拍品專文

The inspiration for both shape and decoration comes from ancient bronzes, and the cloisonné craftsman has skilfully adapted the bronze designs to 18th century cloisonné style.
The central section bears playful masks derived from ancient taotie masks. The eyes of the creature are framed by curly eyebrows and smooth horns ensuring a complete lack of ferocity.
The foot and the neck are decorated with stylised scrolls and kui dragons also derived from ancient bronzes patterns.
A cloisonné zun with a cast Qianlong four-character mark, from the Alfred Morrison Collection, Fonthill Heirlooms, was sold in our London Rooms, 9 November 2004, lot 45. The quality of the enamelling, the refinement and elaboration of the archaistic patterns, make this vase and the present one very similar.
Another zun vase with Qianlong mark is kept in the Palace Museum, Beijing and illustrated in Metal-bodied Enamel Ware - The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Hong Kong 2002, p.119, pl.115.
