The kesi technique, likely developed in China during the Tang Dynasty, incorporates cut- silk elements into a pictorial tapestry. Often resembling painted works and including symbols and motifs common to other decorative wares, kesi reached its height of popularity in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Structurally, lots 155 through 157 are exemplary of the high-kesi style: there is clear demarcation between each bright color and textural element. The vibrant compositions are involved and detailed, but the effect is one of overall symmetry. Among the most popular and enduring of all Chinese decorative motifs is the “100 Boys” design. From the Song dynasty to the present day, fine examples of art and decorative wares have featured the image of 100 boys engaged in playful activity throughout an idyllic landscape or interior. Legend attributes their origin to the 100 sons of ancient Zhou dynasty founder Zhou Wenwang. Their lasting appeal, though, comes from the timeless Chinese ideal they represent: numerous healthy and happy heirs. Decorative panels like our lots 155, 156 and 157 are likely to have been presented to - or made in honor of - newlywed couples. 155 Important Chinese “100 Boys” kesi panel early qing dynasty Large panel worked to show assemblage of boys engaged in playful activity among foliage, birds and auspicious creatures in a mountainous landscape with architectural structures below swirling clouds; the whole composition surmounted by a wide band containing a pair of phoenix among auspicious symbols.

426 Fine and rare Chinese archaistic jade vase six character qianlong mark and of the period The large and twin-handled flattened vase subtly carved throughout with a profusion of archaic elements: the ovoid body with wide center band carved with taotie masks, phoenix and qilong heads over an incised diaper ground between geometric-filled lappet bands; rim and foot both carved with greek key bands; freely-carved ring handles supported by highly-detailed elephant heads bearing the joined tusks, expressive eyes and leafy ears typcal to the style; jade of grey celadon hue. H: 11 1/2 in. provenance: Property of a Boston Collector Purchased in China early 20th century and thence by descent $100,000-200,000 Alongside the new, graceful aesthetic developed over the course of the Qianlong Emperorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long reign came a re-interpretation of traditional archaic Chinese design. Lot 426 employs familiar archaic motifs, such as taotie masks and petal lappet bands, but intersperses them with elements that belie its ancient design. Within the wide taotie band encircling the ovoid body of the jade vase are phoenix and qilong heads, stylized lingzhi and scrolling banners replacing the traditional geometric elements common to the original and ritualistic taotie design. The prominent ring handles are a distinct Qianlong period re-interpretation of the traditional mask and ring handle. The detailed elephant heads are proud but subtly whimsical with leafy, cabbage-like ears. A favorite creature of the Qianlong emperor, elephants represented not only power but enduring peace and contentment in the Taoist tradition. Lot 426, replete with tradition, subtlety, whimsy and grace, is a testament to the 18th century period when the art of jade carving reached an unparalleled height.

H: 19 1/4 in. provenance: Property of a Boston Collector See Christie’s Lot 211, March 24, 2004 Estimate upon request During the Qianlong Emperor’s reign, artistic innovation was balanced by emulation of earlier craftsmen. From the same imperial kilns producing archetypal ceramics that would be imitated for centuries came equally fine pieces crafted in the manner of earlier Qing and Ming dynasty masters. Lot 603 is a magnificent example. Not only does the blue and white vase incorporate stylistic elements from the period, it replicates a visual effect - or defect, essentially - occurring only on earlier porcelain. The stippled “heaping and piling” that occurred on early Ming wares as a result of the reaction of less-refined cobalt blues during the firing process, was eradicated at good kilns by the 18th century. As an emblematic characteristic of Ming blue and white wares, though, heaping and piling was considered a desirable feature. The painter, therefore, took on the laborious task of recreating the effect spot-by-spot. The endeavor was indisputably successful, resulting in a worthy tribute to imperial Ming blue and white porcelain wares. In a period when the finest craftsmen were known for creating illusory effects on porcelain such as faux bois and faux stone, lot 603 also stands as a magnificent example of the distinctive artfulness and skill employed at Qianlong’s imperial kiln.
