Hawks were highly prized in China for their strength and intelligence, and they were used in hunting since at least Marco Polo's time. The famous explorer recorded "quite five hundred" trained birds of prey that traveled with the 13th century Emperor Qubilai. Pairs of Qianlong period porcelain hawks appear in Chinese art but cloisonne enamel hawks are rare and pairs are even more unusual. Quails, cranes, doves are more commonly depicted in cloisonne enamel. The present lot may be directly compared to the single white-ground cloisonné enamel standing hawk from the Qianlong period in the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, MO, inv. no. 64-29/2. A turquoise-ground cloisonne enamel hawk of similar form, size and date was sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 27 May 2008, lot 1874.
