AN EXTREMELY RARE QIANLONG PERIOD
CINNABAR LACQUER EMBELLISHED JADE BOWL
Celadon and grey streaked jade, smooth surface polish,
cinnabar lacquer
China, Qianlong Period (1736-1795)

This unique jade and lacquer bowl dates to the Qianlong
period and there is only one other cinnabar lacquer
embellished bowl published according to our records
(please see literature comparison further below).

The jade bowl is delicately carved to perfection, with a
flared rim and an accentuated round foot. The exterior is
covered with red lacquer carved to depict two Imperial,
five-clawed dragons in chase of the magical pearl. The
scenery is set against a dense cloud foliage and whilst
neck and foot rims show a plain border, a fine leaf band
is adorning the lower part.

The 18th century was a period of experimentation in
which the Qianlong Emperor in particular, was very keen
to combine or simulate different materials – the bowl at
hand is a perfect example for those artistic efforts.

Shape: Bowl shape
Dimensions: 4,8cm (height), 9,5 cm (diameter)
Condition: Excellent condition with fine hand patina
Provenance: American Private collection
Literature comparison: Christie’s, The Imperial Sale
Important Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art, Hong
Kong, 31 May 2010, lot 1913 (for the only other known
example of a cinnabar lacquer embellished jade bowl, here
with lotus décor and bearing the Qianlong reign mark).
