A FAMILLE VERTE ‘EIGHT IMMORTALS’ BOWL, QING DYNASTY
清代硬彩八仙人物碗

Sold for €2,022

including Buyer's Premium


Lot details

China, 18th-19th century. Delicately potted, the deep rounded sides rising from a short foot to an everted rim. Finely painted in iron-red, green, aubergine, yellow, and black enamels depicting Daoist immortals including the Eight Immortals, Shoulao, and Magu in three groups, with their characteristic attributes and accompanied by attendants. The recessed base with an underglaze-blue six-character mark da Qing Kangxi nianzhi within a double circle, and either late in the period or from the second half of the Qing dynasty.

Provenance: The present lot was part of an old estate consisting of 22 antiques, from which three were Chinese ceramics and porcelains. The deceased person was from Trelleborg in southern Sweden.
Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear and firing irregularities.

Weight: 189.2 g
Dimensions: Diameter 14.7 cm

Expert’s note: The bowl is slightly warped and the ware is thinning considerably from the base towards the lip, both being essential characteristics of authentic Kangxi porcelain. The immortals, however, seem to be copied after earlier examples, such as the two shown in the auction result comparison below. Generally speaking, copies of certain wares were made both during the Kangxi period and later in the Qing dynasty. The only thing we know absolutely for sure is that the present lot is at least 100 years old.

Auction result comparison: Compare a closely related bowl, 15.2 cm diameter, also with a Kangxi mark and of the period, at Christie’s Hong Kong in An Important Collection of Chinese Ceramics from a Private Collector on 27 November 2019, lot 2912, sold for HKD 750,000. Compare a related unmarked bowl, 18.8 cm diameter, with additional underglaze blue borders, also depicting immortals and dated to the Kangxi period, at Sotheby’s London in Important Chinese Art on 13 May 2015, lot 139, sold for GBP 30,000.


清代硬彩八仙人物碗
中國,十八至十九世紀。胎體細膩,口微外撇,深圓腹,圈足。鐵紅、綠、紫、黃、黑色琺瑯彩繪八仙、壽老、麻姑三組人物及其侍從,各具特色。圈足內雙圈內青花六字“大清康熙年製”。此碗年代或為康熙晚期,或為清代後半期。

來源:此拍品曾是一組22件古玩遺產其中的一件。此收藏一共三件中國瓷器和陶器。原主人來自瑞典南部的 Trelleborg。
品相:狀況極佳,磨損輕微,燒製瑕疵。

重量:189.2 克
尺寸:直徑14.7 釐米

專家注釋:碗稍翹,器從底部向唇部明顯變薄,是康熙瓷器的基本特徵。然而,這些不朽之作似乎是仿照早期的例子複製的,例如拍賣結果比較中的兩件作品。在康熙時期和後來的清朝,經常仿製一些特定瓷器。可以絕對肯定的是,本拍品至少有100年的歷史。

拍賣結果比較:比較一件同樣康熙款及年代的碗,直徑 15.2 厘米,見香港佳士得An Important Collection of Chinese Ceramics from a Private Collector 2019年11月27日 lot 2912, 售價HKD 750,000;比較一件無款的仙人紋碗,直徑18.8 厘米,康熙時期,見倫敦蘇富比 Important Chinese Art 2015年5月13日 lot 139, 售價GBP 30,000
