PREFERRED LOT
50 - A fine and rare blue and white "Dragon" meiping, Qing dynasty, Qianlong period (1736 - 1795)
Delicately potted blue-and-white underglaze porcelain vase. The "meiping" vase shape is perfectly modelled, with high shoulders, and a short, notched neck, slightly open and with a rounded rim. The form rises from a circular base that widens elegantly. The neck is decorated with banana leaves, followed by a band of undulating waves and another of "ruyi" over the shoulders. The sides densely painted with five meticulously rendered five-clawed dragons portrayed emerging from crashing waves and flying between stylized clouds and flames. Their bodies are coiled and show vigorous postures in which their claws formed by five phalanges stand out. In general, each of their faces, although different, show an expression of respect and perfectly convey the imposing symbolism related to the emperor.
On the base a six-characters seal mark and period of Qianlong "大清乾隆年制" (Dà qīng qiánlóng nián zhì), executed in underglaze blue.

'Cong' vase with a celadon glaze "geyao", Yuan-Ming dynasty
Porcelain covered with a thick, lustrous, celadon-blue-grey 'geyao' glaze (哥窑) with a crackled texture. The crackle shows a shade close to dark brown and cream-coloured. Impurities are visible in the glaze due to the kiln-fired method of manufacture. The figure comes from the old 'cong' shape with square-section rims and raised horizontal bands. It stands on a foot and is surmounted by a neck, both of which are short. In good condition commensurate with its age, with patina and a hole in the lower part.
The 哥窯 (Geyao) kiln was one of the five most famous kilns from the Song Dynasty and is remembered throughout the ages in the history of Chinese ceramics. The glazed ware known as 'Geyao' belongs to the celadon category because of its colour, which can vary from bluish-grey through cream to light greenish-blue. The most distinctive feature is the elegant grey-black or yellow-apricot crackle.
Height: 17.5 cm; Width: 10.5 - 10.7 cm
Provenance:
Private collection, Germany.
Purchased at the auction "Kunsthandel Klefisch GMBH" in Germany on 3 April 1993, lot 82. Attached is the auction document.
Hong Kong Fair in the 1970s. Attached original certificate of age from 1977.
