Lot 1003 Qing Yongzheng Imperial Blue and White Glazed Red Cloud Sea Dragon Heavenly Ball Bottle
Starting price: AED 26000000
Transaction price: AED 32000000
Specification: H: 51.5cm
Auction Company: Habsburg International Auction Co., Ltd
 
Explanation: The document of the Qing Dynasty Palace Office clearly states that the instruction of "imitating ancient times still needs to produce new ones" is as follows: "On April 11, the seventh year of the Yongzheng reign, Lang Zhonghai held a gourd shaped magnetic pot. Order: Submit this pot to Nian Xiyao to imitate and burn several pieces according to its style. If the glaze water cannot be very similar, it is also possible to add a cover to the original pot." This product is also a product of this guiding ideology, The shape, dragon pattern image, and writing style of the Yongxuan Imperial Kiln are the inheritances of the Yongxuan Imperial Kiln, while the expression of blue and white with glaze inside red is an innovation of "imitating the ancient without clay". Except for this, the Beijing Palace Museum collects several excellent works of Yongzheng Imperial Kiln, and the design concept is also the same, such as the "Qing Yongzheng Blue and White Sea Water White Dragon Pattern Celestial Ball Bottle" and the "Qing Yongzheng Blue and White Sea Water Dragon Pattern Celestial Ball Bottle", with the same pattern and layout, The mother materials are all from the Yongxuan Imperial Kiln, and the innovation lies in the use of carving techniques in the white dragon, while the red dragon is painted in copper and red, contrasting with each other, which is refreshing.
 
As the prince, Yin Zhen received a good education in Han culture from a young age and was familiar with the classics of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. After succeeding to the throne, he followed the Confucian governance strategy based on the Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism theory of Emperor Kangxi, the sage. He regarded "the human heart is at risk, the Dao heart is small, the essence is unique, and he is willing to speak out" as his personal cultivation and national governance principles. He was diligent in political affairs, and although he was in power for only thirteen years, he received over 20000 Zhu Pi memorials. In addition to being diligent in politics, engaging in artistic appreciation is his great hobby. The rich collection in the inner court also provided him with a great condition for cultivating his artistic cultivation, with extraordinary taste. The aesthetics of the Song Dynasty pursued the beauty of emptiness, simplicity, and naturalness, and the aesthetic pursuit of self-expression was in line with the aesthetic taste of Emperor Yongzheng.

Due to its resemblance to the head of a deer or cow, it is known as the Deer Head Zun or the Cow Head Zun. Due to the delicate and exquisite shape of the ear, which is similar to several examples of the Yongzheng style, it may be an early imperial porcelain from the Qianlong Dynasty.

Lot 1126 Qing Qianlong Blue and White Glazed Red "Pine Age Immortal Deer" Lantern Statue
Starting price: AED 16000000
Transaction price: AED 25000000
Specification: H: 45cm
Auction Company: Habsburg International Auction Co., Ltd
 
Explanation: Blue and white glaze with red interior was first seen in the Yuan Dynasty. It was made by adding dots between the blue and white with copper red glaze and firing it with a high-temperature reducing flame. Due to the complex and demanding production techniques, there were few successful artifacts after the Yongxuan reign of the Ming Dynasty. By the time of Kangxi, the color of underglaze red gradually stabilized, and the firing of jue blue and white underglaze red also became mature, which could also represent large-scale mountain and river scenes and character story scenes. Even so, the partial color of underglaze red may be overshadowed or dull, which is still inevitable. Therefore, only one or two out of a hundred people have a comprehensive and beautiful appearance. Yongzheng Imperial Porcelain highly praises the three fish and three fruits of the Xuanyao kiln, and vigorously imitates them. The blue and white glazed red ware becomes more and more pure, with clear layers, without any turbidity or immersion. It has become the divine appearance of a king, especially pioneering the trend of a generation. During the Qianlong Dynasty, it was inherited from the previous Yu Xu period. The blue and white glaze was fired in red, making it more suitable for one's heart. The themes were rich, the composition was complex, and the painting was meticulous and refined, earning great praise from later generations.

Lot 1082 Qing Qianlong Colorful Greenbelt Rolling Road Colorful Flower Tongjing Eighteen Arhats Double Ear Bottle
Starting price: AED 13800000
Transaction price: AED 25000000
Specification: H: 37cm
Auction Company: Habsburg International Auction Co., Ltd
 
Explanation: This product depicts the eighteen Arhats in a foreign colored painting, with different postures and movements. The harmonious scenery of the mountains and rivers is extremely rare, showcasing the skills of artisans in painting. The entire painting has already had a rough draft, and it was already known to the chest before casting, indicating its extraordinary accomplishments. The landscape scenery depicted in this product incorporates various types of characters, and is illustrated by the use of bottle shaped landscape character decorations and the addition of pink green spaces above and below. This product should be a typical example of the later period of porcelain decoration design during the Qianlong period. The green space pink flower pattern on the neck and feet is similar to the color pattern of overseas colored porcelain, which may be made from brocade patterns. Tang Yingshan's paintings, either directly painted on the body of the pottery by himself or painted on porcelain by painters based on his ink paintings, still have early Qianlong treasures with Tang Yingshan's style passed down from generation to generation. The Tang kiln style can be seen from the landscape background of this bottle.
