruyi-heads (meaning as you wish), combined with two facing dragons (symbolizing a happy reunion), can be read as ‘May happiness and reunion continue for years to come’.
