2017 marked the fifth year China Guardian (Hong Kong) set foot in the bustling city of Hong Kong. In the past year, the Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art Department has proudly achieved a total of HK$ 191 million. For the upcoming 2018 Spring Auction, we will be presenting a total of three sales spanning a variety of collecting categories.
“Ancient Chinese Ceramics from the Tang to the Song Dynasty” is a dedicated sale offering over 60 superb examples of early wares from this high period of ceramic production. This is the fourth consecutive season of specialised sales in this category leading the way in this field in Hong Kong. There are a number of important private collections—such as an Important Japanese Private Collection, the Shuxiangzhai Collection from Taiwan, and a Hong Kong Private Collection of tea wares. Of particular interest is the Green Ground Painted Cizhou ‘Peony’ Vase from the Northern Song Dynasty, a Carved Black-Glazed ‘Peony’ Vase from the Northern Song Dynasty and a Fine Carved Black-glazed Cizhou ‘Peony’ Jar from the Jin-Yuan Dynasty.
“Virtue & Purity – A Selection of Fine Chinese Jade Carvings” will include nearly 200 pieces in the sale this time. A highlight of the sale is the Pale Celadon Jade Vase, Meiping, 18th/19th Century; the large and evenly-coloured stone beautifully worked in simulating archaic bronze vessels further decorated with auspicious archaistic ruyi motifs. Another highlight is the Celadon Jade Water Buffalo, 18th/19th Century; the magnificent recumbent creature resting with four feet tucked under its cumbersome body, its head turned right revealing a powerful gaze framed by a pair of sturdy horns, and its finely incised tail naturalistically swept to the right. Other highlights include the Archaistic White Jade Axe-Head; the semi-translucent body resembles mutton-fat consistency and is considered amongst the highest quality white jade, the body is intricately worked with bands of taotie motif. Another is the superb White Jade Sceptre; the Imperial grandeur of the sceptre is represented by the auspicious peach and finger citron fruits together with a withering dragon worked in high relief.
“Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art” will include a carefully selected group of ceramics and works of art, jades, Buddhist art and scholar’s objects. Of particular note is a Finely Carved Polychrome Lacquer ‘Chun’ Box and Cover with a four-character incised and gilt inscription shouchunbaohe and a six character incised and gilt-Qianlong mark. The character chun (‘spring’) is centred within a circular panel. This type of precious box is a representation of longevity and spring; Emperor Qianlong often used this type of auspicious box during Chinese New Year and birthday celebrations. Another important imperial work of art is the Cloisonné Enamel Rectangular Censer with Dragon Handles also bearing a Qianlong mark. It was exhibited at S. Marchant & Son London in 2005. Last but not least, there is the Blue and White ‘Dragon and Phoenix’ Double-Gourd Vase from the Jiajing period. This type of vase is a masterpiece among larger pieces from the Jiajing period with the auspicious imagery reflecting the Ming Emperor’s preoccupation with longevity.
