CATALOGUE NOTE

Elegantly painted with birds in blossoming trees reminiscent of that found in albums and paintings, this jardinière is a fine example of the mature style of Kangxi imperial porcelain. The large vessel has been formed in a mould, rather than thrown on a wheel, to great success: the technical feat of successfully creating a precise and harmonious form of this size is remarkable. Jardinières of this type appear to have been made in pairs, of which large square-section planters with canted corners and a continuous waisted foot, as seen here, are the rarest of the formulations. For the companion to the present piece, see one in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, illustrated in Sekai toji zenshu / Ceramic Art of the World, vol. 15, Tokyo, 1983, pls 5 and 6. A further jardinière of this type, with a slightly varied rendering of the bird and flower theme, from the Qing court collection and still in Beijing, is published in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum. Porcelains in Polychrome and Contrasting Colours, Hong Kong, 1999, no. 95.

Peter Y.K. Lam, in ‘Lang Tingji and the Porcelain of the Late Kangxi Period’, Transactions of the Oriental Ceramic Society, vol. 68, 2003-2004, p. 44, suggests that these jardinières were produced in the latter years of the Kangxi reign, possibly commissioned for the Emperor’s 70th birthday, which would have occurred in 1723. Paintings of Qing imperial birthdays illustrate the display of jardinières, antiquities, and artworks as part of the opulent celebrations, which suggests that this group of imperially marked jardinières would have been filled with appropriate plants and placed on view for guests to admire during the festivities. For paintings illustrating the Kangxi Emperor’s 60th birthday celebration and the Qianlong Emperor’s 70th birthday celebrations, see two included in the exhibition China: The Three Emperors, 1662-1795, Royal Academy of Arts, London, 2005, cat. nos 25 and 26.

According to Lam, the style of the reign marks on the jardinière also point to a date late in the Kangxi Emperor’s reign. His research indicates that between 1713 and 1722, artisans began writing ‘Qing’ with a vertical interior stroke in the ‘moon’ radical (Peter Y. K. Lam, ‘Lang Tingji and the Porcelain of the Late Kangxi Period’, Transactions of the Oriental Ceramic Society, vol. 68, 2003-2004, p. 44). This is precisely the style of reign mark that occurs on the present jardinière and others of its type.

Imperial Kangxi jardinières of this group share a number of features including the impressive size, faceted bodies and six-character reign marks on the underside of the rim. A closely related Kangxi-marked jardinière of this size, also decorated with birds among bamboo, was sold at Christie’s New York, 19th September 1996, lot 287. A jardinière of this form, but decorated with Xiwangmu on one side and attendants on the other sides, was sold at Christie’s London, 15th May 2007, lot 282, and again in our New York rooms, 20th March 2018, lot 367, from the Jie Rui Tang collection; and another, but of elongated hexagonal form and bracket-lobed rim, from the Qing Court collection, is included in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum. Porcelains in Polychrome and Contrasting Colours, op. cit., no. 192. Compare also a bird and flower decorated jardinière of hexagonal form, but with shaped rim and raised on four ruyi-form legs, the Kangxi reign mark in black enamel, sold twice at Christie’s London, 19th April 1983, lot 357, and 12th November 2002, lot 72.

