Chinese Blue and White Fu Lion Headrest
Located in Chicago, IL
This small ceramic block is actually a form of Chinese headrest or neck pillow. Popular during the Qing dynasty, rigid headrests such as this were used by upper-class women to protect their elaborate hairstyles by elevating the head during slumber. This example dates to the mid-20th century and is glazed in the blue-and-white style with dark, cobalt-blue color.
Each side of the headrest has a quadrilobe cartouche framing two mythical fu lions playing with a brocade ball, a motif that evokes the idiom "may you and your descendant achieve high rank." A powerful and benevolent guardian, the fu lion (shizi) is the perfect force to protect against nightmares and bad energy. The playful scene is surrounded by a cracked ice pattern dotted with plum blossoms, symbols of winter and longevity. A geometric meander trims the corners and small bats frame coin...

Sven Wejesfelt, Large Blue and Red Stoneware Bowl , Gustavsberg, Sweden 1991
Located in Tokyo, 13
Sven Wejesfelt, Large bowl with a glossy glaze of mixed blue and red, Gustavsberg , Sweden 1991 Impressed "Swen" "G (hand) " UNIK 91.
This is a large size bowl piece by Sven Wejesfelt, an artist who worked at the Gustavsberg Pottery in Sweden.
Wejesfelt worked as a wheelwright at Rorstrand from 1946-53 before moving to Gustavsberg in 1953. He worked as a wheelwright for Stig Lindberg for a long time, and in 1974 he became the Art Director of Gustavsberg. He is a rare Scandinavian artist who throws, glazes, and fires all of his own work, and is famous in Sweden as the second most famous potter after Berndt Friberg. He continued to make pottery until his death in 2009, and in his final years he sold his glazes and recipes.
This large bowl is entirely covered with a bright red cinnabar glaze, which is then covered with a double layer of bright blue glaze, blending with each other. The bright blue glaze is covered with a fine white furrow that gives it a vivid and lively appearance, as if oil paints had just been applied to it. The cinnabar glaze appears on the bottom and around the base, and the red of the prospective vase is particularly vivid. The contrast between the blue and red is so strong that it takes your breath away when you look into the vase. The glaze is slightly viscous, and when you touch it with your finger, it is raised, giving an uneven surface. This piece was exhibited in the exhibition "Modernism and Mingei: Nordic Ceramics...

Chinese Blue and White Porcelain Vase from Modern Official Kiln
Located in Atlanta, GA
Dubbed as production of the "Chinese Modern Official Kiln", a small group of porcelains of the highest standard were produced in Jingdezhen from 1962-1967, The production was aimed as a revival of the Chinese porcelain after the foundation of the Republic in 1949 in order to serve the purpose of decorating the meeting halls for the newly renewed diplomatic relations around the globe. The best available materials and artists, including the painters and potters, were employed to achieve a high quality that rivaled the pieces produced during the pinnacle years in the porcelain production in the previous Qing dynasty. Due to the breakout of the Cultural Revolution, most of the pieces failed to be used as intended. Most if not all signatures, such as found on this vase, were added later as a hallmark to distinguish them. "Zhong Nai Hai Huai Ren Tang Treasures Porcelain Research Bureau year of 1962". Zhong Nai Hai is the residential and working compound for Chinese political elites in Beijing and Huai Ren Hall being an important meeting hall.
The pieces from "Modern Official Kiln" ubiquitously showcase perfectly balanced forms with precision in symmetry. The use of very high quality Gaolin clay resulted in a semi translucent body, often quite thinly potted. The superbly underglaze paint were sandwiched between a pre-applied glaze and then an overglaze, and the elaborate designs were drawn by master painters. Often, there is a hidden red Chinese National Emblem on the interior wall. These features were all well reflected in this piece. The decoration of the blue paint on the vase is of a classic regal composition and the cobalt blue is of a vivid radiating color. Blooming peonies, an old laurel tree with blossom and scholar rocks provide the background and anchor for a pair of peasants. One raises its head to crow while the other one looks down. These motifs are commonly found in classic Chinese scroll paintings, a genre called "Flower and Bird Painting". On the back of the vase, there are Chairman Mao's head portrait watermarked in the glaze as well as a cursive poem with a collection number as shown.
For a pair of blue and white vase of the same production, see sale by Singapore International Auction PTE ltd on July 21st, 2019 lot 2014.
