A LIFETIME PASSION FOR CHINESE ART 與中國藝術結緣的一生
Along with my law studies at the end of the 1950s, I developed a keen interest in Chinese Art. At that time, I was lucky to have two family members who were active in the art market. So, it was quite naturally that, upon the completion of my Law degree, I began to travel around Europe in search of rare and curious Chinese porcelains and works of art. In London, I had the opportunity to converse with some of the best antique dealers of that time, and was introduced to imperial porcelains. These antique dealers were generous to share with me their passion and knowledge about crucial details to look for when studying a work of art. It was in the 1960s, and there were only a few who took a genuine interest in these astounding pieces at that time. The time I was in London and Paris, I frequented dealers and collectors including Bluett, Spinks and Sparks, C.T. Loo, Langweil and L. Wannieck. I am still immensely grateful for their tremendous help and encouragement until this day. 1964, I opened my first gallery in rue de Beaune in Paris, which moved to rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in 1998. Since then, I have been collecting some of the best Chinese antiques with my daughter, Anne. These years, I have had the opportunity to donate and loan my collections to the British Museum, the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford, the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Tsui Museum of Art in Hong Kong. Mr. Tsui is a great connoisseur and collector who was very kind to consider me as one of the top antique dealers alongside Giuseppe Eskenazi, J.J. Lally and Richard Marchant in an interview with Orientations in 1989 (quoted again in Orientations in 2010). As an anecdote, whenever Mr. Tsui visited Paris, my family and I would welcome him to our home. Our mutual interest in Chinese art led to endless joyful conversations of knowledge exchange. For many years, I was an expert of Chinese art at the Biennale in Paris and the Brafa Art Fair in Brussels (Belgium). Today, I am an active member at the Belgian Institute of Higher Chinese Studies. Anne and I currently maintain privileged relations with the Guimet Museum in Paris. We are major donors and regularly lend our collections for exhibitions at the museum. In 2019, our collections were featured in Guimet Museum’s exhibition, titled A Porcelain Firmament, from China to Europe. I will soon be turning 85 this year. All my life, nothing has made me happier than studying China, its values, cultures and art. I hope that I can share with you my passion with my collection that has remained close and precious to my for over 40 years. Michel Duchange, 2021

50年代末我正在修讀法律，同時也開始培養出對中國藝術的濃厚興趣。那時候我 家裡有兩位親人從事藝術品交易行業，因此，完成學業以後，我隨即周遊歐洲尋 找稀有、有趣的中國藝術品。我有幸在倫敦認識當地資深的古董商人，向他們虛 心請教，漸漸學者帶有底款的御製官窯瓷器。這些古董商人毫不吝嗇，熱心地向 我分享他們的知識，亦教導我辨別瓷器的技巧。可知道在60年代，有興趣研究官 窯瓷器的人寥寥可數。我經常到拜訪倫敦頂級的中國藝術品收藏家Bluett和Spinks and Sparks 等，以及巴黎的盧芹齋、朗威爾夫人和L. Wannieck夫人。現在，我仍 然很感激這些良朋益友，他們曾經為我提供過無數的幫助和鼓勵，讓我在之後的 收藏之路上有著莫大裨益。 1964年，我在巴黎博納大街開設了自己的中國藝術畫廊，直到1998年搬到聖奧 諾雷市郊路。自此，我和女兒安妮積極地收集頂級的中國藝術品。這些年來，我 有機會向大英博物館、牛津的阿什莫林博物館、克利夫蘭藝術博物館和香港的 徐氏藝術博物館出售重要的作品。徐展堂先生是一位偉大的鑒賞家和收藏家。 徐展堂先生在1989年接受《Orientations》的訪問時，他把我與朱塞佩．埃斯肯 納齊（Giuseppe Eskenazi）、藍理捷（J.J. Lally）及理查．馬錢特（Richard Marchant）並列，我實在愧不敢當 （引自《Orientations》2010）。還記得徐展 堂先生當年每次到訪巴黎，必定到我家作客，我們對中國藝術品有著同樣奔放的 熱情，總是有著談不完的話題。 多年來，我有幸擔任巴黎雙年展（Biennale）、比利時藝術和古董展覽會（Brafa Art Fair）的專家。現在，我是比利時高等漢學研究院（Belgian Institute of Higher Chinese Studies）的成員，和女兒一直都與巴黎吉美國立亞洲藝術博物館保持 聯絡，定期出借家族藏品。我們最近一次參與的項目，是2019年《A Porcelain Firmament, from China to Europe》的展覽。 我今年將85歲，在這一生裡，沒有什麼比漢學研究能讓我感到如此快樂的了。我 希望這次透過這批收藏了40年多的藏品，可以與你們分享我的熱誠。

Pipa , also known as the loquat fruit is shaped like a lute and has a vibrant golden-yellow coat, symbolizing affluence and auspiciousness. Whereas the pomegranate often indicates a wish for plentiful offsprings, and the peach is a popular allegory for a good long life. The present lot is likely made to be used, or for an imperial birthday celebration. Meticulous details signify a novel advancement in the porcelain industry during the Qianlong reign. It is extremely difficult to find a similar item. For reference, see a jade snuff box in the form of a peach, a collection in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, exhibited in Lifting the Spirit and Body: The Art and Culture of Snuff Bottles , National Palace Museum, Taipei, 2012, p. 230, no. IV-007. See another example from the collection of Sakamoto Goro, sold in Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 27 May 2014, lot 123. Similar motifs of loquat and pomegranate painted in enamels could be found on Yixing wares and porcelains, including several pieces of Yixing tea bowls in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, specifically a Yixing tea bowl with fruits and flowers painted in enamels, Kangxi period. Also, a pair of famille-rose ‘sanduo’ cups, Yongzheng period, from the collection of E. T. Chow, sold at Poly Beijing, 19 October 2019, lot 5037.
鼻煙壺以涅白料為材，仿生巧製為桃形，壺形略扁，小巧玲瓏。鼻煙壺 以料仿生雕枝幹，以金彩為地，琺瑯彩裝飾，鼻煙壺底部以胭脂紅點染 出深淺濃淡的斑點，以致外表由淡黃漸至粉紅，從而使果實甘熟欲滴的 質感彰顯無遺。自壺口生長枝葉，配枝幹形蓋鈕，枝蔓繁茂蜿蜒，一面 自口沿生長出石榴枝葉，並於口部長出熟透的石榴果實，及未開放的石 榴花朵。另一面石榴花枝茂盛。更見數蝙蝠點綴其上，穿梭於碩大綠葉 之間，雙凝而視。蓋鈕以仿翠料器為材，取枝幹之形，與壽桃造型相迎 而合。 石榴多子，象徵多子多孫，子孫興旺；壽桃相傳為西王母所賜，集三千 年日月精華才花開結果，食者延年益壽，故壽桃代表長壽，壺身飛舞的 紅蝠，代表「多福」之意，因此此盈手可玩的小巧之物暗含「多壽、多 子、多福」之美好寓意。
A Yixing tea bowl with fruits and flowers painted in enamels, Kangxi period The National Palace Museum, Taipei 清康熙 宜興紫砂胎畫琺瑯三花三果紋碗 臺北故宮博物院藏
此鼻煙壺構思巧妙，將多種美好寓意通過造型、紋飾完美的融合為一 體，十分少見。器身所用的琺瑯彩裝飾又是清宮如意館中的技巧。此琺 瑯彩用彩明快，料中油膩感十足，紋飾及造型仿生極為準確。從石榴果 實的立體效果來看，與康熙雍正本朝的瓷胎琺瑯彩紋飾十分相似，當時 甚有可能有西洋畫師的參與。 本品之工，即見乾隆官作之巔峰技藝。本品或用作祝壽之用。檢閱各大 公私收藏，可比之例不多，參考台北故宮博物院藏二例，壽桃形玉鼻煙 盒，雕壽桃蝙蝠，展覽於《通嚏輕揚：鼻煙壺文化特展》，臺北故宮博 物院，台北，2012年，頁230，編號IV-007；玻璃胎亦飾琺瑯彩福壽鼻煙 壺，錄於《故宮鼻煙壺》，臺北故宮博物院，台北，1992年，編號31。 另見坂本五郎珍藏一琥珀之例，售於香港蘇富比，2014年5月27日，編號 123。 本品所繪紋飾為如意館畫琺瑯，陰暗透視極強，亦可見康熙、雍正其他 材質作品。臺北故宮藏有數件清康熙宜興紫砂胎琺瑯彩；其中一隻清康 熙宜興胎畫琺瑯三花三果紋碗中石榴、壽桃畫法與本件類似，可作參 考。另參考仇焱之舊藏清雍正粉彩三多紋杯一對，售於北京保利，2020 年10月19日，編號5037。其畫法經過層層渲染，效果立體，與本品可相 比擬。

