Qing Dynasty Mark & Period Yongzheng Pair Of Falangcai Enamel Vases
SALE $32,000,000.
These Exquisite Famille Rose Vases are very thinly potted, and they were decorated in the Forbidden City in Beijing during the Yongzheng period 1723 to 1735. These vases were painted using Falangcai enamels and it is said that the Emperor himself oversaw the manufacture of these wares. It took such skill and control to create these Vases, Look close and you will understand what a true Chinese Ceramic Masterpiece looks like. It's important to look carefully and zoom in on the leaves, flowers, and branches you will see the detail, colors, and shading that gives balance and depth to these Vases. Collectors must learn to recognize the differences of a good piece compared to great piece or masterpieces. Most Qing Pieces if you look close at them you will see and understand they were painted by less skilled artist, they will look flat without balance, detail or depth. Pay attention to the details and color balance and shading this will help you to see and understand the difference. These vases are very delicate and decorated with branches, flowering prunus, and birds. On the reverse there is an inscribed poem with three seals. The Yongzheng mark on the base was added by the Beijing decorators in blue enamel, and the mark lines up with the poem which is typical in Yongzheng wares. The Yongzheng Falangcai color palette is distinct, making these wares easy to distinguish. This pair of vases are not exact copies of each other which is typical on Yongzheng wares. The Birds on these vases are so finely done the feathers took well over a thousand tiny strokes using a single hair brush to create their bodies this can only be seen using a loupe. Zoom in on the photos and you'll be able to see the tiny strokes on the Birds, and their bodies are only about 1/2" wide. The artist skill and control is incredible. The quality of these wares are magnificent, check your auction catalogs, books, museums, and see if you find a better pair of Yongzheng falangcai vases published anywhere. This pair of Vases measure
approx. 8 3/8 inches Tall.

This is an extremely fine incised B/W Ming Dynasty Chenghua period Imperial brush washer. This brush washer was painted in a wave pattern some crashing against the rocks with finely incised mythical animals above the water. The brush washer measures approx. 5 9/16 inches tall. Chenghua period was from 1465 - 1487. These blue and white wares are the most sought after blue and white wares China ever produced. The beautiful cobalt used during this period makes them very easy to distinguish from other periods. They have a distinct blackish tone from the imported somali blue cobalt they used during that period. They also mixed in local cobalt call pitang to stabilize the Imported cobalt because it was known to run. Most Chenghua wares don't have the heaping and piling effect because they refined the cobalt so well, pieces that have heaping and piling that breaks the surface of the glaze will show black spots or a silvery reflection not brown that would be local Chinese cobalt, The imported cobalt came from Persia

Ru Ware Collection From The Northern Song Dynasty Emperor Huizong's Personal Collection
These 2nd commissioned wares the foot rings are unglazed and they were fired flat in the kiln, and this vase shown has fire gilded over copper bands that are corroded with cup-rite and malachite. It's 100% authentic and easy to prove because of the cup-rite and malachite corrosion that takes about 900 years to develop on the fire gilded copper bands and everyone can see this easily with your own eyes also the crushed agate in the glaze can be seen with a 20x loupe! You don't have to be an expert to understand this.
I speak out to expose the corruption that permeates the entire fine Asian art market in America and the World. I started collecting in the 70s and in the 90s I began to put together a very fine collection from private Chinese sources that risk severe persecution just owning their collections that were passed down by ancestors that were in power long before the Communist.
