Naturalistically modeled with raised snout and staring eyes, the open mouth revealing teeth, tongue and fangs, glazed in iron-red, grisaille and famille rose.

Provenance: The collection of Florence Adele Sloane Burden of Manhattan and Long Island, New York. A great-granddaughter of Commodore Vanderbilt, Florence numbered among her cousins Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney and Consuelo Vanderbilt, Duchess of Marlborough. She traveled in Europe with Gertrude and with such friends as Helena Woolworth McCann and Henry du Pont, buying for her townhouse and for the house on Long Island, a Delano & Aldrich design built in 1913.
By descent through the family.
An American private collector.

Note: W.R. Sargent, The Copeland Collection, p. 202, notes that the records of the Dutch East India Company document an order of 25 boar's head tureens in the 1763 season. In 1764 nineteen were shipped home to Holland but a further order was not fulfilled because "the supercargoes considered them too risky." The animal tureen form was fashionable in Europe in the mid-18th century, when faience or soft-paste models were made at Strasbourg, Palissy, Chelsea, Höchst and other factories. A faience boar's head tureen made at Kiel in Denmark is illustrated by D.L. Fennimore and P.A. Halfpenny in The Campbell Collection of Soup Tureens at Winterthur, p. 173, as is a Chelsea example, p. 148, where the authors quote a Chelsea factory auction catalogue of March 18, 1755 listing "a very curious TUREEN in the form of a BOAR'S HEAD." Whether Chinese porcelain or European pottery, boar's head tureens must have made an impressive effect on the dining table, especially when filled with hot soup or stew emitting clouds of steam through the snout.

Lot 1631. A fine blue glazed bottle vase, Mark and Period of Yongzheng (1723-1735); 27 cm., 10 5/8 in. Estimate 3,800,000 — 4,500,000 HKD. Lot Sold 5,780,000 HKD. photo Sotheby's 2009

well potted with an ovoid body set with broad sloping shoulders tapering sharply to a splayed foot, surmounted by a tall cylindrical neck sweeping up to a cupped mouth, the neck collared by a pair of raised horizontal fillets, covered overall in a rich and deep indigo blue, the interior and base glaze white, the base inscribed with a six-character reign mark within double-circles.

Note: Elegantly proportioned and covered in a brilliantly intense blue glaze, the present vase is extremely rare and the only other monochrome example appears to be a red-glazed vase in the Palace Museum, Beijing, published in Qing Dynasty Imperial Kiln Porcelain, Beijing, 2005, cat. no. 10. The form of this piece is inspired by Song bottles of compressed globular form and similar horizontal ribs on the neck; for example see three vases published in the Illustrated Catalogue of Sung Dynasty Porcelain in the National Palace Museum. Southern Sung Kuan Ware, Taipei, 1974, pls. 17, 18 and 22. The inspiration for these Song wares may have come from metal water flasks or bottles of the period. The Yongzheng emperor was a great admirer of Song ceramics, and wares imitating Song glazes and shapes were made in quantities in the imperial kilns at Jingdezhen. This vase is a fine example of the adaptation of a Song form to suit contemporary taste. The proportions have been changed to make the vase appear light and balanced while still invoking a sense of the past.

This form is better known in Yongzheng wares imitating Song glazes; see a Yongzheng mark and period vase covered with a crackled Guan-type glaze, and three small rams above the foot, illustrated in John Ayers, The Baur Collection. Chinese Ceramics, vol. 3, Geneva, 1972, pl. A 348; and another Ge-type glazed example, in the Palace Museum, Beijing, published in Kangxi. Yongzheng. Qianlong. Qing Porcelain from the Palace Museum Collection, Hong Kong, 1989, p. 257, pl. 86. Compare also a flambé-glazed vase of similar shape, from the collections of W.W. Winkworth and the British Rail Pension Fund, sold in our London rooms, 12th December 1972, lot 171, again in these rooms, 16th May 1989, lot 64, and again at Christie's Hong Kong, 2nd November 1999, lot 512, from the collection from Robert Chang.
