               A CLOISONNE ENAMEL
               GU-FORM VASE
               KANGXI PERIOD (1662-1722)
               The vase is cast with a trumpet neck,
               square-form mid-section and spreading
               foot, each applied with four evenly spaced
               flanges. Each side of the mid-section is
               finely enamelled with a taotie mask, the
               neck and foot decorated with stylised
               plantain leaves, all against a rich turquoise
               ground. The base is cast with an apocryphal
               four-character Jingtai mark.
               13ƒ in. (34.4 cm.) high
               HK$260,000-400,000
               US$34,000-51,000
               The current vase is nearly identical to, and
               possibly the pair to a cloisonné vase in the
               Pierre Uldry collection which is illustrated by
               Helmut Brinker and Albert Lutz in Chinese
               Cloisonné: Pierre Uldry Collection, London,
               1989, pl. 211. Not only are the exterior
               decorations extremely similar, both are also
               similar in size, with apocryphal four-character
               Jingtai marks on the bases.
