Expert’s note: This author suspects that many more 18th-century celadon-glazed wares once had gilt decoration similar to the present lot, but that after some of the gilt had inevitably worn off and that in most cases the entire decoration was removed. Another example of such a practice would be the Parthenon marbles, which were ‘cleaned’ by 19th and 20th century conservators who removed the flaking gilt decorations.

Description: A pair of molded lobed celadon-glazed jardinières, Qianlong incised six-character seal marks and of the period
Expert remark: Compare the closely related form, decoration, glaze, and reign marks. Note this lot comprises a pair and the gilding of both is completely worn away; according to the condition report from Christie’s, one of the jardinières “has been broken into many pieces with associated losses and has been re-stuck with heavy old restoration to large sections of the rim and elsewhere.”