Similar Yongzheng period enamelled glass pieces are uncommon, with a ‘chilong ’ themed water pot as an exception, sold in Poly Beijing, 7 June 2015, lot 776. The present lot is a true masterpiece which exemplifies stylistic features that are consistent with works from the Yongzheng reign as inscribed. Glass wares were deeply favoured by emperors Kangxi and Yongzheng. In the past, the German Jesuit missionary, Father Kilian Stumpf (1655-1720) was appointed by Emperor Kangxi to supervise the establishment of the Imperial Glassworks. The bureau was responsible for the production, maintenance and collection of imperial glass ware. Workshops under the Imperial Glassworks were initially located in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Yangxindian , and was later relocated to the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility, Cininggong , and the Garden of Perfect Brightness, Yuanmingyuan respectively. The Imperial Glassworks operated continuously during the Qianlong period and through the successive reigns until the fall of the Qing court, when it finally ceased operation. Particularly, works made in the Yongzhong period such as the present lot are known for their articulate details. Application of an enamel overlay on top of a glass surface is inspired by the process of filling enamel on bronze surfaces. The demanding nature of this process is further heightened when executed on a glass surface, which is why the technology was only reserved for imperial workshops. Design drafts were first drawn by court artists, they were then presented to the emperor for approval, then, sent to imperial workshops for the object to be made. The production process of enamelled glass ware was unprecedentedly intricate that only precision could be accommodated. Especially the temperature that the piece was fired in must be moderated accurately. Therefore, it is extremely challenging to produce any enamelled glass ware, even more so, to find a piece as impeccable as the present lot.
水丞扁圓形，溜肩鼓腹平底，涅白料胎上繪琺瑯彩。玻璃胎光滑亮潔， 溫潤如玉，繪畫筆法細膩傳神。器身以琺瑯彩畫繩紋開光，外壁飾上下 部分仿繩紋，做工細緻逼真，繩紋交織成銅錢形繩結，細微處頗見匠心 巧思。開光內見紅、藍、綠彩所繪成的仿古夔龍紋。器底以藍彩繪六瓣 式如意形團花紋，中央紅彩書「雍正年製」四字雙行楷書款。 器身各色夔龍首尾交接，互相交融，圓轉綿延。夔龍皆頭部碩大，眼若 銅鈴，鼻如山巒，威風凜凜。姿態各異，氣韻交疊，層次豐富，顏色耀 目奪人，為典型的雍正時期琺瑯料色彩，給審視者以氣勢磅礡，英氣 逼人之感。雍正朝玻璃的藝術風格以精細為其特色，兼具康熙朝玻璃之 「渾樸簡古」風格。 雍正一朝的料製琺瑯器甚為罕見，翻閱公私收藏記錄，僅見一例售於北 京保利，2015年6月7日，編號7768。本品不單帶有雍正年款，且紋飾、 藝術風格及琺瑯用色均與雍正一朝相呼應，足見本品是極為重要的雍正 料器琺瑯彩代表物，真絕罕見。 康、雍二帝都喜歡玻璃，康熙帝命日爾曼傳教士紀里安神父指導創建蠶 池口玻璃廠，該玻璃廠如其他御用作坊一樣，由內務府造辦處管轄，負 責製作、維修、保管皇家器物。內務府為清代最大的政府機構，轄下造 辦處的主要作坊最初設於養心殿，1691年大部份遷到慈甯宮後，仍沿用 舊稱「養心殿造辦處」。雍正帝將蠶池口玻璃廠遷至圓明園六所，然而 蠶池口的玻璃廠並沒有停產，直至乾隆朝1758年以後。 玻璃料胎畫琺瑯是由銅胎畫琺瑯發展而來，但比銅胎或瓷胎琺瑯來說， 技術要求極高，是宮廷作坊獨有的技術，而產品非皇家不能擁有。宮廷 畫家和設計師做好設計圖案後先要呈交皇上批閱，待皇帝首肯後方能交 內府琺瑯廠燒製。玻璃熔點比琺瑯低，要將琺瑯裝飾熔貼在玻璃器表需 要極豐富的經驗和技巧。溫度太低，琺瑯紋飾無法熔貼，溫度過高，不 但玻璃熱熔，顏色也會燒焦，琺瑯還會有氣泡。要使得料胎琺瑯器紋飾 極盡精美，圖案精細，顏色自然淡雅，是無數經驗累積的成果。 內廷玻璃廠自康熙朝成立至雍正末年的五十年間是興盛期。本品玻璃胎 潤白如玉，器上的琺瑯彩展現了清雍正發展出來的豐富顏色系列，圖案 構圖巧妙，畫功純熟，筆觸細膩精確，正是雍正宮廷玻璃製作顛峰時期 的體現。

The present lot was initially part of a set of three items alongside a vase and a box, and was used as an incense burner in the court. Yellow glass wares were strictly reserved for the royal household and there are only very few existing. An incense burner with a pair of peculiarly shaped handles are particularly outstanding. See a similar example sold in Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 28 April 1998, lot 907; a realgar-imitation glass one sold in Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 3 October 2017, lot 3009.

A BAMBOO-VENEER 'DRAGON' AND 'ANBAXIAN' BOX AND COVER QING DYNASTY, QIANLONG PERIOD
貼竹簧嵌銅鎏金靈芝紋扣暗八仙海水雲龍紋書盒
清乾隆
Rectangular box with a layer of bamboo-veneer on all sides completed with a gilt-bronze plate and lock. A scene of waves and cliffs finely carved on the bamboo-veneer in low relief, the plate and the lock incised with lingzhi and floral motifs. The front and the back with anbaxian [the eight immortals’ symbols], the overall design further embellished with auspicious clouds all throughout. Waves and cliffs designs are typically seen in collections of the Qing imperial court, but the two dragons parallel against each other show that the decorative scheme is of the highest ranking even within the court.

Made specifically to store album leaves for Emperor Qianlong, the intricate designs are made from carving and attaching pieces of bamboo onto a wooden body. A bottom layer with a softer and lighter tone, and a dyed top carved in relief. Altogether heightening the sense of reality from the relief and the use of light and shades. Bamboo-veneer is more commonly seen on smaller objects because of its high production cost. From processing the raw material to executing design drafts onto the surface, it was a time-consuming process that required a lot of manpower. At that time, only the imperial court could afford a luxurious craft of this quality. The bamboo-veneer originated in early Qing dynasty, by the siblings, Shi Xueting and Shi Jue . The first step to making bamboo-veneer is to harvest the yellowish inner skin of a bamboo. Afterwards, the skin is soaked in water, then flattened, and is eventually adhered onto a wooden or bamboo surface to be carved in low or high relief. After the Shi siblings, the craft was inherited by seven consecutive generations within the Shi family who was eager to seek new inspirations endlessly.
此件貼竹簧書盒為乾隆時期宮廷內專門用於存貯冊頁的套盒，呈長方 形，折頁開合。通體木胎包鑲竹簧為飾，以淺色層為底，上以染作深色 之竹簧片嵌粘雕刻，構成紋飾，紋飾上又施以陰刻，形成了典型的三層 花的裝飾。盒面為清代宮廷常見的海水江崖，其上有雙龍盤旋，立於海 水之上。這是清代御用之物中等級最高的紋飾。書盒正面正中嵌有銅鎏 金及背面嵌有檔板，其上暗刻靈芝及卷草紋。盒身四面同樣貼竹簧裝 飾，正面及背面刻劃暗八仙，側面裝飾雲福紋。 整器造型方正，線條勻細流暢，刻工精緻，深棕色的竹簧色澤與淺黃色 木色相互映襯，增加了盒身的裝飾效果。 竹黃器物傳世的多為小件，像本品這樣大件的書盒類較為罕見。由於竹 黃對工藝的苛刻要求，以及對時間、勞力、財力等多方面的消耗都很 大，故只有皇家造辦處才能承辦此類器物。這件百寶匣完美地詮釋了匠 人獨到的構思及製作工藝，充分彰顯出了皇家氣韻。 竹黃，又稱「貼簧」或「文竹器」，因其將竹材內壁中的竹簧翻轉過來 進行雕刻，故又有「翻簧」或「反簧」之稱。大約創於清代早期，時學 庭、時珏兄弟開創「貼簧」，製作工藝複雜，把竹筠割下，浸泡燙平， 貼在器物上，然後在竹簧上作淺刻、深刻、浮雕。時家竹刻技藝傳承至 七代，十分罕見。

The literati class was particularly fond of bamboo-veneer items. Not only because they were elegant adornments that are pragmatic in the scholar’s studio, more importantly, the bamboo resonates with virtues of the resilient Confucian scholar. During the reign of Qianlong, the craft flourished. Local gazetteers noted the prevalence of the craft in scholars’ studios, and the politician and philosopher Ji Xiaolan (1724-1805) even dedicated an ode to the beauty of the bamboo-veneer craft. Bamboos of various qualities were all potential materials to make quality bamboo-veneer. In fact, during the Qing dynasty, bamboos were locally sourced by craftsman in the area and the craft was sought by many in the local market. The Qianlong emperor’s enthusiasm in the crafts encouraged the production of bamboo-veneer boxes, jars as well as imitations of archaic bronze ding and gu food and wine vessels. These are the best quality works with the most innovation. Ensuing the Qianlong reign, the imperial court workshops dominated the production of bamboo-veneers and the quality and quantity of the craft eventually declined. As a result, bamboo-veneers are not frequently seen in the art market and are often highly prized. Based on the articulated reliefs and the overall sophisticated composition, the present lot was likely used as a storage box within the palace.
貼竹簧較受文人墨客的青睞，作為文房清供，不僅可欣賞具有象牙黃般 的古樸典雅，還以竹子般孤傲清冷來明志。至乾隆時期，竹簧工藝發展 到了高峰，據乾隆時期的《虎丘志》稱，竹刻「從嘉定轉徙於山塘， 凡筆筒、界方、墨床之類，為文房雅玩，多以鐵筆雕刻書畫，有以竹里 為之者，名曰翻簧。」又據《竹雲錄》跋云：「清季道咸以後，漸尚貼 簧。」紀曉嵐詩曰：「憑君熨貼平，展出分明看；本自汗青材，裁為幾 上器；周旋翰墨間，猶得近文字」。 竹簧工藝，將竹節內壁約3毫米厚的黃色皮層，切割下來，經蒸煮軟化後 翻轉壓平，粘貼於木製器物胎骨上，再經磨光並雕刻花紋，其風格光潔清 雅，格調接近象牙雕刻，且能不受竹材的局限，製作各種類型的器物，故 自清初興起以後，在主要產地，如福建上杭、四川江安、湖南邵陽、浙江 黃岩及嘉定等地，日漸流行，甚至有取代傳統竹雕工藝的趨勢。這種工藝 製品自然也曾進入宮中，而且還得到了乾隆皇帝的喜愛，並加以提倡。宮 中檔案一般稱其為「文竹」，以標舉其較之普通地方竹雕品更高的審美品 位。從今天傳世作品看來，當時的宮廷文竹製作包括了形狀不一的盒、 罐、盤及仿生器具、仿古鼎、觚及各式文具、陳設等品類，其工藝水平之 高，遠遠超過地方產品。而這個製作高峰持續時間卻並不長，乾隆朝以後 由宮廷主導的文竹製作似乎很快即陷於低潮，因此這類作品傳世數量不 多，且大都收藏於故宮等大型博物館中，其精品在市場上難得一見。而此 盒就風格、水準等方面看來，應為清中期由宮廷定制或地方進獻的高檔文 竹器物。像這樣器形規整而形體較大，工藝精美而保存完好，紋飾細膩而 又處處不失規矩的作品，實在是難能可貴。

