A CLOISONNÉ ENAMEL ‘MAGPIES AND PRUNUS’ PLAQUE, QIANLONG TO JIAQING PERIOD
乾隆嘉慶時期銅胎掐絲琺琅喜鵲梅花掛屏
Sold for €6,952
including Buyer's Premium
China, 1736-1820. Of rectangular form, finely enameled with six magpies, five of them perched on branches of a gnarled, densely blossoming prunus tree. The sixth standing on the rock below, scattered with bamboo and shrubs, all against a vibrant turquoise ground and framed by a gilt-bronze border. The reverse with original rivets along the edges.
Provenance: From an English private collection.
Condition: Overall good condition with old wear, manufacturing flaws, expected pitting and crackle, minor nicks and light scratches, some dents, minor hairlines, the plaque slightly warped overall. The reverse with a fine, naturally grown, dark patina.
Weight: 3,031 g
Dimensions: Size 45 x 39 cm
Expert’s note: In China, magpies are seen as messengers of joy, while the character for ‘prunus’ is homophonic with the character for ‘eyebrows’. Together, the two motifs form a rebus on the phrase ‘Joy up to one’s eyebrows’.
Literature comparison: For a panel of similar size and decoration, see Brinker and Lutz, Chinese Cloisonné: The Pierre Uldry Collection, nos. 311, 313, and 314.
Auction result comparison: Compare a related cloisonné panel with cranes, dated to the 18th century, at Bonhams London in Asian Decorative and Export Art on 6 March 2007, lot 18, sold for GBP 16,800.
