A small group of independent ceramicists in Jingdezhen produced considerable numbers of carved quality porcelain during the later 19th century. Among this group were famous potters like Zhang Mianyi and Wang Bingrong. At that time, some porcelain workshops started carving ceramic vessels, such as snuff bottles or brush pots, as a diversification and improvement from the earlier practice of molding. The uniformity and depth of the characters, as exemplified by the present lot, can only be achieved by careful and steady carving, which takes a lot of time and a highly advanced skillset.

The monochrome glaze serves to highlight the sheer quality of the carving, unlike in molded designs, which almost always show painted details in polychrome enamels, gilt, and iron red. These details serve to ‘hide’ the many imperfections of the molded design. As opposed to that, the glaze - which pools around the characters –highlights every single imperfection to the design … unless there simply is none, such as in the present lot.

The Heart Sutra is known also as the Prajnaparamita sutra and was translated into Chinese in the 7th century by the pilgrim monk Xuanzang on the orders of the Emperor Gaozong (reigned 649-683 AD). It was one of the principal scriptures of the Madhyamika school of Buddhism, founded by the great Buddhist philosopher Nagarjuna (c. 100-200 BC), mostly because of its emphasis on true wisdom which eventually leads to enlightenment.

Scholars agree that the Heart Sutra is the most recited, copied, and studied scripture in East Asian Buddhism. It is recited by adherents of the Mahayana schools regardless of sectarian affiliation with the exception of Shin and Nichiren Buddhists. In Sanskrit, the title translates to ‘The heart of perfect wisdom.’ In the Heart Sutra, Avalokiteshvara addresses Sariputra, explaining the fundamental emptiness of all events, known through and as the five aggregates of human existence: form, feeling, volitions, perceptions, and consciousness. Avalokiteshvara famously states, ‘Form is emptiness. Emptiness is form,’ and declares the other skandhas to be equally empty.
