拍品描述
A LARGE IMPERIAL CLOISONNé ENAMEL ARCHAISTIC CENSER AND COVER, FANGDING, QIANLONG MARK AND PERIOD
China, 1736-1795. The tapering rectangular censer has twin upright handles and is decorated to each side with massive raised flanges separating finely enameled taotie masks surrounded by and below a band of confronting kui dragons, all supported on four blade-shaped legs emerging from mythical-beast terminals. The reticulated gilt copper alloy cover is decorated with pierced foliage, enameled with angular scrolls, and surmounted by a gilt finial in the shape of a Buddhist lion. The cover is neatly incised with a horizontal six-character mark da Qing Qianlong nianzhi on a gilt plaque and of the period.

Provenance: Hong Kong trade. By repute acquired from an old private estate.
Condition: Magnificent condition with minor wear and manufacturing irregularities, including expected pitting and tiny casting holes. The censer wobbles very slightly. No restorations or fills of any kind visible under the examination of strong UV light. Note that such a general state of preservation on a censer from this period is extremely rare.

Weight: 8,338 g
Dimensions: Height 44.5 cm, Width 27.7 cm

With a custom fitted silk storage box. (2)

The shape of this censer is based on ancient bronze vessels. The finely gilt blade-shaped legs, loop handles and flanges, along with the wide spreading taotie masks, all have their prototypes in Zhou dynasty bronzes, many of which are illustrated in Xiqing Gujian, ‘Inspection of Antiques from the Zhou Dynasty’, the catalogs of ancient bronzes in the Qing Court Collection compiled under the authorization of the Qianlong Emperor in 1755. Censers of this type not only served as an important part of the palace furnishing, but were also used in rituals, banquets, and imperial ceremonies.

Literature comparison:
Several similar cloisonné fangding-form censers have been preserved in the Qing Court Collection, which are found in varying sizes with different combinations of decorative elements. Compare the fangding with cover with a cloisonné enamel Qianlong six-character mark, similarly decorated with taotie design but with flat dragon-form legs in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, illustrated in Enamel Ware in the Ming and Ch’ing Dynasties, Taipei, 1999, no. 59 (33.8 cm). Compare also three examples in the Palace Museum, Beijing, the first dated to the early Qing dynasty with a gilt openwork cover, lion-form finial and flat blade-shaped legs (35.6 cm), the second with a cast Qianlong six-character mark without a cover and decorated with angular chilong motifs (28.7 cm), the third with a cast Qianlong four-character mark and decorated with taotie design with blade-shaped feet (48.3 cm), illustrated in Compendium of Collections in the Palace Museum, Enamels - 2 - Cloisonne in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), Beijing, 2011, nos. 68, 245 and 246, respectively. Compare also one with a lion-form finial and reticulated panels on the cover (38 cm) in the Shenyang Imperial Palace Museum, illustrated in The Prime Cultural Relics Collected by Shenyang Imperial Palace Museum - The Enamel Volume, Shenyang, 2007, pp. 146-147, no. 1.

Type: Closely related
Auction: Christie’s Hong Kong, 2 December 2015, lot 3250
Price: HKD 1,240,000 or approx. EUR 168,000 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing
Description: A cloisonné enamel archaistic censer and cover, fangding, Qianlong period
Expert remark: Compare the closely related form and decoration as well as the similar size of 48.2 cm, the difference of 3.7 cm owed solely to the fact that the Buddhist lion on top of this censer has its body raised in an alert position, while it is shown in a rather huddled position on the present lot. Note also the absence of a reign mark.