Breece III, sold at Christie's New York, on 18 September 2003, lot 380. The Fonthill Heirlooms remains one of the most facinating groups of Imperial Qing porcelain and works of art formed by a European in the 19th Century. It was originally collected by Alfred Morrison, the London-based Member of Parliament, who was an active purchaser during the last decades of the 19th Century, when Chinese and Japanese art were both culturally very much at the forefront of aesthetic tastes as pioneered by artistic taste-formers like James Whistler and Oscar Wilde, and also available in rather larger quantities than previously. The Fonthill Heirlooms became particularly well-known because Alfred Morrison was apparently able to buy a substantial quantity of Chinese art from Lord Loch of Drylaw.
洗心白釉為地，飾以粉彩雙色石榴花紋，花蕊瑰麗飽滿，枝蔓婉轉舒 暢，內外壁皆以松石綠釉為地，以纏枝西番蓮紋裝飾，口沿兩道金彩弦 紋，尤顯富麗堂皇，華美雍容之感盡顯其間。底心以礬紅彩書「浩然堂 製」四字雙行楷書款。帶影木座。 本品為嘉慶、道光朝堂名款彩瓷佳作，應為宮廷王府定燒上品，敷彩華 麗，色澤鮮明，宮廷氣息濃厚，彩釉細膩，紋飾華美，洋彩意味濃厚， 極具宮廷氣息。「浩然堂製」款瓷器傳世有一定數量，但多數為單色 釉及青花器，彩繪作品較為罕見，如本品般具有宮廷洋彩風格者尤為少 見，彌足珍罕，殊堪寶藏。 見一近例售於倫敦邦翰斯，2018年6月19日，編號268。類似花紋洗，亦 見於James E. Breece 三世舊藏，售於紐約佳士得專拍，2003年9月18 日，編號380。 「放山居」(Fonthill House)位於英格蘭西南部的威爾特郡，毗鄰聞名遐 邇的放山修道院(Fonthill Abbey)，至今已經有超過150年的歷史。這裏原 本是19世紀英國首富詹姆斯．莫里森(James Morrison)的一座鄉村私邸。 當中大部分藏品都是莫里森的次子阿爾弗雷得(Alfred Morrison)所購藏。 性格閑逸的阿爾弗雷得尤其熱愛中國藝術品，並特意聘請了當時國際知 名的建築師琼斯(Owen Jones)在Fonthill Heirlooms專門設計了一間「中 國房」，用於陳列中國藝術品。「放山居」舊藏只要在市場出現，均會 引起熱烈的關注。

The rim of the vase is carefully sculpted to resemble the form of the ruyi which was painted rhythmically to encircle the mouth. A slender neck extends elegantly towards the foot ring, halfway meeting what appears to be a piece of fabric wrapped around the vase. A prominent decoration on the vase that models the form of a ribbon-tied pouch and is brilliantly recreated on a porcelain surface. Throughout the surface are floral motifs in fencai glaze painted on a turquoise-glazed ground. A six-character Qianlong reign mark is inscribed at the base. Based on the scarcity of similar works, vases like the present lot are highly prized and are of monumental significance. H 30.5cm HK$ 1,000,000 - 1,500,000 US$ 129,000 - 193,000

The present lot is akin to the type of vessels recorded by Tang Ying ’s successor, Ilingga (?-1795), in a list of items to be sent to Chunhuaxuan in Yuanmingyuan . In fact, prior to Ilingga , the superintendent Tang Ying (1682-1756) had already spoken of incorporating enamel, Western artistic features and subject matters onto the surface of the Chinese porcelain. Porcelains that exhibit these features are categorized as yangcai porcelains. Decorations on the present lot exemplify these European artistic features, particularly with the use of light and shadow that clearly resembles the chiaroscuro painting technique. Similar works are hardly found in the art market or in museum collections. A very close example was sold in Poly Beijing, 5 June 2019, lot 5412. See a turquoise-ground example in the collection of The Palace Museum in Beijing, illustrated in Selected Porcelain of the Flourishing Qing Dynasty at the Palace Museum, the Palace Museum , Beijing, 1994, no. 23.

The Duchange Family Collection of Important Chinese Art I 懷藏日月：法國杜尚家族藏重要中國藝術珍品（一）
The brilliantly painted interior indicates that imperial kilns at that time have reached a new height in terms of craftsmanship and innovation. Painted from the perspective of the ‘bird’s eye view’, the scene is richly depicted with pavilions, mountains and streams. Roofs of pavilions emerge from within the misty mountains and are articulately drawn. Travelers are seen dwelling by the pond, in the pavilion, and along the mountain path. In the pond, a fisherman sails. Craftsmen have successfully transcribed conventional landscape painting styles onto a new, porcelain medium. Under the supervision of Tang Ying (1682-1756), a unique batch of porcelains adorned with elaborate natural landscapes with pavilions and mountains were introduced. There are approximately only twenty similar works in the forms of bowls, vases, dishes and jars in the National Palace Museum in Taipei and The Palace Museum in Beijing. Qianlong Emperor’s enthusiasm in material culture also played a crucial role in facilitating innovative designs on porcelains. Designs were often inspired by antiquity and European decorative elements, and later painted with a variety of imported glazes. A landscape with mountains and waters resonates with what Tang Ying alluded in Tao Cheng Jishi Beiji as an “imitation of the brush stroke [in landscape paintings].” This lot is considered as an exemplary representative among similar styles of porcelains. Architectural elements are drawn to precision with the assistance of drawing tools. They are further adorned with vibrant glazes which completes the overall design. Rooftops of the pavilions in the painting reveal that the portrayed elements are in fact, palatial architecture. Painting techniques and styles demonstrated on this porcelain work show possible influence from the court painter Yuan Jiang (1671-1746), who was known for his jiehua paintings [also known as ruled-lined paintings or boundary paintings]. An example could be drawn from Yuan Jiang ’s painting titled The Summer Rain Longs to Arrive and the Four Scenes of Yangzhou album.

The delicately painted flowers and butterflies on the rim are special and uncommon, compare to a pair of famille-rose ‘butterfly’ double-gourd vases, sold at Christie’s London, 9 May 2017, lot 99. It is also unusual to see motif of ‘phoenix and sun’ decorated in pink-enamel on the interior. The emergence of landscape themes on porcelains exemplifies yet another achievement of the porcelain industry. In the past when there was only a simple selection of painting materials and resources, Chinese cultural elements could only be transcribed onto the porcelain medium to a limited extent. In fact, the porcelain innovation which features architectural landscapes is associated with the character of Tang Ying . Tang Ying was an educated elite himself, and was familiar with the arts of the literati. He was keen to promote literati culture within the porcelain industry and had eventually integrated the two, as exemplified by the present lot. Compare a late Qing yangcai ‘landscape’ two-handled vase from the collection of the Qing Kuan family, sold in Poly Auction Beijing, 8 December 2018, lot 5421. Compare a pair of pink-ground famille-rose ‘landscape’ vases from the collection of J.T. Tai, sold in Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 7 October 2010, lot 2130. One other example of a ‘landscape’ themed porcelain made in Tang Ying ’s time was in the collections of Wong Kai Zu, Charles Russel, Paul and Helen Bernat, and now in the collection of Alan Chuang. The same piece was illustrated in Julian Thompson’s The Alan Chuang Collection of Chinese Porcelain , Hong Kong, 2009, pl. 101, sold in Sotheby’s London, 25 June 1946, lot 79, then in Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 5 November 1988, lot 52, and Christie’s Hong Kong, 29 April 2001, lot 516.

Another example that is a brush pot was exhibited in Oriental Ceramics Society, China Without Dragons , Sotheby’s London, 2016, no. 205, also on the cover. Landscape decorations on porcelains resemble landscape paintings of the contemporaneous age. Compare a collection in The Palace Museum in Beijing which depicts an autumnal scenery, illustrated in Peter Y.K. Lam, “Tang Ying [1682-1756]. The Imperial Factory Superintendent at Jingdezhen,” Transactions of the Oriental Ceramic Society , vol. 63, 1998-1999, p. 75, fig. 9.
界畫山水樓閣題材的出現是瓷器繪畫藝術與中國傳統繪畫技法又一次成 功深入結合的結果，是文人意蘊於瓷藝上日益增強的標誌。在此以前， 由於繪畫材質、顏料所限，瓷畫技法只是有限地借鑒和融入中國傳統繪 畫的部分，界畫的引入得益於唐英的努力嘗試和宣導。唐英才情四溢， 精通書畫翰墨之事，榷陶期間力求文人之雅與瓷藝完美結合，相互輝 映。本品繪畫題材與技法使用皆蕩漾出濃厚的文人意蘊，折射出唐英榷 陶以後景德鎮瓷壇藝術的深刻轉變。 參考晚清內務府慶寬家族舊藏一例，清乾隆粉彩山水樓閣如意萬代耳琵 琶尊，售於北京保利2018年12月8日，編號5421；戴潤齋舊藏一例，清 乾隆粉紅地「錦上添花」粉彩通景「山水庭廓」圖雙耳撇口瓶一對，售 於香港蘇富比2010年10月7日，編號2130。 其他唐英製山水紋器例，其一曾屬Wong Kai Zu、Charles Russell、Paul 及Helen Bernat伉儷收藏，錄於《香港蘇富比二十年》，香港，1993 年，圖版294。莊紹綏曾雅蓄一例，展於朱湯生，《中國瓷器—莊紹綏收 藏》，香港，2009年，編號101，售於香港佳士得2018年11月28日，編 號2802；另見一筆筒例，曾展於東方陶瓷學會，《龍隱：東方陶瓷學會 會員稀珍藏品展》，倫敦蘇富比，2016年，編號205，亦見封面。 此類山水紋飾畫風與唐英山水畫作遙遙呼應，比較北京故宮博物院收 藏一例，描繪秋景，圖載於林業強，〈Tang Ying [1682-1756]. The Imperial Factory Superintendent at Jingdezhen〉，《Transactions of the Oriental Ceramic Society》，期63，1998-9年，頁75，圖9。 此外，本品折沿之上所繪十二隻形態各不相同的蝴蝶，所用技法亦可參考一 對清乾隆洋彩如意耳蝴蝶瓶，售於倫敦佳士得2017年5月9日，編號99。盤 沿所繪紋飾亦較為特別，以胭脂紅彩軋道裝飾為地飾番蓮紋，內開光以胭脂 紅繪夔鳳逐日，是乾隆御宮中少見的裝飾，見其級別之高。紋飾層次分明， 點綴夔鳳，可以推測此盤應為後宮佳器。

A FINE AND EXTREMELY RARE IMPERIAL DOUCAI AND FAMILLE-ROSE 'ANBAXIAN' OCTAGONAL VASE MARK AND PERIOD OF QIANLONG
「大清乾隆年製」
御製鬥彩加粉彩暗八仙福壽紋八方盤口大瓶
清乾隆
An octagonal vase with a splayed foot and a galleried mouth rim. An articulately proportioned body that gradually rises to a slightly rounded shoulder and further extends to the neck to reach the rim. The vase is divided into six sections that are connected with rounded protruding horizontal bands. Six sets of doucai and fencai decorative schemes fill the surface of the vase. The rim painted in gilt, the adjacent surface decorated with floral motifs accompanied by multiple ‘shou (longevity)’ medallions. Floral motifs then extend downwards to the neck which is adorned with five bats on clouds, lingzhi and peaches. Symbols for the ‘Eight Immortals’ occupy the middle area that is vertically divided into eight sections. These symbols are depicted alongside the floral ground. They include Han Zhongli ’s fan, Zhang Guolao ’s fish drum, He Xiangu ’s lotus flower, Lan Caihe ’s flower basket, Li Tieguai ’s gourd, Cao Guojiu ’s castanets, Lu Dongbin ’s sword and Han Xiangzi ’s flute. Floral decorative elements continue towards the foot, and the turquoise-glazed base is inscribed with a six-character Qianlong reign mark in iron-red glaze. The present lot is a richly adorned vase that encompasses auspicious messages of longevity and fortune. The vase is of superb quality and is likely personally designed by the superintendent Tang Ying (1682-1756) for the celebration of Wanshoujie in the palace. Currently, there is no known piece alike. Porcelains made under the supervision of Tang Ying can be classified into three categories. Most of the works designed by Tang Ying belong to the first category which consists of porcelains produced specifically for use within the imperial palace. The second category are porcelains made for rituals and worship. The third, items gifted to friends and for Tang Ying’s personal use. Usually, the most outstanding works are found to be used within the imperial palace, particularly larger sized objects such as the vase in discussion, are mainly put on display.

