The phoenix-head spout is painted in detail with eyes and feathers of the neck and crest. Provenance: Bjorn Wiinblad collection (1918-2006).
This type of ewer, a variation of the kendi, was popular in Europe as exotic and decorative pieces. The spout is shaped like a 'feng huang' which normally translates as a 'phoenix'.

It is the ruler of all feathered creatures and has many connotations, amongst those of the female principle and sexuality. height: 26cm. 10 1/4in.

Chinese blue and white rouleau vase, Kangxi (1662- Ref: TL363
Chinese blue and white rouleau vase, Kangxi (1662-1722), of cylindrical form, with a broad base and sloping shoulders tapering into a cylindrical neck, which has a sharp everted upright rim. There is a neatly shaped foot and on the base a double circle.The court scene with many attendants is framed by clouds and a clump of plantain leaves growing by a rock. As with the Yen-Yen vase, this shape also belonged to the same repertoire that developed during the early Kangxi period. Whilst it is based on the rolwagen shape of the Transitional period, here the body tapers towards the base and both the neck and the rim are much more pronounced. The shape had reached its definitive form by the end of the 1690's and was produced until the late Kangxi period. Height: 44 cm, condition: There is a restored hairline crack of approximately 15 cm to the body of the vase along with a small chip of approximately 1 cm in length on the inside of the foot rim. There are also small areas of fritting around the lower neck rim. The blue is much brighter than that shown in the image.
