Herschel Vespasian Johnson served in the First World War as an officer in the US Fifty-fourth Infantry, with the Sixth Division in the Vosges Mountains and in the Meuse-Argonne offensive. Further to graduating from the University of North Carolina (1916) and Harvard Law School (1919-1920), he joined the US diplomatic service in 1920. Amongst his many appointments, he served 1934-1941 in London as First Secretary and as Counselor and then Minister. In April 1945 it was Johnson who handled the delicate communications in connection with Heinrich Himmler's unacceptable separate peace proposal, which had come via Count Folke Bernadotte of the Swedish Red Cross. In May 1946 Johnson entered a new arena as deputy U.S. representative to the United Nations Security Council. Johnson held the rank of ambassador from 9 July 1946. Under the rotation system he was president of the Security Council from 17 November to 17 December. In 1947 he served in the Spring as alternate representative to the special session of the United Nations General Assembly on the Palestine question, and, in the fall, as representative to the second session of the General Assembly. He was deputy chief of the U.S. Mission to the United Nations from July 1947 to May 1948. His last diplomatic post prior to retiring was as US Ambassador to Brazil 1948-1953.

Evenly coated with a lustrous glaze of crushed raspberry tone, ending evenly beneath the lipped rim and thickening around the base, the present waterpot is one of the finest examples of its type.

Waterpots shaped as beehives are known as taibo zun after poet Li Taibai of the Tang dynasty, who is often depicted leaning against a large wine jar of a similar form. The shape was also referred to as jizhao zun as it resembled a chicken coop.

The attractive peachbloom glaze was notoriously difficult to achieve due to the temperamental nature of the copper pigment and appears to have been only employed on a small number of shapes reserved for use on the scholar's table and created during the reign of the Kangxi Emperor.

Copper-red glazes were produced since at least the Ming dynasty, however, they were greatly improved during the Kangxi reign, most probably under the supervision of Zang Yingxuan, the Imperial supervisor who was sent to Jingdezhen in 1681 to oversee the rebuilding of the kilns. The fugitive copper-lime pigment, rather difficult to manage, would have been sprayed onto a layer of transparent glaze via a long bamboo tube and then stabilised with another coat of clear glaze.

A similar peachbloom-glazed waterpot, Kangxi mark and period, in the Palace Museum, Beijing, is illustrated in Kangxi. Yongzheng. Qianlong. Qing Porcelain from the Palace Museum Collection, Hong Kong, 1989, p.142, pl.125; three further 'peachbloom'-glazed beehive waterpots, Kangxi marks and period, are illustrated by Wang Qingzheng, Kangxi Porcelain Wares from the Shanghai Museum Collection, Hong Kong, 1998, pl.206, and M.Medley, Ming and Qing Monochrome Wares in the Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art, London, 1989, pl.580, and S.G.Valenstein, A Handbook of Chinese Ceramics, New York, 1989, pl. 234.

Compare with a similar peachbloom-glazed beehive waterpot, Kangxi mark and period, which was sold at Bonhams, London, 2 November 2023, lot 114. Two further peachbloom-glazed beehive waterpots, Kangxi marks and period, were sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 29 November 2013, lot 1904 and 31 May 2017, lot 3012.
