‘Soldier’ Vase. Porcelain decorated in underglaze cobalt blue. Height 92.7 cm. China, Qing dynasty, Kangxi period (1662-1722), circa 1700. Jorge Welsh Oriental Porcelain & Works of Art (stand 210) – TEFAF 2015 Antiques (13-22 March 2015)

Vases of this shape and size are generally referred to as ‘soldier’ or ‘dragoon’ vases. These names derive from a historic exchange between Augustus the Strong, the Elector of Saxony and King of Poland and Lithuania (1670-1733), and the ‘Soldier King’ Friedrich Wilhelm I, King of Prussia (1688-1740) in 1717. Vases of a similar size, shape and decoration were in fact in the Augustus the Strong Collection, seven of which are now in the Zwinger Museum in Dresden.

Four ‘Nodding-Head’ figures. Porcelain decorated in overglaze polychrome enamels, 44.5 x 15 cm. China, Qing dynasty, Qianlong period (1736-1795). Jorge Welsh Oriental Porcelain & Works of Art (stand 210) – TEFAF 2015 Antiques (13-22 March 2015)

Although figures of various dimensions and shapes were frequently made for the export market, it is very rare to find porcelain figures with ‘nodding-heads’. This device is more commonly found on unfired clay models of Chinese people made for the export market, which were produced in different sizes, some with silk clothes and real hair attachments, and representing a variety of ages, occupations and lifestyles. A slightly smaller porcelain ‘nodding-head’ figure of a Chinese man was in the Ionides Collection. An exceptional and large figure of a Chinese lady (106 cm high) is in the RA Collection.

Provenance: Collection of an aristocratic 18th-century Roman Cardinal; By descent through the family
