A fine and large famille rose 'hundred deer' vase, hu, Late Qing dynasty, Qianlong seal mark

A fine and large famille rose 'hundred deer' vase, hu, Late Qing dynasty, Qianlong seal mark

Lot 247. A fine and large famille rose 'hundred deer' vase, hu, Late Qing dynasty, Qianlong seal mark; 43.4cm high. Estimate HK$700,000 - 900,000Sold for HK$ 875,000 (€ 92,298). © Bonhams 2001-2013.

The bulbous body with gently rising shoulder, flanked at the sides with a pair of gilt chidragon handles, the exterior finely painted to a continuous landscape scene with 'one hundred' deer in white, beige and brown in various activities, including prancing in open fields, grazing, eating lingzhi, drinking from a stream, lying at rest, grooming each other, all set in a lush mountainscape with pine trees, fruiting peaches, and lingzhi, the base with a six-character zhuanshu seal mark in underglaze-blue

Note: The Qianlong Emperor lived for a long life of eighty-eight years therefore no surprise that the production of 'hundred deer' vases was much favoured during this period. The current lot which is dated to the late Qing dynasty with a Qianlong seal mark is a fine example in celebration of long life where it would have been offered as Imperial birthday gifts.
