Lot details

China, 1736-1795. Each bowl is finely decorated to the exterior with a band of the Eight Buddhist Emblems ‘bajixiang’ above lotus blooms growing from elaborate scrolling foliage. The interiors are decorated with a central stylized shou roundel and the feet with bands of scroll, floral sprays, and scrolling vines. Each base with an underglaze-blue six-character seal mark da Qing Qianlong nianzhi and of the period.

Provenance: A notable private collector in Kensington, London, United Kingdom. Christie’s London, 6 November 2018, lot 176, bought-in at an estimate of GBP 30,000-50,000.
Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear and minimal firing irregularities.

Weight: 309.6 g and 310.5 g
Dimensions: Height 8.2 cm (each), Diameter 14.9 cm and 15 cm

Shou is the Chinese character for longevity, which together with the Eight Buddhist Emblems (bajixiang) – Pair of Fish, Victory Banner, Wheel of Dharma, Parasol, Lotus, Endless Knot, Treasure Vase, and Conch Shell – makes this a pair of splendidly auspicious stem bowls.

Auction result comparison: Compare a closely related single blue and white bowl, also with an underglaze-blue six-character Qianlong seal mark and of the period as well as of near-identical form and design, but slightly larger size (18.5 cm diameter), at Bonhams London in Fine Chinese Art on 10 November 2011, lot 43, sold for GBP 51,650 (for a single bowl).
