A LARGE FAMILLE-VERTE ‘YENYEN’ VASE, QING DYNASTY, KANGXI PERIOD, the ovoid body rising
from a flared foot to a tall trumpet neck and flaring rim, the body painted to a softer effect with a serene lotus pond harboring egrets and
mandarin ducks, the calm waters depicted with fine iron-red strokes from which emerge a colorful, resplendent array of leafing, flowering
lotus, the upper register boldly enameled with a continuous scene of birds and a large butterfly amidst lush peony, dahlia, prunus, and
lotus above a stippled green-ground collar encircling the base of the neck with further blossoms
