A famille verte square baluster vase, Kangxi period (1662-1722)

Lot 132. A famille verte square baluster vase, Kangxi period (1662-1722); 47.5cm (18 2/3in) high. Estimate £ 8,000 - 12,000 (€ 9,200 - 14,000)Sold for £ 13,750 (€ 15,794). © Bonhams. 

The stoutly potted body with tapered rectangular sides supporting a waisted cylindrical neck and everted rim, each side painted in bright enamels with mythical and legendary figures including Immortals and elegant ladies, the neck with scholars with a mountainous landscape.

Provenance: an English private collection.

Note: The pictorial panels draw upon conventions in painting and print culture. One side depicts the Emperor Tang Minghuang 唐明皇(685-762) asleep, dreaming of his beloved concubine Yang Guifei 楊貴妃 (719-756), the 'femme fatale' he was forced to execute for her inadvertent role in causing the disastrous An Lushan rebellion. One side depicts the traveller and explorer Zhang Qian on a log raft. The other sides depict various Immortals and the Goddess of the Moon Chang'e, identifiable by the rabbit beside her.
