PROVENANCE

Sold at Sotheby’s London, 9 and 10 November 2005, lot 747

The present decorative scheme is highly unusual and no other example
appears to have been published. This technique is an extension of the
famille noire decorative style, but only employs green enamels which
when layered with black, produces a particularly lustrous effect which
was not easy to achieve and which accounts for the rarity of pieces
produced in this technique in the later Yongzheng and Qianlong
periods. Yongzheng marked examples include a saucer dish and a
globular bottle vase, in the Baur Collection, Geneva, illustrated by
J. Ayers in the Catalogue, vol. IV, no. A568-69; and a vase sold at
Christie’s Hong Kong, 26 September 1989, lot 630, and now in the
Sanbao Tang Collection, illustrated by P.Y.K. Lam, ‘Myriad Longevity
Without Boundaries’, Arts of Asia, vol. 40, September-October 2010,
p. 111, no. 6. Qianlong-marked examples include the large dish sold at
Christie’s London, 5 June 1995, lot 210, and sold again at Sotheby’s
Hong Kong, 10 April 2006, lot 1520.
