This extremely rare dragon and phoenix design is a reinterpretation of a design that originated in the Kangxi period. Only two further bowls of this type appear to be known; one from the Paul and Helen Bernat collection was sold in our Hong Kong rooms, 15th November 1988, lot 27; and another was sold in our London rooms, 27th November 1973, lot 314.
This pair of bowls is outstanding for the quality of the decoration, with the dragons and phoenix painted in brilliant wucai enamels on a contrasting ground of soft doucai flower scrolls. The birds are unusually finely drawn, with wings displayed outstretched and elaborate tail feathers, rising towards the rim instead of swooping down towards the foot in the more common wucai versions of this bowl. The widely-flared form and the lotus scrolls replacing the usual composite floral scroll are also rare on bowls of this type.
The wucai version of the dragon and phoenix design remained popular throughout the Qing dynasty; for a Kangxi prototype, see a pair in the Palace Museum, Beijing, included in the exhibition Kangxi. Empereur de Chine, Musée National du Chateau de Versailles, Versailles, 2004, cat. no. 59; a Yongzheng version, from the collection of Eugene Y.C. Sung, sold in these rooms, 16th September 2009, lot 285; a Qianlong bowl, from the collection of Rende Zhai, sold at Christie’s New York, 23rd March 2012, lot 2056; and a Jiaqing example sold in our Hong Kong rooms, 7th April 2015, lot 3703.