Majority of Qianlong duocai porcelains are comparatively more petite in scale and often take the forms of dishes, bowls and jars. Doucai vases occupy a minority of Qianlong imperial wares and octagonal vases are rarely available. The present lot is a quintessence of Qianlong imperial ware. A Qianlong ‘Eight Immortals’ Vase from the Shanghai Museum is closely associated with the present lot, illustrated in Gems from the Collection of Shanghai Museum , Shanghai Museum, Shanghai, 2004, fig. 132. There is an undeniable resemblance between the shape, size and structure of the two works, with the exception of stylistic discrepancies on the painted images and colours of glazes used. The vase from the museum collection depicts the ‘eight immortals’ as human figures, whereas the ‘eight immortals’ are represented by their respective treasures on the present lot. Symbolic parallels presented by the two vases suggest a close production date or a common source of inspiration. The ‘eight immortals’ symbols encompass the wish for longevity. Qianlong period porcelains with the ‘eight immortals’ symbols are more often found in dishs. Vases are not commonly ornamented with these emblems, but a Qianlong tianqiuping with an identical symbolic motif from the Philbrook Museum of Art in Oklahoma was sold in Christie’s Hong Kong, 30 May 2018, lot 8888 at 130 million HKD. Symbols of the ‘eight immortals’ are more often found with wares in other forms, one example is a Daoguang ‘Eight Immortals’ dish that was made deliberately for the Wanshoujie Festival that celebrates longevity. See Zhao Congyue, Porcelains with Inscription of Shendetang Collected by the Palace Museum , Beijing, 2014, pl. 2. The present lot is outstanding for its meticulous design. The design scheme consists of secondary decorative elements such as the ‘shou ’ characters, lotuses, peaches, bats, and auspicious clouds that are in dialogue with the central ‘Eight Immortals’ theme. These symbols complement each other and accentuate the implied wishes for a pleasant and a long life.
乾隆帝，論鑒寶藏古、好物興藝，堪稱歷代國君之冠。 此瓶成於景德鎮 御窯廠，器型恢宏，鬥彩巧綴粉彩，錦上添花，祥瑞滿溢，應為唐英給 乾隆萬壽節賀壽所製。未見它例有錄，疑為傳世孤品。 本品當為雍乾時期督陶官唐英所督製。但凡講起中國御窯瓷器的燒造歷 史，就不得不提到其中最重要的人物—唐英。唐英字俊公，號蝸居老 人、陶成居士，堂號陶成堂，瀋陽人，漢軍正白旗，生於康熙二十一年 （1682年），卒於乾隆二十一年（1756年），自雍正六年（1728年）佐 理窯務，先後榷窯二十餘年，是御窯廠歷史上督窯時間最長、成就最高 的督陶官，督陶所制史稱「唐窯」。 唐英在景德鎮督窯期間監督燒造的器物可分三類：第一類即是大宗供御瓷 器，每年由唐英監督燒造上供宮廷。按清檔記載，其中不乏唐英親自設計 的創新品種，如八方瓶、轉心瓶、甲子萬年筆筒等。第二類是唐英供奉廟 宇神靈的供器，由爐、花觚、燭台組成五供成套使用，皆為青花作品。第 三類是唐英自用或為友人訂燒的作品。此三類中最為矚目者，當屬此類陳 設大器，工藝水平極高，燒制難度極大，實為唐英時期炫技之作。 乾隆年間燒製的鬥彩瓷器多為盤、碗、罐等小件，花瓶等立件品類本來 就不多，以八方瓶作器形者則更稀有。本件瓷器在乾隆御瓷中屬極為罕 有的華麗清雅之作，上海博物館藏有一件清乾隆景德鎮窯粉彩八仙人物 圖瓶，與本品極有關聯，錄於《上海博物館藏品精華》，上海，2004 年，圖132，其形制、尺寸及結構皆與本品十分相近，只是用色和圖案 有所差別。館方一器為明八仙，而本品為暗八仙，但八仙所繪的位置相 同，一明一暗，互相呼應，暗示兩者當時極有可能是同一時期燒造，或 至少在設計上是有共同參照或互相取材。 通體呈八角形，盤口長頸，腹部往下略收，高圈足外撇。器型端莊俊 秀，製作難度極高，通體分六段製成後黏接成型，以堆塑而成的凸起裝 飾線，橫向將瓶身分隔。瓶自上至下有六組鬥彩加粉彩紋飾，瓶口描 金，盤口處以鬥彩纏枝花卉托描金團壽紋。頸部以鬥彩繪祥雲，每一面 皆有五隻蝙蝠於彩雲間飛揚，上面以粉彩飾靈芝及壽桃，寓意五蝠捧 壽、鴻福齊天、福壽雙全。肩部繪鬥彩加粉彩纏枝靈芝花卉紋，枝葉延 綿而生，畫面極具生氣。

See a Qing fencai foliate dish adorned with peaches and bats, as well as symbols of the ‘Eight Immortals’ that are only painted near the rim, sold in Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 7 May 2002, lot 533. The present lot demonstrates an identical set of symbols drawn more eminently on a larger medium. A number of Ming Qing imperial wares are seen to have adopted the ‘Eight Immortals’ Symbols’ design. In the third year of the Qianlong reign, an imperial order has been placed specifying the making of a wucai ‘Eight Immortals’ Symbols’ dish. See Feng Xianming, Zhongguo gu taoci wenxian jixi [A Complete Explanation of Ancient Chinese Ceramics], Taipei, 2000, p. 231. See another Qianlong vase with dragon handles and the ‘Eight Immortals’ symbols, sold in Sotheby’s Hong Kong 7 April 2015, lot 3608, now in the Shanghai Museum collection. See another in the collection of The Palace Museum in Beijing, a cloisonné enamel ‘Eight Immortals’ Symbols’ vase with two ‘shou ’ characters at the belly and a ‘卍’ symbol, see The World Rejoices As One: Celebrating Imperial Birthday in the Qing Dynasty , 2015, pl. 104.
Doucai is created by combining an underglaze and an overglaze. First, an outline is drawn with underglaze blue, a layer of clear glaze is applied on top, then fired at the kiln at high temperature. The fired product is then further embellished with colourful glazes and then fired at a lower temperature. Doucai originated in the Xuande period and was revived during the Kangxi reign. During the Yongzheng period, enamels were introduced which subsequently led to more innovative and intricate designs with vibrant colours. Qianlong doucai wares were a continuation of skilled craftsmanship developed in the preceding reign. Novelty, vibrance, sophistication are characteristics of Qianlong period pieces. An important contemporaneous feature is using gilt to embellish outlines, which is evident on the mouth rim, the ‘shou ’ character and other details of the present lot. A more remarkable feature of this lot is the size, which is unusually larger than most works with a similar design.
祥雲設色青花、淡綠、明黃、粉紫等，尤其是粉紫色起到畫龍點睛的作 用，使得紋飾更富裝飾性。紅色蝠翱翔於雲間，姿態各異，祥雲迤邐， 寓意千雲祥集，洪福紛至。佈局疏朗清新，畫筆生動流暢，色彩淡雅柔 美，迤邐之中有淡雅，既有鬥彩的淡彩清麗又有粉彩的豐滿柔美，彰顯 乾隆時期瓷器的多樣化特點。 腹部主體部分有八面紋飾，纏枝花卉紋為地，中央位置七彩祥雲間浮現 暗八仙紋，依次為漢鐘離的團扇、張果老的魚鼓、 何仙姑的蓮蓬、藍 采和的花籃、鐵拐李的葫蘆、曹國舅的陰陽板、呂洞賓的寶劍、韓湘子 的笛子。腹部漸下而收，間飾兩段纏枝花卉紋，圈足外撇。底施松石綠 釉，中心礬紅彩書「大清乾隆年製」六字三行篆書款。 暗八仙紋，寄語長壽，明清瓷器上偶有見之，乾隆鬥彩暗八仙瓷例多見 於折沿盤，立件甚稀，近年只見一天球瓶例，為美國奧克拉荷馬州費布 克美術館珍藏，售於香港佳士得，2018年5月30日，編號8888，以港 幣一億三千萬元成交；後朝例較多見鬥彩暗八仙紋出現在其他類型的瓷 器上，如道光御製外黃地內暗八仙紋盤，為萬壽節而製，見趙聰月編， 《故宮博物院藏慎德堂款瓷器》，北京，2014年，圖版2。 本品暗八仙形象各異，曲盡其致，其餘部分紋飾皆鋪纏枝花卉為地，綴 以壽字、蓮花、壽桃、蝙蝠、祥雲等吉祥圖案，所以此器不僅暗八仙細 膩生動，周邊的輔助紋樣也精緻入微，例如漢鐘離的團扇上綴有壽桃， 韓湘子的笛子飾有靈芝等，加上頸部每一個面均可見到茂盛豐碩的壽 桃、蝙蝠及靈芝，寓意吉祥喜慶，為乾隆鬥彩加粉彩瓷器的巔峰之作。 如許之衡《飲流齋說瓷》記有：「……至乾隆則華縟極矣，精巧之至， 幾於鬼斧神工……」。邵蟄民撰《增補古今瓷器源流考》記：「清瓷至 乾隆而極盛，器式之多亦莫與倫比」。 明清瓷器多見一些御器以八仙所用法器來代表八仙人物，如乾隆三年即 曾要求燒造五彩暗八仙盌一件，見馮先銘，《中國古陶瓷文獻集釋》， 臺北，2000年，頁231。另參考一件乾隆款黃地洋彩暗八仙雙龍耳瓶，售 於香港蘇富比2015年4月7日，編號3608，現藏上海龍美術館。另可比較 一件北京故宮藏乾隆款掐絲琺瑯暗八仙紋瓶，腹部兩側開光內飾有兩個 壽字，與其下「卍」字錦地紋相呼應，寓意「萬壽」，見《普天同慶： 清代萬壽盛典》，前述出處，圖版104。

