guan-type glazed, pear-shaped vase, Yongzheng six-character seal mark in underglaze blue and of the period
A fine guan-type glazed pear-shaped vase, Yongzheng six-character seal mark in underglaze blue and of the period (1723-1735). Estimate HK$1,800,000 – HK$2,500,000 ($233,107 – $323,760). Price Realized HK$2,680,000 ($347,211). Photo Christie’s Image Ltd 2014
The vase is finely potted with a pear-shaped body rising from a high cylindrical foot to a tall neck with lipped rim, covered overall with an even opaque celadon glaze of greyish-blue tone, suffused with a wide network of crackles partly stained with russet. The biscuit foot is applied with a purplish-brown dressing. 9 1/2 in. (24 cm.) high, wood stand, Japanese fitted wood box
THE PROPERTY OF A JAPANESE PRIVATE COLLECTION
Notes: The beauty of Song dynasty glazes was greatly admired by the emperors of the Qing dynasty, and the potters at the imperial Jingdezhen kilns were charged with the task of reproducing these glazes on porcelain. The glaze and shape seen on the present lot is an interpretation of Guan ware, one of the most highly sought after and treasured ware of the Song dynasty.
One example of the Song prototype is a Guan vase dated to the Southern Song period, of similar shape as the present vase but with a more compressed body, and covered in a similar crackled celadon glaze but of glassier texture, in the British Museum Collection and illustrated in Song Ceramics, Asahi Shimbun, 1999, no. 63.
On these Song prototypes, the glaze thins to a mushroom colour at the mouth rim while the unglazed foot exposes the purplish-brown body. On the present Qing vase, however, the foot is deliberately applied with a brown wash in imitation of the ‘purple mouth and iron foot’ characteristic of Guan wares.
Compare to a Yongzheng-marked vase of same shape and similar glaze but with a whitish tinge, in the Wang Xing Lou Collection, illustrated in Imperial Perfection: The Palace Porcelain of Three Chinese Emperors , Hong Kong, 2004, pp. 210-1, no. 80. Another similar vase, but bearing a Qianlong reign mark, is in the Zhuyuetang Collection and illustrated in Shimmering Colours, Hong Kong, 2005, no. 98.

A copper-red-glazed pear-shaped vase, yuhuchunping, Qianlong six-character seal mark in underglaze blue and of the period (1736-1795). Estimate HK$2,400,000 – HK$3,500,000($310,000 – $450,000). Photo Christie’s Ltd 2014

blue-glazed, pear-shaped vase, Yongzheng six-character mark and of the period, yuhuchunping
A very rare blue-glazed pear-shaped vase, yuhuchunping, Yongzheng six-character mark and of the period. Sold for £290,500 (€370,819). Photo: Bonhams.
The pear-shaped body sitting on a short splayed foot tapering sharply up to a waisted neck with a wide everted mouth, all covered in a lustrous deep blue glaze, stopping neatly at the white foot and mouth rims. 36cm (14 1/4in) high
Provenance: a German private collection and thence by descent
Notes: The present vase is particularly rare and few examples from the Yongzheng period appear to have been published. The unctuous sacrificial blue glaze became popular from the early Ming period onward, when the Hongwu emperor decreed that ceramic wares should be used for official sacrifices at the Imperial altars, and blue was the prescribed colour for ritual vessels at the Tiantan, 天壇, the Temple of Heaven.
A similar, but smaller, blue-glazed vase, Yongzheng mark and period, in the collection of the National Palace Museum, Taipei, is illustrated in Qingdai Danse You Ciqi Mulu, Catalogue of Qing Dynasty Monochrome Wares, Taipei, 1982, no.37. For another example (28.9cm high) see Shimmering Colours: Monochromes of the Yuan to Qing Periods – The Zhuyuetang Collection, Hong Kong, 2005, pl.57. Compare also a smaller (28.7cm high) blue-glazed vase, Yongzheng mark and of the period, illustrated in Ethereal Elegance: Porcelain Vases of the Imperial Qing, The Huaihaitang Collection, Hong Kong, 2007, pp.112-113, pl.15, and from the same collection a Qianlong seal mark and period example, illustrated ibid., pp.114-115, pl.16; for another Qianlong seal mark and period related example see The Tsui Museum of Art: Chinese Ceramics IV, Hong Kong, 1995, pl.43.
A similar but smaller blue-glazed vase, yuhuchunping, Yongzheng six-character mark and period (29.2cm high), was sold at Christie’s Hong Kong on 29 April 2002, lot 651, and another from the British Rail Pension Fund was sold in the same rooms, on 2 November 1999, lot 585.