CATALOGUE NOTE
SOWING THE SEEDS OF LONGEVITY:
IMPERIAL ‘BIRTHDAY’ JARDINIERES OF THE LATE KANGXI PERIOD
The present jardinière represents the pinnacle of doucai porcelain in the Kangxi period. The colors are clear and crisp, applied in a harmonious balance of soft and vibrant tones, imbuing the coursing waves, mythical beasts, and immortal maidens with dynamism and vivacity. The boldness of the enamels and scale of the vessel mark a departure from delicate, restrained doucai porcelains of the Ming dynasty. The brushwork, too, places the jardinière in a mature phase of Qing dynasty porcelain production. As James Watt observed, jardinières of this type adopt Transitional Period Daoist subject matter, yet they have finer brushwork, a higher level of detail, and pictorial elements borrowed from woodblock-printed pattern books and painting manuals, all of which characterize Qing porcelain painting in the eighteenth century (Wen C. Fong and James C. Y. Watt, Possessing the Past: Treasures from the National Palace Museum, Taipei, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, p. 506). According to Peter Y. K. Lam, the style of the reign marks on the jardinière also point to a date late in the Kangxi emperor’s reign. His research indicates that between 1713 and 1722, artisans began writing ‘Qing’ with a vertical interior stroke in the ‘moon’ radical (Peter Y. K. Lam, ‘Lang Tingji and the Porcelain of the Late Kangxi Period’, Transactions of the Oriental Ceramic Society, vol. 68, 2003-2004, p. 44). This is precisely the style of reign mark that occurs on the present jardinière and others of its type.

Lam further proposes that porcelains combining longevity subjects and this style of reign mark were produced in 1722 in anticipation of the Emperor’s 70th birthday the following year (ibid., p. 44). This corroborates Watt’s opinion that the National Palace Museum’s jardinière of a similar subject and style was made as part of a set specifically for the Kangxi emperor’s birthday (op. cit., p. 506). Paintings of Qing imperial birthdays illustrate the display of jardinières, antiquities, and artworks as part of the opulent celebrations, which suggests that this group of imperially marked ‘longevity’ jardinières would have been filled with appropriate plants and placed on view for guests to admire during the festivities. For paintings illustrating the Kangxi emperor’s 60th birthday celebration and the Qianlong emperor’s 70th birthday celebration, see China: The Three Emperors, 1662-1795, Royal Academy of Arts, London, 2005, cat. nos 25 and 26.

Imperial Kangxi jardinières of this birthday-themed group share a number of features including impressive size, doucai decoration, faceted bodies, immortality motifs, and two horizontal six-character reign marks inscribed in underglaze blue on the underside of the rim. Known examples have either six or eight sides, an everted rim that is either shaped or geometric, and either a continuous waisted foot or multiple ruyi-form feet. The large square-section planters with canted corners and a continuous waisted foot, as seen here, are the rarest of the formulations. A famille-verte jardinière of this form with bird and flower motifs from the Qing Court Collection and now in the Palace Museum is illustrated in Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Porcelains in Polychrome and Contrasting Colors, Hong Kong, 1999, cat. no. 95. A jardinière of related form, with the same base decoration but with bird and flower decoration from the collection of Brooke Astor was sold in these rooms, 24th September 2012, lot 626.

Three doucai jardinières belonging to the Imperial ‘birthday’ group have remained in the Palace collections. An elongated hexagonal example with a waisted foot, shaped rim, and an image of male immortals by a roiling sea is now in the Palace Museum, Beijing, ibid., cat. no. 192 (fig. 1). A second jardinière with this shape and subject, but supported on ruyi feet, is in the collection of the National Palace Museum, Taipei, illustrated by Wen C. Fong and James C. Y. Watt, op. cit., pl. 289. The third of this type, also in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, is of hexagonal form set on ruyi feet, illustrated in Porcelain of the National Palace Museum: Enameled Ware of the Qing Dynasty, vol. 1, Hong Kong, 1969, pl. 5. A related pair of elongated hexagonal jardinières with male Daoist immortals and lobed rims sold at Sotheby’s London, 10th July 1979, lot 175. A similar example with male immortals, a shaped rim, and a diaper pattern around the waisted foot sold at Christie’s Hong Kong, 28th November 2005, lot 1336. Another jardinière, also with male Daoist immortals and a shaped rim but resting on ruyi feet sold at Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 31st October – 1st November 1974, lot 271 and again at Christie’s New York, 15th-16th September 2011, lot 1549. In each case, the reign mark is written in the same manner with a vertical stroke at the interior of the ‘moon’ radical in ‘Qing’.
