The following is the porcelain of the Qing dynasty, 'Magnificent Chinese Imperial blue-glazed silver and gilt'Bat and Crane'vase', which was sold at the auction on May 18, 2022. is. With a height of about 61.5 cm and a width of about 42 cm, the heavens were represented by spheres in Chinese iconography, so this pottery with a spherical body is called a 'celestial sphere bottle'.
The entire vase is painted in the color sacrificial blue and is decorated with gold and silver leaf in the shape of clouds, vines, fans, whistles and bats. These designs are Taoist prayers for longevity and prosperity.
On the bottom of the celestial sphere bottle, there is a stamp indicating that it was made during the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing dynasty.
According to auction company Drewatts, the vase was bought by a British surgeon in the 1980s and passed on to his son, but he didn't know the value, so it was displayed in the kitchen. This auction was discovered by an antiques expert who visited the owner's house.
Mark Newstead, a consultant specializing in Asian ceramics at Dreweatts, said, 'The combination of silver and gold used in this vase is technically very difficult and therefore specially unusual. Therefore, this vase is probably a purple forbidden castle. Or maybe it was in another palace of the emperor. '
This 'celestial sphere bottle' is a very valuable historical gem found in ordinary households in Britain, but due to the unknown history and the history of the war between Britain and China, there are ethical issues. It has also been pointed out that it may be entangled. Justin Jacobs, a professor of history at the American University, told Live Science, a science news site, 'This vase was given to an official by the emperor, and then the official's family was economical in the 20th century. It could have been sold in the event of a predicament, or it could have been the product of a military plunder in 1860 or 1901, in which case the auction would be more morally suspicious. It will be.
