A FINE DOUCAI AND IRON-RED ‘INDIAN
LOTUS’ BOTTLE VASE
DAOGUANG SIX-CHARACTER SEAL MARK IN IRON RED AND OF
THE PERIOD (1821-1850)
The vase is decorated on the exterior with stylised iron-red Indian
lotus blossoms enclosed within cartouches formed by underglaze-
blue vines bearing green leafy tendrils, below a narrow band of
C-scrolls around the mouth.
15 in. (38.8 cm.) high
HK$800,000-1,000,000 US$110,000-130,000
The present lot is accompanied by a certificate of antiquity from Hong
Kong Art Craft Merchants Association issued in 1978.
The delightful design on the present vase is usually found on dishes
from earlier reigns, such as a Yongzheng-marked dish decorated
with similar iron-red Indian lotus blooms borne on leafy vines, sold at
Christie’s New York, 22 March 2007, lot 349.
An identical Daoguang-marked vase of the same shape and size is in
the collection of the Shenyang Imperial Palace Museum, illustrated
in The Prime Cultural Relics Collected by Shenyang Imperial Palace
Museum: The Chinaware Volume The First Part, Shenyang, 2008, pp. fig. 1 Collection of the Shenyang Imperial
100-101, no. 5 (fig. 1). Palace Museum
