Small Chinese Celadon Glazed Porcelain Kendi, Qing Dynasty, 18th Century, China
About the Item
A darling small Chinese celadon glazed kendi, or pouring vessel, mid Qing Dynasty, 18th century, China, for the Southeast Asian market.
The diminutive kendi of typical form, with a globular body, short neck, flanged mouth and large, voluptuous mammary spout.
The body and spout incised with a series vertical lines wrapping around the body and spout. The shoulder decorated with an incised scrolling floral design.
The kendi glazed all over in a pleasing light celadon glaze. The glaze darkening and pooling beautifully in the recessed and incised areas, creating a nice contrasting effect. The celadon glaze with an alluring crackle just under the surface.
The kendi, or pouring vessel, though ubiquitous in Southeast Asia, is one of the more unusual vessel forms. While they are made in various materials, and come in various sizes, the basic components are the same, including a globular body, narrow neck with an everted or flanged mouth, and a "mammary" spout, so named due to its resemblance to the female breast. Kendi are used in both daily and ritual life as both pouring and drinking vessels.

- Pair Chinese White Glazed Guanyin, Qing Dynasty, 18th Century, ChinaLocated in Austin, TXA sublime and rare pair of Chinese white glazed porcelain figures of Guanyin, attributed to Tang Ying (1682 - 1756), Qing Dynasty, Qianlong Period, China. This ethereal pair of white glazed porcelain figures depict the revered Buddhist Goddess of Mercy, Guanyin. Guanyin is portrayed standing, wearing heavy robes that drape beautifully around her figure. Bare feet peek out from under the hem of the robes. Her hair piled in a high chignon and covered by a cowl. The treatment of the hair, finely textured, unglazed, and with remnants of darker pigment, is typical of works by Tang Yin (1682 - 1756), who was the head of the imperial porcelain works at Jingdezhen. Guanyin's beatific face is set in a serene smile, with a small, flat nose, and downcast, heavily lidded, almond shaped eyes. A simple beaded necklace graces her chest. Her hands held out, and may have once held attributes. The hands were originally removable, but have since been permanently attached. The figures crafted of a fine porcelain and glazed all over in a supple white glaze. One figure bears a label from the Rafi Mottahedeh collection to the back. Provenance: Chinese Porcelain Company...Category
