China, Republican Period, 20th centuryDimensions: 5 7/8 "(14.8 cm) H,1"(2.5 cm) Rim dia, 1 3/4"(4.5 cm) Base diaOf inverted balter vase form with splayed foot and elongated ovoid body rising to a tapered mouth and rounded gilt rim, The base painted with over-glaze enamel blue key fret and hex diaper pattern, the rim with a ruyi band. The body painted in over-glaze blue and famille rose palette with a costume portrait of the Yongzheng emperor as a Persian Warrior hunting peacocks. The base marked with an apocryphal four character mark of Yongzheng in over-glaze blue enamel.An unual vase, the portrait is taken from a series of 14 portraits of the Yongzheng emperor in costume guises now in the Palace Meum, Beijing which includes the emperor as a Daoist sage controlling a dragon, as a fisherman, as a Mongol lord, as a Tibetan monk, in European costume and wig hunting a tiger, in Turkish costume offering a peach to a monkey, and the subject of this vase – as a barefoot Persian or Indian hunter / bowman admiring a peacock in flight. He is dressed in a sleeved blue tunic wrapped with a stole and wears wide culottesproudly showing off gold bracelets and anklets and a large gold hoop earring. The crown is similar to a type often seen in Rajasthan miniature of the 1600’s to 1700’s, for Rajput kings and Hindu gods and avatars such as Krishna or Rama. The vase is a Republican period pastiche, not copying any Yongzheng period original, and in fact, it would have to post date the earliest publishing of album, possibly in the 1920’s. This would match the dating of the first examples of the “inverted guanyinping” the inverted Kangxi-style bottle vase which this represents.民国 珐琅彩雍正猎装图Provenance: Important Collector from Toronto来源：多伦多重要藏家
