the Countess travelled extensively around India, South East Asia and the Far East. Later in life,
after discovering her second husband - Italian aristocrat, Count Golferelli - was a bigamist, she
fled back to England. Settling in St John’s Wood, she became an international buyer for the
John Lewis Partnership where she worked until she was ninety years old.

清十九世纪粉彩庭院人物图盖瓶

Wall vases, also known as wall pockets or sedan chair vases, can be
traced back to the Wanli period (1573-1620) in the Ming dynasty, when
examples can be found for flower displays on the wall. During the
18th century under the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (1735-1796),
government support for arts and craftsmanship reached its peak,
the quality of the refined material and the artistic innovation all
representative of the emperor’s ambition. Wall vases, of all porcelain
forms, became one of Qianlong’s favourite types and developed
significantly during his reign. There are thirteen wall vases in varying
glazes and forms on the wall of San Xi Tang (The Hall of Three Rarities),
the emperor’s special study in Yang Xin Dian (Hall of Mental Cultivation)
in the Forbidden City, where he housed his most prized possession:
the calligraphic works comprising ‘Timely Clearing After Snowfall’ by
Wang Xizhi, ‘Mid-Autumn’ by Wang Xianzhi and ‘Boyuan’ by Wang Xun
(fig.1).
There are 320 Qianlong wall vases recorded in the collection of the
Palace Museum in Beijing and about 138 of them are inscribed with
poems by the emperor. Only a few of these poems are from Yuzhi
Leshan Tang quanji [The complete Works by His Majesty from the
Hall of Pleasure in Goodness], which were written by him as Heshuo
Bao Qinwang (Prince Bao of the First Rank), his title from 1722 to
his accession in 1735, and which were first printed in 1737 (fig.2).
According to Zaoban Chu Gezuo Chengzuo Huoji Qingdang [The
Archives of the Imperial Workshops], on the 23rd of September in
the 7th year of the Qianlong period (1742), the emperor specifically
commissioned Tang Ying (1682-1756) to produce porcelains with
selected poems from Leshan Tang quanji. And on the 16th of October
in the 17th year (1752), the emperor instructed Tang Ying that instead
of the poems from the Leshan Tang quanji, which were written when
he was still a prince, only poems composed after his accession in
1735 should be used (see Chi Jo-hsin, ‘cong wenwu kan Qianlong
huangdi [understanding Qianlong Emperor through artifacts]’,
Emperor Ch’ien-lung’s Grand Cultural Enterprise, National Palace
Museum, Taipei, 2002, p.233). In view of this the present wall vase must
have been produced between 1742 and 1752, as part of a larger order
which included the pair of vases in the collection of the Palace Museum:
all three are identical but for their differing poems; see Poem and
Porcelain: The Yu Zhi Shi Ceramics in the Palace Museum, Beijing, 2016,
pl. 46 (fig.3).
Enhancing the rarity of the present lot, is its yangcai (foreign colours)
decoration, which was introduced by European Jesuit craftsmen to
the Qing court around 1685, adapting the European techniques of
enamelling on metal. This resulted not only in an enriched palette of
colours, but also in a combination of European brocade-like designs,
using tonal effects to appear three-dimensional, and purely Chinese
elements such as scrolling lotus motifs. Developed in the Jingdezhen
imperial workshops under the patronage of the Qianlong Emperor,
this style is representative of the superb quality of porcelain production
achieved during the Qianlong reign. Special orders of yangcai are
believed to date from only a few years in the early 1740s, with none
after Tang Ying’s death in 1756. For more examples of yangcai enamels
on sgraffito grounds, see Huali cai ci: Qianlong yangcai/Stunning
Decorative Porcelains from the Ch’ien-lung Reign, National Palace
Museum, Taipei, 2008.
