Lot details

China, 1644-1912. The pear-shaped body rising from a tall spreading foot to a waisted neck with everted rim, painted in bright enamels with fifteen luohan engaged in various pursuits, including Asita playing with his long eyebrows, Maitreya riding a tiger, Vijraputra holding a lion cub over his head, Angida (Budai) seated on a throne, and others.

Provenance: The property of a Lady in the United Kingdom.
Condition: Very good condition with minor old wear and firing irregularities, few minor losses to enamels, occasional light scratches.

Weight: 4,115 g
Dimensions: Height 45 cm

The foot with a band of Buddhist symbols within shaped reserves alternating with chrysanthemum sprays against a red ground. The neck with a band of key-fret below the rim.

Expert’s note: While there are eighteen luohan in total, the present vase shows only fifteen. However, one luohan is carrying a large sack with three smiling boys in it. This could be intended as a depiction of the three future luohan, thus completing the group of eighteen. In any case, the three boys are also an auspicious symbol, signifying a wish for many sons.

Auction result comparison: For an early 18th-century famille verte yuhuchunping, but of considerably smaller size (22.3 cm high), see Christie’s London, Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art, 15 May 2007, lot 381, sold for GBP 36,000.

清代罕見大型硬彩羅漢玉壺春瓶
中國,1644-1912年。梨形玉壺春瓶呈撇口、束頸、溜肩、垂腹、高圈足外撇。鮮豔琺瑯描繪了十五位羅漢,各行其道,有長眉羅漢、騎虎彌勒佛、笑獅羅漢與布袋和尚。

來源:英國一位女士收藏。
品相:狀況極好,有輕微的舊時磨損和燒製不規則現象,有輕微的釉彩缺損與輕微劃痕。

重量:4,115 克
尺寸:高45 厘米

專家注釋:一般情況為十八羅漢,但這裡只展現了十五位羅漢。不過,一個羅漢拖著一個大袋子,裡面裝著三個笑嘻嘻的童子。 這可能是為了描繪三個未來的羅漢,從而完成十八人組。 無論如何,這三個童子也是一個吉祥的象徵,象徵著多子多孫。

拍賣結果比較:一件 十八世紀初硬彩玉壺春瓶,但尺寸稍小 (高22.3 厘米),見倫敦佳士得Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art 2007年5月15日 lot 381, 售價GBP 36,000
