Description

A BLUE AND WHITE ‘ELEPHANT’ KENDI, WANLI PERIOD

China, 1573-1620. Well modeled standing foursquare, the pachyderm’s head thrust into the air, its truncated tusks forming the double spout, its back surmounted by a tall cylindrical vase, painted in underglaze blue with a tasseled saddle decorated to both sides with a central blossom on stylized waves, all below a scalloped band of scrolls. The vase featuring a bird on rockwork issuing flowers, above the crescent moon, and a floral band encircling the upper rim. The neck decorated with a band suspending beaded tassels. The base unglazed.

Provenance
: Property from a European Private Collection. The base lacquered with an old inventory number ‘J. No 444’, and a label inscribed ‘4.131’.
Condition: Good condition with expected wear and manufacturing irregularities including small firing cracks, dark spots, and a central luting line. One short hairline crack (ca. 3.5 cm) to the neck, one small chip and three minute hairlines on the nose, few minor chips to the mouth rim.

Weight: 664 g
Dimensions: Height 18.8 cm

The elephant is an auspicious symbol which is used in numerous rebuses to convey peace, prosperity, and good fortune. In Buddhism, elephants are regarded as one of the Seven Treasures and in a broader context are seen as symbols of strength, wisdom, and power. The combination of elephant and vase forms a play on words, taiping yoxiang, which sounds like ‘peaceful times.’
