Chinese Blue and White Porcelain Vase from Modern Official Kiln
Located in Atlanta, GA
Dubbed as production of the "Chinese Modern Official Kiln", a small group of porcelains of the highest standard were produced in Jingdezhen from 1962-1967, The production was aimed as a revival of the Chinese porcelain after the foundation of the Republic in 1949 in order to serve the purpose of decorating the meeting halls for the newly renewed diplomatic relations around the globe. The best available materials and artists, including the painters and potters, were employed to achieve a high quality that rivaled the pieces produced during the pinnacle years in the porcelain production in the previous Qing dynasty. Due to the breakout of the Cultural Revolution, most of the pieces failed to be used as intended. Most if not all signatures, such as found on this vase, were added later as a hallmark to distinguish them. "Zhong Nai Hai Huai Ren Tang Treasures Porcelain Research Bureau year of 1962". Zhong Nai Hai is the residential and working compound for Chinese political elites in Beijing and Huai Ren Hall being an important meeting hall.
The pieces from "Modern Official Kiln" ubiquitously showcase perfectly balanced forms with precision in symmetry. The use of very high quality Gaolin clay resulted in a semi translucent body, often quite thinly potted. The superbly underglaze paint were sandwiched between a pre-applied glaze and then an overglaze, and the elaborate designs were drawn by master painters. Often, there is a hidden red Chinese National Emblem on the interior wall. These features were all well reflected in this piece. The decoration of the blue paint on the vase is of a classic regal composition and the cobalt blue is of a vivid radiating color. Blooming peonies, an old laurel tree with blossom and scholar rocks provide the background and anchor for a pair of pheasants. One raises its head to crow while the other one looks down. These motifs are commonly found in classic Chinese scroll paintings, a genre called "Flower and Bird Painting". On the back of the vase, there are Chairman Mao's head portrait watermarked in the glaze as well as a cursive poem with a collection number as shown.
For a pair of blue and white vase of the same production, see sale by Singapore International Auction PTE ltd on July 21st, 2019 lot 2014.

Chinese Famille Rose Fish Bowl with Peach Banquet, c. 1900
Located in Chicago, IL
Every inch of this fantastic Chinese fish bowl is adorned with hand-painted overglaze enamels, a manner of porcelain decorating known as famille rose. Rendered in pastel shades and gilded accents, famille rose porcelain was popular in the late Qing dynasty (1648-1911) as an export style that melded the technical virtuosity of imperial porcelain with fanciful color palettes that met Western tastes.
Beautifully painted with intricate detail and soft shading, the enameled fish bowl depicts the Eight Immortals of Taoist mythology journeying to attend the peach banquet of the Queen Mother of the West. Considered the goddess of longevity, this heavenly deity holds a banquet every 6,000 years to share her peaches of immortality, a myth popularized in the 16th-century novel Journey to the West.
The Eight Immortals each ride a mythical beast towards the Queen's mountain palace, surrounded by cranes and spotted deer for further blessings of longevity. The interior of the bowl is decorated as well, enameled with goldfish and underwater flora. Today, we love using a bowl of this scale as an indoor fish pond...