It was exactly because of Qianlong emperor’s enthusiasm in crafts, history, culture and innovation that led to a plethora of superb porcelains from that period. The present vase follows the bats and longevity motif from Yongzheng porcelains and incorporated European aesthetics in the depiction of the recurring floral motif that are delicately outlined with underglaze blue. There are only three Qianlong period fencai and doucai porcelains in the world currently. Including a small fencai jar with a scene of children at play and a ‘monkeys’ vase where underglaze-blue was used sporadically as ornamentation. The two are currently in the collection of The Palace Museum, illustrated in Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong: Qing Porcelain from the Palace Museum Collection , Hong Kong, 1989, p. 31, pl. 22 and p. 346, pl. 27. Compare another from the National Palace Museum in Taipei, illustrated in Catalog of the Special Exhibition of K'ang-Hsi, Yung-Cheng and Ch'ien-Lung Porcelain Ware from the Ch'ing Dynasty in the National Palace Museum , National Palace Museum, Taipei, 1986, no. 84. Based on the stylistic features of the inscribed reign mark, it is very likely that this is a piece produced at the beginning of the Qianlong reign. Currently, there is no known identical example. But the Shanghai Museum houses a piece that resembles the size, form, design of the present lot. The reign mark on the piece at the Shanghai Museum is also very similar to the one on the present lot, which suggests that the two pieces could have been made by the same craftsman. An identical one sold at China Guardian, 3 June 2006, lot 1718. See also a Tianqiuping originally from the Philbrook Museum of Art, later sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 30 May 2018, lot 8888.
清雍正 粉彩過枝八桃五蝠壽雙全盤成對 北京保利，2018年6月14日，編號5179 A superb rare pair of famille rose 'peach' dishes, mark and period of Yongzheng sold at Poly Beijing, 14 June 2018, lot 5179
鬥彩由釉下彩和釉上彩兩種釉彩組成，先以青花於瓷胎上勾勒出圖案輪 廓線的全體或主體，罩上透明釉，入窯高溫燒成後，再於輪廓中填入一 種到多種的彩料，二次入窯以低溫烘燒。鬥彩初創於宣德時期，歷經成 化的發展高峰及明中晚期的低潮階段，於康熙時復興。雍正時期，開始 於釉上彩色系中引入琺瑯彩料，其可混色且易於渲染的特性，大幅增添 了色彩的種類及富麗，為瓷畫帶來了前所未有的漸層、立體效果。 乾隆鬥彩承襲了前朝優異的基礎，力求出新，以色彩豐富、彩繪精緻、 畫面華麗著稱。尤以瓶頸五蝠捧壽紋最為突出，與雍正一朝的蝠壽紋紋 飾相似，秉承前朝工藝之精湛，令人嘆為觀止，可參考清雍正粉彩過枝 八桃五蝠壽雙全盤成對，售於北京保利，2018年6月14日，編號5179。 此時的另一特色為在紋樣上描金，使畫面更顯富麗堂皇，可見於本品之 口沿、壽字、芭蕉扇等。觀摩本品，此器為乾隆鬥彩器中較少見的大型 器物，在高度達43公分的瓶身上滿繪紋飾，以設色淡雅的青花細膩地勾 繪出帶有西洋風格的纏枝花葉，再將礬紅、胭脂紅、紫、洋黃、水綠、 藍色等琺瑯料精細地填入，加以白彩適時暈染和金彩重點描繪，畫面層 次紛陳，活潑生動，可謂集成型、彩飾、焙燒工藝之大成的傑作。 乾隆御瓷，鬥彩加粉彩為飾者館藏僅存數例，包括：一粉彩嬰戲圖小 罐，背景山石以釉下青花勾繪而成，及一粉彩百猴圖撇口瓶，部分細 節以釉下青花刻繪。兩者均帶乾隆年製款，現藏於故宮博物院，著錄 於《故宮珍藏康雍乾瓷器圖錄》，香港，1989年，31頁，圖版22及頁 346，圖版27。同可比較台北故宮博物院一青花加彩龍鳳紋瓶，周邊纏枝 牡丹以釉下青花繪製，見於《清康雍乾名瓷特展》，國立故宮博物院， 台北，1986，編號84。 本件暗八仙八方大瓶，或為乾隆朝偏早期的御瓷，其乾隆款的寫法似也 支持這種看法。綜觀公私收藏，迄今未見相同之例，應為孤品。最接近 者為上海博物館所藏一例，此外，中國嘉德2006年6月3日曾釋出一件與 上海博物館相同的作品，編號1718，品種相同，形制、大小亦與本品相 仿，題材紋飾互相呼應，款字極有可能出自同一工匠之手，當年或一同 設計，又或曾一同成對陳設，極為難得。另參考美國費布克美術館舊藏 清乾隆鬥彩加粉彩暗八仙纏枝蓮紋天球瓶，後售於香港佳士得，2018年5 月30日，編號8888。

This elegant vase belongs to a particular group of doucai vases, characterized by forms and designs that closely follow 14th century blue-and-white porcelains. The tripartite division of the motif, bold rendering of flowers and serrated leaves are features of Yuan dynasty (1279-1368) meiping vases. See a Shanghai Museum collection in the exhibition Splendors in Smalt. Art of Yuan Blue and White Porcelain , Shanghai, 2012, cat. no. 13.

One in the collection of Sir John Buchanan-Jardine, illustrated in Soame Jenyns, Later Chinese Porcelain , London, 1954, pl. 88. The doucai design of the current lot is inspired by Ming cloisonné enamels and the prototype was first introduced in the Ming dynasty during the Chenghua reign. ‘Chicken’ cups and stem bowls are among the finest productions during that time, and were deeply favoured by the Qing people, in particular, the Yongzheng and Qianlong emperors. The design also resonates Chenghua blueand-white wares, see two pairs of example from the National Palace Museum in Taipei, illustrated in Catalogue of the Special Exhibition of Ch’eng-Hua Porcelain Ware , National Palace Museum, Taipei, 2003, no. 171-4, see also a ‘lingzhi’ jar and cover in the same collection.

A remarkable quality found on the surface decoration of this vase is its novel combination of coloured glazes. On the vast gold ground are swirling floral patterns painted in fencai glaze, accompanied by dragons, bats and fish that are embellished in pink and blue fencai glaze. Overall, with a thoughtful organization of motifs executed superbly. There is a very lucid message of ever flowing blessings from heaven, good fortune, wealth, honour and longevity implied in the use of the specific animal symbolisms. Each detail is drawn to precision and exhibits sophistication in craftsmanship. For a similar work with lotus, bats and fish motifs, refer to a gold-ground famillerose vase in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, exhibited in Emperor Qianlong’s Grand Cultural Enterprise, Taipei, 2002, cat. no.

A LARGE TURQUOISE-GROUND FAMILLE-ROSE 'CHILDREN AT PLAY' DISH MARK AND PERIOD OF JIAQING
「大清嘉慶年製」
綠地粉彩百子龍舟圖折沿大盤
清嘉慶
A shallow dish with a splayed foot that rises to a flat everted rim. The dish is decorated to the interior where a bustling scene of children playing among dragon boats is seen amid emerging mountain peaks. On the two ends of each dragon boat are a child leading and another cheering. Gathered at the middle are figures of children who strive to win the race. Figures on the sides away from the water are cheering children. The dish rises slightly to the rim which is decorated with floral motifs on a bright green ground. On the exterior are a similar decorative design with four sets of flowers and bats motifs painted against a bright green ground. The base is inscribed with a sixcharacter Jiaqing reign mark in iron-red glaze. The predominant design imitates paintings framed by tapestries which was a novel development that originated from the Qianlong reign. Scenes of children at play were a popular theme in Ming and Qing porcelains because they embody the wishes for prosperity and abundance. The affluent families in the Ming society saw literary accomplishments as a pivotal part of an individual’s identity. As a result, decorative scenes with children imitating and engaging with adults’ literary activities became a prevalent design scheme across a variety of arts and crafts.

The current lot recreates a scene from the Dragon Boat Festival, which was on the fifth day of the fifth month of each year. The Dragon Boat Festival came from a tale of a patriotic poet namd Qu Yuan (?-278B.C.) from the State of Chu, who threw himself into the river when the State of Qin defeated the State of Chu. It was exactly the fifth day of the fifth month when he died and people allegedly searched for his corpse sailing on boats. The Garden of Perfect Brightness (Yuanmingyuan ) holds an annual dragon boat race each year as an entertainment for its visitors. Each boat carries around forty to eighty men, and the atmosphere is vividly represented on the center of this porcelain dish. Scenes of children at a dragon boat race were not particular to imperial wares from the Jiaqing reign. In fact, vases from the Qianlong period also bear the same motif. Compare a lantern vase with ‘bajixiang ’ emblems, illustrated in Qing Imperial Porcelain of the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong Reigns , Nanjing, 1995, no. 87.

The deer, crane, pine tree, lingzhi and auspicious clouds are symbolisms for longevity, which suggests that the present lot could have been associated with a birthday celebration. Details are adept and the fine brush strokes effectively portray a more realistic picture. The title liuhe and is a homophone for the words lu (deer) and he (crane). It means the unity of the six directions, the sky and earth, and the four cardinal directions in Spring. This theme frequently accompanies blue-and-white porcelains from civil kilns in the Kangxi period, see a collection from The Palace Museum in Beijing, illustrated in Blue-and-white Porcelains from the Shunzhi and Kangxi Periods , Beijing, 2005, pp. 476-477, fig. 307, 308. Despite the theme’s popularity in civil kilns, there are currently no known replicas from Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong porcelains, with the exception of two close examples from the Qianlong period. One adorned with a scene of pine trees and deer was sold in Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 11 April 2008, lot 1830, and another a bottle vase sold at Poly Beijing, 5 December 2010, lot 4695. The current lot was in the collection of Mr. Jacques. The Saint-Bris family owns the Château of Clos Lucé in Amboise (France) since 1854. After Léonard de Vinci leaving Tuscany in Italy, he lived in the Château of Clos Lucé until his death in 1519.

