A GILT FAMILLE VERTE ‘LEAPING CARP’ CHARGER, KANGXI PERIOD
康熙硬彩描金開光鯉魚躍龍門盤
Sold for €9,750
including Buyer's Premium
China, 1662-1722. The shallow rounded sides rising from a short tapered foot to a broad flared rim, finely painted in gilt and bright enamels with a giant carp, its magnificent scales neatly rendered in gilt, rising from the swirling and crashing waves below with two smaller fish and flower heads, all below scrolling clouds, enclosed by a single line band.
Provenance: Property from a distinguished American collection. Christie’s New York, 27 January 2014, lot 352, sold for USD 22,500 (ca. USD 27,000 in today's currency after inflation). A private collector, acquired from the above.
Condition: Good condition with minor wear and firing irregularities, some fritting and few shallow chips to mouth and foot rims, minor rubbing to enamels. The gilt is extremely well preserved.
Weight: 1,674 g
Dimensions: Diameter 35.5 cm
The recessed base with a lozenge mark within a double circle. The rim with shaped reserves enclosing fish and floral sprays against a diapered floral ground.
The carp symbolizes courage and perseverance because of the Dragon Gate fable wherein carp, defying the odds, swim up a waterfall and are transformed into benevolent and powerful dragons.
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. The mark found on the present lot, in the form of a lozenge, an important Taoist symbol, appears to be rare but is clearly part of the same group.

康熙硬彩描金開光鯉魚躍龍門盤
中國，1662-1722年。折沿，淺斜腹，圈足。盤内開光描金描繪一條巨大的鯉魚躍龍門，魚鱗描金，水中波浪翻滾，蓮花漂浮其中。盤沿上錦地如意形開光内小魚游戲。
來源：美國知名收藏。紐約佳士得2014年1月27日 lot 352, 售價USD 22,500 (相當於現在的 USD 27,000 )；私人藏家購於上述收藏。
品相：狀況良好，有輕微磨損和燒製瑕疵，邊沿和足部邊緣有一些熔塊和少量磕損，琺瑯有輕微摩擦。描金保存極好。
重量：1,674 克
尺寸：直徑35.5 厘米
圈足内青花雙圈並菱形款。
鯉魚象徵勇氣和毅力，因為傳説中鯉魚不畏險阻，勇躍龍門，比喻升官等飛黃騰達，或者逆流前進，奮發向上。
清初至1680年代初，中國局勢動盪，御器製作和瓷器年號的使用受到各種限制。 在此期間，出現了不同類型的款記，包括靈芝和雙圈標記。 本拍品上發現的菱形印記是道教的重要象徵，看似罕見，但顯然屬於同一情況。
