IMAGE GALLERY
Porcelain, painted in underglaze-blue with a scholar being approached by his attendant carrying prunus blossom, the reverse with attendant carrying a Qin and presenting it to a scholar; the bottle of amphora form with an unusual pierced foot and the shoulders with insects in place of mask handles.
Jingdezhen, 1800-1880
Glass, speckled pink sandwiched between two layers of lighter pink, blown into the form of a peach and subsequently carved and polished.
Beijing Glassworks, Qianlong period, 1736-1795
Provenance: Mike Kaynes Collection
The image of a peach was associated with the garden of the Queen Mother of the West, where peaches ripen every 3,000 years and grant immortality. As an emblem of longevity, the peach has always held a place of great importance in Chinese culture.
Porcelain, painted in underglaze red with scenes depicting quails at play, one with a bird flying above the other with a bamboo plant to one side, the other with birds pecking a grain; the base with a four-character mark 'Yongzheng nianzhi' in underglaze blue.
Jingdezhen, 1780-1850
Glass, with blue overlay carved with a crane with a counter in its beak flying beside a pavilion, which is emitted from the mouth of a carp, with a bat above, the reverse with two cranes and rock woark with lingzhi and more circling bats. 1730-1800
Agate, honey colour with natural darker inclusions minimally carved to reveal the silhouette of a scholar inscribing into rockwork, with a tree to one side. 1780-1850
Crystal, clear and well-hollowed out to maximise the amount of snuff to be consumed. 1780-1850
