A GILT-DECORATED BLACK-GLAZED PEAR-SHAPED VASE
KANGXI PERIOD (1662-1722)
The bulbous body is decorated in gilt with alternating taotie masks and
shou-character roundels reserved on a diaper ground beneath a narrow
band of beribboned emblems and prunus blossoms. The wide, flaring neck
is decorated with stylized plantain leaves alternating with lappets beneath
further shou characters.
15º in. (38.7 cm.) high
$25,000-35,000
PROVENANCE:
Private collection, France.
Duchange and Riche Asian Art, Brussels.

The luminous black glaze of this vase is known as 'noir miroir' or 'mirror black'
for its dark, glassy surface. This rich color combined with the shimmering
gilt-decoration creates an arresting and sumptuous effect. A Kangxi-period
mirror-black-glazed vase of the same shape, but of slightly smaller size (37.8
cm.) and lacking the gilt decoration, from the Collection of Robert Hatfield
Ellsworth, sold at Christie’s New York, 19 March 2015, lot 447.
