Lot Essay

This finely enamelled pair of birds can be compared with the superb pair of famille rose phoenix from the early Qianlong period in the Chinese Pavilion at Drottningholm Palace, Sweden, noted in the Palace inventory of 1777, and illustrated in The Chinese Pavilion at Drottningholm, Ake Setterwell, Sweden, 1974, p.171. The enamels and modelling of the polychrome feathers of these phoenix also bear comparison with those of a pair of peacocks, dated to c.1850, in the James E Sowell Collection, illustrated in Mandarin and Menagerie Chinese and Japanese Export Ceramic Figures, Volume 1, Michael Cohen and William Motley, Reigate, 2008, no. 16.7, p 231.
