A MAGNIFICENT YANGCAI RETICULATED AND ROTATING ‘DRAGON BOAT’ VASE

QIANLONG SIX-CHARACTER SEAL MARK IN UNDERGLAZE BLUE AND OF THE PERIOD (1736-1795)

The lantern-form outer body is carved with four openwork interlocked ruyi-shaped panels each enclosing a wan emblem, against a lime-green enamelled lattice-work ground, the body rising from a spreading foot with a floral scroll on a pink-ground with dense puce-enamelled feathery scrolls between a keyfret band below and above. The detachable waisted neck is similarly decorated below a ruyi-border below the gilt rim, flanked by a pair of dragon-form handles. The inner cylindrical vase is finely painted with four dragon boats, filled with boys rowing, with spectators watching along the banks, standing on the bridge, or sitting inside a pavilion. The inner neck and the base are enamelled turquoise.

15 3/4 in. (40 cm.) high
