Description
A RETICULATED HEXAGONAL PORCELAIN LANTERN, KANGXI
China, 1662-1722. Each side with a central, recessed roundel enameled with peonies, prunus and chrysanthemum, all set within neatly modeled openwork panels framed by iron-red floral borders, the conforming base similarly reticulated. (2)
Provenance: From an old European private collection.
Condition: Wear and traces of use, some firing flaws. The lantern with few old repairs, quite well visible, no spraying. The base in excellent condition.
Weight: 1,017.8 g (total)
Dimensions: Height 29.5 cm (total)
Note that early examples of this type of lantern are quite rare and almost never appear in good condition, due to the highly fragile nature of their design. They are not to be confused with late Qing or Republic era examples, which typically have neon colors and pressed (not modeled) openwork panels.
