Catalogue Note
This exquisite pair of vases are remarkable for their vibrantly painted motif of bajixiang in famille-rose enamels， the richness of which is accentuated by the celadon-glazed ground. Their unusual lobed form with a flaring mock foot which resembles textile pleats， displays the Qing craftsmen’s creative virtuosity in devising new forms and designs that catered to the Qianlong emperor’s passion for opulent and exotic objects.
These vases display a fusion of Tibetan and Chinese elements through both their unusual silhouette and subject matter. The Qianlong emperor was a true believer and active practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism and built numerous monasteries and temples in both Beijing， the Yuanmingyuan Summer Palace and Chengde. He commissioned large quantities of ritual implements and sacrificial vessels to both furnish these newly built religious spaces and as gift to family and court members. His fervent support for the religion influenced the artistic direction of the Jingdezhen imperial kilns and resulted in the emergence of an innovative style that combined Tibetan iconography with Chinese decorative motifs. These vases testify to this trend； the bajixiang （Eight Auspicious Symbols）， in Sanskrit ashtamangala， important Tibetan symbols that represented aspects of the Buddha， were combined with stone chimes and a colourful palette that was pioneered by Qianlong. Their unusual lobed form， with each lobe splaying gently outwards above the foot， recalls the practice of wrapping Buddhist altar vessels and sculptures in luxuriant cloths.
Vases of this unusual form and decoration are very rare， and no other closely related example appears to have been published. A vase of similar multi-lobed form， but with the lobes continuing to the neck and foot， and described as having been inspired by the form of melons， painted in iron-red and underglaze blue with bats， stone-chimes and floral sprigs， is illustrated in Qingdai taoci daquan [An encyclopaedia of Qing porcelain]， Taipei， 1989， p. 265. See also a lobed zun-shaped vase， with floral sprigs painted in doucai enamels and attributed to the Yongzheng reign （r. 1723-1735）， in the Palace Museum， Beijing， illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures in the Palace Museum： Porcelains in Polychrome and Contrasting Colours， Hong Kong， 1999， pl. 228.
Compare also altar vessels similarly painted with bajixiang on a celadon ground， such as a censer sold in these rooms， 12th December 1989， lot 439， and again in our New York rooms， 20th March 2019， lot 542； and another sold in these rooms， 15th July 1980， lot 164.
本对瓶份粉彩八吉祥纹饰鲜艳，映衬淡雅粉青地，更见丰富。器型呈瓜棱式，外撇足形如褶襉，甚为罕见，反映清代艺匠为迎合乾隆皇帝喜好华丽奇趣工艺之品味，制成新颖器型纹饰，创意层出。
此类瓶器器型及纹饰主题独特，揉合西藏及中原工艺元素。乾隆皇帝虔奉藏传佛教，于北京、承德等地兴建寺庙，并下令制作大批礼器，陈设于新建寺庙，以及赐予皇族成员及朝官，其热心支持宗教，对景德镇御窑瓷匠创作影响甚深，成就揉合西藏及中原纹饰之创新风格，如本瓶之品正可反映此风尚；八吉祥乃重要西藏佛教符号，配合创于乾隆御窑之石钟及新颖颜彩，极为独特。而瓜棱式器型，每瓣自瓶足而发微向外撇，隐然呼应佛坛礼器及造型以华丽织品包裹之习俗。
此器型纹饰独特，据现时记载并无近例。比较一品，瓜棱式器型，瓜棱形状延续至瓶颈及瓶足，绘青花矾红彩祥蝠、石钟及花卉纹饰，图载于《清代陶瓷大全》，台北，1989年，页265。另比一鬪彩花卉纹饰例，断代雍正，现存于北京故宫博物院，载于《故宫博物院藏文物珍品大系．五彩．鬪彩》，香港，1999年，图版228。
尚有数例，八吉祥纹饰相近，青釉地，其一售于伦敦苏富比1989年12月12日，编号439，后易手于纽约苏富比2019年3月20日，编号542；其二售于伦敦苏富比1980年7月15日，编号164。
