A NEAR PAIR OF HEXAGONAL SHAPED FAMILLE VERTE PORCELAIN VASES AND STANDS
China, Qing Dynasty, Kangxi period
A pair of octagonal vases on scalloped footrings, with bulbous bodies with eight flattened vertical lobes. Wide, octagonal necks rising from squat bulbous swellings above the bodies and ending in trumpet mouths. Each originally with two moulded porcelain handles lately replaced by silver ones. Separate stands with four bent legs standing on flat, four-lobed glazed bases with spurmarks. Decorated in famille verte enamels with flowers encased within reserved medallions against geometrical patterns grounds.
H (each):
1. It is remarkable that both those vases still have their original stands. A Chinese archaic bronze might have served as a model for the shape of those vases. The original porcelain handles, later replaced by silver handles, are a characteristic feature of the Qing porcelains referred to as “twig handles” by Donnelly in his book about “blanc de Chine”.
2. That pair of vases might have been part of a five-piece garniture set. Indeed, one of this kind is preserved at the Frick Collection, New York, The United States of America, under accession number 1918.8.05, a gift of Henry Clay Frick (1849-1919).
3. Also see a related single vase preserved at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, under accession number AK-NM-6425-B.
