A fine and very rare green-enamelled incised stembowl, Yongzheng six-character sealmark and of the period (1723-1735)
Lot 1361. A fine and very rare green-enamelled incised stembowl, Yongzheng six-character sealmark and of the period (1723-1735); 7 1/4 in. (18.4 cm.) diam. Estimate HKD 600,000 - HKD 800,000. Price realised HKD 1,320,000. © Christie's Images Ltd 2006.
Sturdily potted with flaring sides, finely incised with the bajixiang, each emblem with flowing ribbons and raised on a lotus blossom, above a ruyi band around the base of the bowl and raised on a low pedestal incised with a classic scroll, detached floral sprays and a band of linked triangles, all covered in a rich leaf-green enamel, the reign mark inscribed on the interior of the stem-foot, box.
Provenance: Bluett & Sons, London.
Note: The form of the present lot is very rare, and no other vessel of this shape, design and colour appears to have been published. The closest comparisons are two yellow-enamelled stembowls of this silhouette and similarly incised with the bajixiang, both with Yongzheng marks: the first previously from the collections of Messrs. Sparks and W. A. Younger, illustrated by S. Jenyns, Later Chinese Porcelain, London, 1961, pl. XXXVI, fig. 2; and the other sold in these Rooms, 1 November 2004, lot 1139.
The design of the bajixiang and the shape of the stembowl may be found on a Xuande-marked blue and white prototype in the Percival David Foundation, illustrated by S. Pierson, Designs as Signs, London, 2001, fig. 81.