AN IRON-RED AND UNDERGLAZE-BLUE 'DRAGON AND WAVE' SAUCER DISH QING DYNASTY, YONGZHENG PERIOD
青花礬紅彩海獸圖盤
清雍正
Elegantly potted with shallow rounded sides rising to a flared rim. The ground painted in white-glaze all throughout. The exterior vividly decorated with waves in iron-red glaze, on the red sea are sea creatures including the dragon, flying horse, sea lion, walrus, and similar mythical beasts, all gliding across the red ground. The interior wall was left blank and a winged dragon with fins resides at the center on a sea of red waves, enclosed by a set of double circles in underglaze blue. The ‘haibaguai [eight sea monsters]’, also known as ‘haishou yutao [sea beasts and fish among waves]’ decorative motif originated from porcelains decorated in blue underglaze alongside occasional red glazes. The design was first developed during the reign of the Xuande emperor (r. 1425-1435). Towards the end of the Ming dynasty, the red glaze was gradually replaced by underglaze blue. It was in the Qing dynasty that the original design scheme was recreated again. D 20cm HK$ 40,000 - 100,000 US$ 5,200 - 12,900

A PAIR OF ZITAN 'BOGU' RECTANGULAR PANELS QING DYNASTY, QIANLONG PERIOD
紫檀雕西番蓮博古圖掛屏一對
清乾隆
Zitan was exceptionally prized in China, particularly by the imperial court during the Ming and Qing dynasties. By the early Qing dynasty, zitan was very expensive, as supply had dwindled dramatically from excessive lumbering activities throughout the preceding Ming period. As zitan trees require centuries to fully mature into usable material, stockpiled wood from the Ming dynasty and imported supplies from the South Pacific islands were used to manufacture many pieces. During the Qing dynasty, the production of palace furniture was commissioned and carefully monitored by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Zaobanchu (造辦處). Records such as the Neiwufu Zaobanchu huojidang reveal that the court issued instructions for the search and purchase of zitan and other valuable timber from private hands as imported supplies were low during the 18th century; see Guo Fuxiang, The Art of Furniture-Making in Imperial China, 2nd Century BC - 18th Century , Barcelona, 2006, pp.111 and 113.

The Duchange Family Collection of Important Chinese Art I 懷藏日月：法國杜尚家族藏重要中國藝術珍品（一）
The present pair of panels, with elegantly scrolling acanthus leaves and seashells, continues the tradition of adapting European Rococo-style motifs and aesthetics showing three-dimensional form and space, which flourished under the Yongzheng and Qianlong reigns. In Chinese, such décor was coined Xiyang huawen, or 'Western decorative pattern', and reflected the fascination and taste for the style and splendour of Western aesthetics. From the 17th century, the Qing court became increasingly open to accommodate Western innovations, culture and influences. Starting from the Yongzheng period and up to the Daoguang period, there was a rise in popularity for the construction of European-style architecture in China, with the Western palaces in the vast Imperial Summer Palace complex, Yuanmingyuan , north of Beijing, being the finest of such examples. Furnishings for the interiors of these palaces were made with corresponding European influences in order to suit and match the magnificently elaborate and luxurious Western-style architecture. Zitan examples tended to be of the most exceptional quality, with craftsmen exercising their full talent of skill and creativity to create masterful works of art, as demonstrated in this lot. Shells, with their delicate interlacing of natural curves were quintessential to French Rococo-style. The word rococo, derives from the French word Rocaille and denotes the shell-like delicate scroll motifs used. This in particular, captivated the Chinese emperors, as shown in imperial architecture and furniture suffused with shell motifs including: the Hall of Calm Seas, haiyan tang, in the Yuanmingyuan; see a copperplate print, 1786, illustrated in Yuan Ming Yuan, Qing Emperor's Splendid Gardens , Taipei, 2013, pp.258-259, no.V10; and a zitan armchair with a back ending in a large shell-form head rest, in the Qing Court collection, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Furniture of the Ming and Qing Dynasties (II) , Hong Kong, 2002, pl.39. The opulent and complex three-dimensional decoration of these panels, with both carved and applied elements, is a powerful example of the level of technical skill and ingenuity furniture makers of the Qing period possessed. The carving of these pair of zitan panels are refined, fluid and especially deep. Furthermore, by carving out the motifs against a reserved ground, the background areas have been carefully finished and superbly polished to ensure an even surface without a trace of tool marks.
屏心為紫檀木製，後配雞翅木框，尺寸碩大。每屏屏心分別雕上、下一 圓及一方形開光，開光外滿工西番蓮卷草紋，紋飾帶有西洋式巴洛克風 格，圓形開光由夔龍組成，屏心下部為長方形開光，四面開光內均雕博 古圖，琴棋書畫、筆墨寶硯、文房四寶、金石古玉、香爐花器，一應俱 有。雕工精湛，細緻驚人，嘆為觀止。 紫檀木料極其珍貴，雖然明代開始為宮廷所用，但後因宮中木料匱乏， 便遣使於東南亞尋找紫檀原料存於宮中以供後日使用。至清朝時，宮中 所使用紫檀原料皆為前朝所取。清代宮廷傢具的設計和生產一般都需要 按照皇帝的要求製作，整個過程都有內務府及造辦處協調完成。從《內 務府造辦處活計檔》中的記錄也可知，清廷對猶如紫檀這樣珍貴木料 的控制也非常嚴格。即使內務府順應旨意不斷向民間徵收上等紫檀木 料，但宮中紫檀木料至十八世紀已經開始匱乏，見郭福祥，《The Art of Furniture-Making in Imperial China, 2nd Century BC - 18th Century》， 巴塞羅那，2006年，頁111及113。 此對屏上的所雕西番蓮卷草紋以及貝殼紋飾帶有濃厚的西洋風格，這種 風格在雍正至乾隆年間清宮傢具中已經十分流行。自十七世紀開始至道 光時期，清代統治者逐漸對西洋文化產生興趣，並在清宮建築及藝術裝 飾上得以體現，其中以圓明園最為聞名，而當時園內所陳設的傢具及藝 術品，亦有明顯的西洋風格。當時宮廷的木匠大多來自廣東和蘇州，他 們進入造辦處後不斷將各地傢具工藝融會貫通，形成了「京作」。此對 屏之雕工融合不同風格，而當時製作所耗之工、之時、之料不可估量。 此類紋飾多見於法國洛可可風格裝飾藝術之上，清朝統治者亦將其借 用於皇家宮殿之上。如在圓明園海晏堂的建築上即可見到很多貝類裝 飾，見一幅1786年印海晏樓銅版畫，著錄於《圓明園：大清皇帝最美的 夢》，台北，2013年，頁258-259，圖V-10；另見故宮博物院藏一件清 乾隆紫檀西洋花紋扶手椅，其靠背上亦雕有貝類紋飾，參看《故宮博物 院文物珍品全集：明清傢具（下）》，香港，2002年，圖39。

In continuation of the Yongzheng and Qianlong emperors advocacy of tradition and innovation, as often seen in other mediums such as imperial porcelain and jade carving, master furniture craftsmen combined European-styles with the Chinese traditional repertoire, as seen in the carved 'antiques' and mythical beasts. Compare an eight-panelled zitan door frame, with similarly carved 'antiques', in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in Architecture and Decoration of the Forbidden City: Classics of the Forbidden City , Beijing, 2013, pp.148-151, no.129. The stylised dragons that form the round cartouches on the current panels are also reminiscent of those found on Ming dynasty furniture, such as those forming the brackets of a square table, dated 15501600, in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, illustrated by C.Clunus, Chinese Furniture , Hong Kong, 1988, pp.57-59, no.47. The bold decoration of such Chinese motifs juxtaposes with the elegant European Rococo decorative elements, resulting in a unique and striking blend of styles. This convergence of Eastern and Western iconography conveys the dynamic cross-cultural exchange of the Qing period. Compare the panels on the doors of a tall compound cabinet in the Palace of Double Brilliance, Chonghua gong, with similarly ornate but shallower carvings of a round cartouche above a rectangular cartouche surrounded by leafy scrolls, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Furniture of the Ming and Qing Dynasties (II) , Hong Kong, 2002, pl.260; see also a zitan display cabinet embedded with birch wood, with two bottom door panels with similarly carved peonies within Rococo-style acanthus leaf scrolls issuing from cornucopias, in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in Eternal Knowledge: Imperial Books, Art Works and Culture of the Qing , Macao, 2007, p.463, no.149. A pair of zitan chairs with related Rococo-style decoration including shells and acanthus leaves, Qianlong, was sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 3 December 2008, lot 2503. Valentin Louis Georges Eugène Marcel Proust (1871-1922) was a renowned French novelist, author of the famous seven-volume novel À la recherche du temps perdu, written between 1913 and 1927, based on Proust's personal life told from a psychological and allegorical point of view. He is considered by many to be one of the greatest authors of all time. Proust's father, Adrien Achille Proust (1834-1903), was a prominent pathologist and epidemiologist, dedicated to the research and study of the cholera disease. It is known that Proust senior dedicated his life to this medical field and travelled extensively to Asia. For his services and exceptional contribution to the understanding of how to control cholera, he was conferred the distinction of Commandeur de la Légion d'honneur in 1892.
清式傢具的工藝和風格可算是在雍正、乾隆兩朝奠定。社會整體的審美 觀從崇尚簡潔演變為追求華麗繁縟，加上當時西洋工藝傳入中國，所生 產出的傢具都有明顯的時代風格。本拍品有著承先啟後、仿古創新及 具備東西文化的特色，就像在官窯瓷器和玉雕上看到的風格一樣。北京 故宮博物院藏一重華宮紫檀屏風八扇，所飾的博古紋與本對屏風可作對 比，見《故宮建築內檐裝修》，北京，2013年，頁148-151，編號129。 另外，本對屏風上所飾之開光龍紋也具有明代遺風，可對比倫敦維多利 亞及阿伯特博物館藏一桌，定為1550-1600年，見C.Clunus，《Chinese Furniture》，香港，1988年，頁57-59，編號47。 紫禁城重華宮西次間傢具陳設裏北牆靠牆有一紫檀雕花頂豎櫃，其紋飾 與本拍品可資對比，唯重華宮之例雕刻較為淺，見《故宮博物院藏文物 珍品全集：明清傢具（下）》，香港，2002年，圖版260；也參考北京 故宮博物院藏一件清中期紫檀嵌樺木櫃格，下部對開兩門的門心正中所 雕的折枝牡丹紋與本拍品相似，同樣也是在周圍雕西洋巴洛克花紋，見 《永樂文淵 – 清代宮廷典籍文化藝術特展》，澳門，2007年，頁463， 編號149。另參考一對清乾隆紫檀椅子，也飾有西洋巴洛克風格卷草紋， 售於香港佳士得，2008年12月3日，編號2503。 馬塞爾·普魯斯特是法國著名的意識流作家，其代表作《追憶逝水年 華》全文共計七卷，是全世界最長的小說。作品結合作家親身經歷，細 膩刻畫了十九世紀末至二十世紀初法國上流社會和文人雅士的心理活 動，開創「意識流」小說之先河。馬塞爾的父親阿希爾是知名的傳染病 學家，專研對霍亂疾病的治療。在他服役期間曾多次造訪亞洲，並對控 制及治療霍亂做出重大貢獻，並榮獲法國榮譽軍團勳章。

