Provenance: From a Danish private collection. Old collector’s note, ‘China ca. 1680 […] transitional […] Ming […] Ching […] Kangshi’ is accompanying this lot.
Condition: Very good condition with old wear and firing flaws, such as pitting, dark spots, and glaze recesses. Minute frits, glaze flakes, and microscopic surface scratches throughout.
Weight: 673 g

During the early Qing dynasty, up until the early 1680s, conditions were unsettled in China and the making of Imperial wares as well as the use of reign marks on porcelain was restricted in various ways. During this period, different types of other marks came into use, including lingzhi fungus marks and double circles.
Literature comparison: A related Kangxi-period mallet-form blue and white vase in the Palace Museum, Beijing, is illustrated in Qingdai yuyao ciqi, vol. I, part II, Beijing 2005, pp. 102-3, no. 40. Vases of this mallet or ‘horse hoof’ shape with similar decoration in copper red are in the Shanghai Museum, illustrated by Wang Qingzheng (ed.) in Kangxi Porcelain from the Shanghai Museum Collection, Hong Kong, 1998, p. 108, no. 71, and in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, illustrated in Sekai Toji Zenshu, vol. 15, Tokyo, 1983, pl. 141.
Auction result comparison: Compare a closely related blue and white mallet vase with stylized phoenixes, also dated to the Kangxi period and with an artemisia leaf mark, at Christie’s New York in Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art on 15 September 2017, lot 1201, sold for USD 40,000. Compare also a related mallet vase decorated in copper red, olive green, pink, and underglaze blue, also dated to the Kangxi period but with a six-character Kangxi mark, at Christie’s New York in Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art on 19 September 2014, lot 795, sold for USD 47,500.
