Mughal jade pieces were first introduced to China during the middle of the Qianlong Emperor’s reign, with the first tribute piece recorded for 1756. The emperor was fascinated by the beauty of these thinly carved and nature-inspired pieces, thus initiating the production of Mughal-influenced wares in the Palace Workshops. Compare another Mughal-style teapot, sold in these rooms, 11th April 2008, lot 2871.
Mughal prototypes for the present piece include four teapots in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, included in the Museum’s exhibition Exquisite Beauty. Islamic Jades, 2007, cat. nos. 96-99. Each of these vessels has a long tubular spout, are of compressed globular form with shallow carving to the exterior, and have a flower on the base. Such Mughal elements have been sinicised through the traditional lotus scroll that adorns the body, the lose ring handle and thicker walls.