此件白玉盤撇口，敞腹，圈足。玉質白皙勻淨，器壁較厚， 周身光素無紋，盡顯玉質無瑕之純美。玉作圓如皓月明空， 盈盈圓圓，葆光英英。盤底刻「大清乾隆年製」六字三行篆 書款。本器款字上似曾有描金，今仍殘留，肉眼可見。款字 風格靠近雍正一朝，尤其「年」字，或為清雍正晚期至乾隆 早期之作品。 所謂「良玉不琢」，因其玉質本身完美無瑕，因此不飾一 紋，保留天然美玉本身潔白純淨、瑩潤光澤之質，線條規 整，拋光細膩，最費良工，實乃清代玉盤之大作。

The thumb ring is an ancient accessory that was recorded in the Han dynasty dictionary Shuowen jiezi , known to be used during archery to protect one’s finger from the activity. In the Qing dynasty, the imperial workshops sought a variety of materials for production of thumb rings. These were accessories strictly restricted to the aristocracy. In addition, the thickness and decorations of thumb rings also determine the identity of the owner. While the scholarly elite wore a thumb ring with literati decorative motifs on the exterior, the military men likely wore plain and undecorated ones. Decorations on the surface of the present lot indicate an owner who identifies as a Confucian literati. Together with the inscribed imperial poem, this ring was clearly a possession of the emperor. In fact, Wu Weiping ’s article in the National Palace Museum Periodicals , vol. 367, 2013 agrees that there are only a few existing jade thumb rings inscribed with an imperial poem from the Qianlong period. Currently, eight are in the collection of the National Palace Museum in Taipei, seven in The Palace Museum collection in Beijing, and the remaining in the Haidian Museum and the Liaoning Provincial Museum. Studies have suggested that there are a few examples where an identical poem is inscribed on two disparate rings, the present lot is a rare example and its twin currently belongs to The Palace Museum collection.
扳指在古代叫韘，《說文》曰：「韘，射也」，是射箭時套在右手拇指 上，以保護射手右拇指不被弓弦勒傷的專用器物。有清一代，各種規制 日趨完善，搬指雖小卻也是森嚴等級的一種象徵，多以玉石、翡翠、 瑪瑙、珊瑚等名貴材料製作的搬指，非皇室貴胄一般人是不敢也不能隨 意佩戴的。扳指的大小厚薄，依使用者文武身份定奪，武搬指多素面， 文搬指多於外壁精刻詩句或花紋，此件拍品即屬文扳指，且雕刻御題詩 文，為帝王賞玩之物，故更為精美。 此韘以整塊和闐玉雕刻而成，玉質純淨溫潤，呈筒狀。韘面留灑金皮， 陰刻題詩：<詠秋聲賦玉牒>，出自《清高宗御製詩文四集》84卷，後落 乾卦款識。此玉韘詩文，字似蚊頭，間架精密，筆筆到家，氣韻生動。 韘另一面淺浮雕「秋意圖」，近景閣樓內一高士托腮側坐，若有所思， 面前紅燭寂影，屋外書童倦坐，瑟瑟發抖，明顯已入深秋，深合御題詩 題意。此韘設計、製作非常考究，顯示出乾隆時期宮廷御用器物的風格 和特點。

In addition, The Qianlong Emperor in Ceremonial Armor on Horseback and The Qianlong Emperor Chasing a Deer on a Hunting Trip paintings show that the emperor had the habit of wearing thumb rings. Official written records also noted Qianlong’s participation in the production of thumb rings and revealed the emperor to be particularly enthusiastic in poetically inscribed rings. The current lot was in the collection of Mr. Jacques. The Saint-Bris family owns the Château of Clos Lucé in Amboise (France) since 1854. After Léonard de Vinci leaving Tuscany in Italy, he lived in the Château of Clos Lucé until his death in 1519.
吳偉蘋於《故宮文物月刊》第367期，2013年，《乾隆皇帝與玉扳指》 一文中提到，銘刻乾隆御製詩的玉扳指存世數量不多，目前見台北故宮 博物院藏八例，北京故宮博物院藏七例，其餘尚見於海淀博物館、遼寧 省博物館。據考，有時同一首詩會刻在兩件以上的扳指上，本品即為一 例，同樣詩文及插圖的扳指，見於北京故宮博物院收藏，甚為難得。 在故宮博物院所藏的《乾隆大閱圖》和《威弧射鹿圖》等繪畫作品中，都 有乾隆佩戴扳指的證明。清朝造辦處行文檔記中，多有記載乾隆為玉事 賦詩和參與指導的事例。乾隆四十七年的熱河信帖檔，記載了遠在熱河 避暑山莊的乾隆與北京圓明園如意館之間就製作一件玉搬指往返行文， 以及將材料來回傳遞的詳細情況，來去竟達六七次之多。乾隆四十七年正 月二十二日的造辦處行文檔記載，如意館工匠從交來的大小玉子三十一塊 內，挑出來四塊，做搬指兩件，於正月二十六日由太監鄂魯里呈給乾隆御 覽，乾隆看後傳其旨意。從上述記載中，可以看到乾隆御用搬指的製作是 何等的繁瑣，為求其精，不遺餘力，是共同協作的結果。 本品原為Jacques Saint-Bris先生收藏，其家族於1854年起為法國中西部 昂布瓦斯Château of Clos Lucé城堡擁有人，而此城堡為天才李安納度． 達文西離開法國後所移居及1519年病逝之地。

Such creature was believed to have the head of a dragon and body of a deer. These features are finely presented on the current figures, each with its outstretched neck turned right and looking upward, revealing ferocious expression and sharp teeth framed by a pair of ears and horns. The back of the head is cast with silky mane running down its spine ending in a furry tail. The hoofed feet firmly rest on the gilt-bronze stand, which was cast with a sixcharacter Xuande reign mark on top. The edge of the stand is further carved and decorated with cloud scrolls. The Yongle and Xuande periods witnessed a stylistic advancement that integrates Chinese and Tibetan aesthetics in the making of a variety of figures. These figures were made to be given to Tibetan monks as gifts from the imperial court. Contrary to bronze figures used in the Xuande court that bear reign marks which read from the left to the right, the inscription on the present lot reads from the opposite direction, resembling the Tibetan script. Among all existing Xuande imperial bronze figures, pairs of animal figures are extremely scarce. There are a number of Yongle Buddhist figures in the world’s private and museum collections, but to find one in the form of an animal and with a corresponding reign mark is truly remarkable. See a gilt-bronze Buddhist figure from Sotheby’s Hong Kong 2006 auction for reference. To the Ming court, an amiable relationship with Tibet was a crucial part of governance. As a result, a great number of imperially made figures were gifted to Tibetan monks as a show of respect and appreciation.
麒麟與龍鳳一樣是中國古代傳說中的神獸，是多種動物的復合化形，雄 性稱麒，雌性稱麟，從外形上看，龍頭，麋身，牛尾，馬蹄，有雙角亦 有獨角之形。漢許慎《說文解字》中：「麒，仁獸也，麋身牛尾一角； 麐（麟），牝麒也。」《徵詳記》云「麒，仁獸也，狀如麋，牛尾，馬 蹄，設物備而不為害，故為仁也。」 此對銅鎏金麒麟非常寫實，一大一小，雌雄分明。龍頭昴首，回首張 望，雙角有力，頭頸處鬃毛飛舞上衝，身上毛髮捲曲，形似火焰。麋 身，身型健碩，筋骨強健，肌肉飽滿，獅尾前卷。四肢如馬，粗獷健 壯，馬蹄有力，踩踏須彌式台座，台座上方呈如意形，上刻華麗的卷草 紋。台座正中，自右至左深鑄陽文「大明宣德年製」。 本對麒麟整體造型大方，風格簡約，軀體碩壯，四腿短粗，毛髮及角刻 劃精湛，全身充滿著無窮力量，無論就其質量、工藝而言都顯得極為優 異。藝匠雕鑄技術精湛，麒麟的表情動作優雅自然，神態栩栩如生，作 工亦一絲不苟，力求細緻精美。

As a matter of fact, Yongle gilt-bronze Buddhist figures are deemed the best in the Ming dynasty in terms of their production quality. As an approach to pacify previously existing disputes with the West, the Ming court never hesitated to show their acceptance to Tibetan religions. During the reign of emperors Xuande and Yongle, construction of Buddhist temples and producing written religious texts were of great importance. Ming emperors would invite Tibetan religious leaders to the court as guests to officiate ritual ceremonies in the palace. Buddhist figures akin to the present lot are then gifted to these monks as a token of appreciation. The emphasis on creating more space for Buddhism in China led to increased contact between the Chinese and the Tibetans and the integration of two cultures is exemplified by the visual features on this pair of ‘qilin’ figures. It is then very likely that the present piece was once given to Tibetan monks from the Ming emperor. Note the detail on the legs of the figures, there are traces of lost gilt that were created upon caressing the surface which might come from a worship process that was repeated for centuries. For comparison, see a gilt-bronze figure of a goat in the Speelman collection, sold in Sotheby’s Hong Kong spring auction, 2014, lot 0084.
本對麒麟帶有明顯的永樂、宣德宮廷造像特點，永樂宣德兩朝在宮廷器 物的製作上可謂無出其右者。不論是瓷器、漆器、織繡、佛像還是掐絲 琺瑯都達到了前所未有的高峰。自永樂皇帝始，明朝對於西藏的政策主 要以安撫為主，對各教派皆施以恩賜，厚贈厚賜，其中出自永樂宣德宮 廷「御佛監」「佛作」的造像則是最得要的賞賜之物。「佛作」承襲了 大量元代宮廷鑄佛匠人，融合了西藏、尼泊爾和中原地區造像特點，形 成了一種新的宮廷漢藏風格造像。這些造像題材豐富，比例精准，寫實 傳神。同時也根據藏傳佛教的特點，鑄造了與佛教有關的動物造像，但 數量較少。清翫雅集廿週年慶收藏展曾展出一件帶有「大明永樂年施」 明確年款的明永樂銅鎏金羊尊燭臺，出版於《清翫雅集廿週年慶收藏 展—器物》，編號10；首都博物館館藏有一件明永樂御制鎏金寶瓶瑞象 尊；香港蘇富比2008年10月8日，曾拍出一件帶有「大明永樂年施」款明 永樂鎏金銅「寶瓶瑞象」立像，編號2624 。本對麒麟在造像風格上與上 述三件類似，尤其寶座與後兩件象尊的寶座相同。 目前帶有宣德宮廷款佛造像多見，動物造像並不多，成對出現，更是罕 見。上述三件帶永樂年款動物造像，暗刻款識自左至右，符合藏人解讀 習，明顯是永樂宮廷為賞賜西藏所鑄。本對麒麟台座上「大明宣德年 製」帶有款乃自右向左順讀，與漢文相符，應當為供奉內廷使用。相傳 只在太平盛世，或世有聖主時麒麟才會出現。麒麟威嚴之態，神威之 功，故受到歷代皇帝的喜愛，成宮廷之間、殿堂之上常見擺設。本對帶 有宣德年款的麒麟造像是存世罕有的孤品，明顯在見證宣德皇帝的仁君 形象和太平盛世，其藝術和歷史價值不可估量。

The figure is in very good condition, the amount of gilt-lacquer that remained shows that the statue was well-preserved under careful hands. Meticulous details appropriated onto different areas on the surface, embellishing the elegant form of the figure. It is precisely with these ostentatious details that suggest a dating to the prosperous society early into the Ming dynasty. The present lot is a work of an imperial workshop characteristic of the Yongle and Xuande reigns. A great number of Buddhist figures produced at that time were given to Tibetan monks as gifts as a show of acceptance and appreciation from the Chinese court. Meticulous details on the figure reflect an unprecedented advancement of the production of Buddhist figures in the Ming dynasty. More importantly, burgeon of Buddhist figures from the period suggests a rapid development in Tibetan Buddhism during the Ming dynasty and signifies the growing popularity of the religion in the society.

