A VERY LARGE UNDERGLAZE COPPER-RED-DECORATED BOTTLE VASE, KANGXI PERIOD

China, 1662-1722. The pear-shaped body rising from a round base to a tall cylindric neck with a small mouth, masterfully painted to the body with three running mythical beasts, a bixie, a Buddhist lion and a deer, implying power, avoidance of evil spirits and nobility, in soft copper-red silhouettes, their eyes dramatically picked out in underglaze blue. Covered in a smooth transparent glaze, the unglazed base with concentric rings in slight relief, the inner of the neck unglazed as well.

Provenance: Austrian private collection.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and firing irregularities including pitting, dark spots, and glaze recesses. Tiny nicks to the base.

Weight: 2,478 g
Dimensions: Height 48.5 cm

The use of copper-red at Jingdezhen was revived under the Kangxi Emperor after the decline in its usage after the 15th century in his quest to reproduce classic Ming porcelain designs. The high level of technical knowledge of the potters is evident in their ability to control the temperamental copper-red pigment to produce finely painted and fired wares. The present vase is an outstanding example of this ability as the simple yet skillfully applied brush strokes, in which the three mythical animals have been executed, are still clearly visible.
