Antique Chinese Porcelain Vase Ca 1700 Kangxi Period Elephant Handle China

About the Item

Sharing with you this nice Chinese porcelain Vase from the Kangxi period. Visible in the pictures is a slender baluster-shaped vase with a gently widening body and a long neck flaring to a bell shape at the top. Attached to the neck are two opposing elephant head-shaped handles. The body is painted with individual lotus petal-shaped cartouches inscribed with children and beautiful women. The underside of the piece is marked with an artemisia leaf design. The motif of the figures of tall court ladies was commonplace in porcelain decoration from the 1680s and we come across it throughout the Kangxi period. It later gradually faded from the repertoire of the Chinese porcelain painters, however. A range of pieces with this design was also included in the cargo of the Vung Tau shipwreck.

Chinese Imari Porcelain Plate or Bowl Qing Kangxi Mark and period, Ca 1700
Located in Lincoln, Lincolnshire
This is a beautifully hand painted Chinese Export porcelain plate or bowl from the Qing, Kangxi period, 1662-1722, fully marked to the base with the Kangxi period Artemisia Leaf mark within a double blue ring. The plate is of dinner plate size, finely potted with a carefully cut base rim and a lovely rich glassy, white glaze with a light blue tinge. The plate is carefully hand painted in a free flowing style, characteristic of the period, in varying shades of a clear cobalt blue, iron red and gold. The central well is decorated in the Imari style with flowering peonies, asters and other flowers and grasses, with a small insect flying above the flowers, all within two sets of concentric blue circles. The outer rim is richly decorated with flower sprigs and leaves, all within an outer blue circle. The base of the plate has a recognized and documented hand painted Kangxi symbol of an Artemisia Leaf, within a double blue ring.