An important part to the composition is the religious thematic element. The prefix “maitri” of “Maitreya” stands for benevolence. The term is closely associated with Maitreya’s journey to enlightenment after a heartfelt encounter with Shakyamuni’s sermons that inspired great compassion. Alternative interpretations suggest that “Maitreya” is the name of the bodhisattva whose surname was Ajita, meaning “invincible”. Based on the Sutra of Maitreya Bodhisattva's Attainment of Buddhahood, Maitreya was born into a family of Brahmins and later converted to Buddhism upon hearing Shakyamuni Buddha’s sermons. According to the scriptures, Maitreya will then be a successor to Buddha Shakyamuni. As such, Maitreya has two identities: the compassionate enlightened being which is the bodhisattva, and, the future Buddha. For centuries, Buddhism have been one of the major faiths of the Chinese. The bronze figurine presented not only shows Maitreya’s role in Tibetan Buddhism, it also reflects the regard which the emperor held for Tibetan Buddhism and its faithful followers. Contrary to most Yongle or Xuande Buddhist figures found in Tibetan Buddhist temples, the present lot is made to a larger size and with supreme quality bronzes. The figurine is unparalleled with its four-character Chinese inscription dedicated solely to the Maitreya, rather than the typical six-character reign mark. The measurements further suggests that the figure was made to be worshipped in the Central Plains areas especially in the imperial court, this would explain the omission of the reign mark. Similar gilt-lacquer bronze figures of a comparable size are rarely available in the international art market.
本尊造像的題材重要，宗教寓意深刻。彌勒是印度梵語音譯，意譯「慈 氏」，因其過去世曾得到佛的開示，發心修道成「慈心三昧」而得名； 又有說彌勒是菩薩名，本姓「阿逸多」，意為無能勝，所以又稱阿逸 多菩薩。據《彌勒上生經》和《彌勒下生經》記載，彌勒出生於古印度 南部婆羅門家庭，原信奉婆羅門教，後因聽聞釋迦牟尼佛說法而皈依佛 教。因其根機深厚，深得釋迦牟尼佛器重，釋迦牟尼佛授記他，在未來 世將繼承佛位而成佛。他先釋迦佛入滅，上生兜率天內院，經過四千年 （相當於人間五十六億七千萬年），將下生人間，在華林園龍華樹下修 成正覺，繼而在龍華樹下三會說法，化度九十六億眾生。由此可見，彌 勒具有兩種身份，即現在菩薩身份和未來佛陀身份。千百年來，彌勒以 此重要身份受到了我國漢藏各族人民的普遍崇信。彌勒是大乘佛教瑜伽 學派的鼻祖，他創立了五部重要論著，稱《慈氏五論》，即《現觀莊嚴 論》、《大乘莊嚴經論》、《寶性論》、《辨法法性論》、《辨中邊 論》。這五部論著不僅是藏傳佛教中瑜伽學派尊奉的主要經典，而且也 為其它學派尊崇和研習。這尊彌勒菩薩像的雕造，正顯示了彌勒菩薩在 藏傳佛教中的重要地位和影響，同時也體現了永樂皇帝對藏族人民和藏 傳佛教固有信仰的尊重。 本尊造像不似常見的為西藏寺廟供奉而鑄造的造像，本尊造像體格極 大，用銅精良，蓮花寶座前沒有刻常見的「大明永樂年施」或者「大明 宣德年施」款，而是刻「弥勒菩薩」楷書四字款，款識深峻有力，符合 明代永樂和宣德兩朝宮廷御用監「佛作」製作的漢藏風格造像沈度字 體。同時印證此件造像同樣出自明代永樂和宣德兩朝宮廷御用監「佛 作」，本尊體格高大的造像應該為明代宮廷供奉，所以沒有落施字款， 如此大尺寸也符合中原地區的供奉習慣，偶有見於海內外公私收藏。

“獅吼Shihou [roaring lion]” originated as a Buddhist term, meaning to speak with no fear, like the roar of a lion. “獅 shi” is a simplified pronunciation of Sanskrit and is written as “師子 shizi” in Buddhist scripts, in order to distinguish it from Manjushri Bodhisattva's mount lion. “Lion” carries mythical colours, the ancients commonly used it to exorcise evil spirits. The lion is the king of all animals and the Buddha is the supreme among all humans. The two together, therefore, carries the title “Lion of the people”. In Buddhist scripts, the lion howler represents the unbound power of Dharma, a mighty deterrence and potent sense of dissemination – this is the masterly summation of the people who were born in the areas of the Asiatic lions with deep knowledge in the power of lions. Precisely due to the immense strength, deterrence and dissemination of the male lion’s roar, Buddhism, which originated from the habitat of the Indian Continental lion, considers the lion howler as a powerful symbol of Dharma. According to Buddhist teachings, having a lion as a mount can subdue all sufferings caused by evil spirits, so that beings from all three realms can be saved from the sea of woes with its supreme power. The lion is the symbol for fierceness and wisdom, whereas the Guanyin is a compassionate saviour. By marrying the two icons, the compassionate Guanyin tames the fierce lion and the two become an important symbol in Chinese Esoteric Buddhism, Mizong. The figure has an elegant and powerful physique that is slightly larger than similar figures. Its bronze body coated in gilt and details were skillfully executed. The figure is in good condition and is reminiscent of Ming dynasty Buddhist figures. Of all visually appealing characteristics, the most remarkable feature is on the inscription that provides us with information about the context in which the figure was made. This is truly a marvel for all art collection, academia and history.
本件超大尺寸清順治十三年銅鎏金吼原為觀音菩薩坐騎，吼回首張望，似與主尊 造像互動，造型特殊，存世罕見。本尊獅吼最獨特之處，身上所批掛毯鏨刻有清 晰的鑄造年份、發願進獻人名、進獻人身份、進獻是由、供養寺廟、監造人、保 造人、發願內容、發願時間等，非常詳細。清順治年間帶有如此清晰鏨刻銘文的 造像，放眼全球，未曾見到。本造像無論在收藏、藝術、學術及歷史文獻中都有 重要意義。 「獅吼」本為佛教專用語，意為以無畏音說法，如獅之咆吼。「獅」是梵語的省 略音譯，在佛經中一律寫成「師子」，僅是為了與文殊菩薩坐騎的獅子相區別而 已。「獅子」有神話般的神秘色彩。古人多用之「驅邪、闢邪」。獅乃獸中之 王，佛為人中至尊，故有「人中獅子」之稱。在佛教經典中，獅子吼代表佛法宏 大無邊的威力，是無上的震懾力，也是強勁的傳播力——這是古代亞洲獅生長區 域內的人們對獅子吼威力深刻認識的高度總結。正是因為雄獅吼聲有如此大的威 力、震懾力和傳播力，誕生於印度大陸獅子生長區的佛教才會將獅子吼作為佛法 威猛的一個象徵。按佛教的說法，以獅子為坐騎能降伏一切魔所生的病苦，使三 界眾生脫離苦海，具有極為威猛的力量。 獅子是雄猛和智慧的象徵，觀音菩薩是救苦救難的菩薩，因而，將觀音菩薩的法 力與獅子的雄猛結合起來，是密宗藝術家的首創，那就是獅吼觀音的出現。觀音 菩薩騎獅，降伏獅子，表達了救苦救難的觀世音菩薩的神功法力，深不可測、悠 遠無上。 此尊獅吼造像原為觀音菩薩的坐騎，雄獅四肢健碩矯捷，交錯前行，側身回首， 雙目圓睜，回首昂望作吼叫狀，造型生動。獅吼張口露利齒，氣勢威武強悍，頭 頂犄角，頸系鈴鐺，又顯得溫馴服從。鬃髯捲曲，盤旋如螺髻。尾部及腿際鬃毛 隨風飄展，雕刻入微，絲絲畢現。獅吼身披瓔珞，背搭坐毯，馱蓮花寶座。坐毯 自身肩自然垂落，如意雲頭之下，左右暗刻雲龍紋，其間開光刻有清順治十三年 的清晰鑄造年份、發願進獻人名、進獻人身份、進獻是由、供養、監造人、保造 人、發願內容及發願時間等詳細銘文。此種坐毯紋飾和銘文十分獨特，也十分高 級，存世作品中並不多見。坐毯之上的蓮花寶座刻划寫實，其上原有尺寸較大， 遊戲坐姿的觀音菩薩。原觀音造像佚失，但仍可推測原有造像特點。 整像黃銅質地沈實，尺寸較大，鎏金鋥亮，包漿自然。造像造型端莊優美，做工 細緻，品相完整，仍保留著明代漢傳佛像寫實之佳作。造像最寶貴之處則是身側 的銘文題記，題記中明確了造像的鑄造供奉時間，發願人的身份特殊，讓我們有 幸見證了那段歷史。 關於朱延禧的生平，暫時不可考，推測應該是明末生人，順治朝入仕，《清實錄 順治朝實錄》載:「升鑲白旗漢軍甲喇章京朱延禧、為本旗梅勒章京。」《清實錄 康熙朝實錄》：「升鑲白旗漢軍副都統朱延禧、為漢軍都統。」從中可以看出， 朱延禧在順治、康熙兩朝非常受朝廷信認和重用，據史料記載，至到雍正一朝， 其孫仍受其蔭。銘文中所記載之海子寺，應該在淇縣三海村附近，（原名北海 子），明淇縣誌記載：「北海子，昔殷紂王遊玩之所。」
