Description

A VERY RARE AND LARGE PAIR OF FAMILLE ROSE STANDING BOYS Qianlong period, circa 1780 Modeled identically apparently from the same mold, with arms and hands in the same positions, as a pair of Chinese smiling boys looking directly forwards, both with two black hair coils and wearing brightly colored, pink-ground floral tunics and opaque cornflower-blue floral trousers, each standing on a low rectangular base. 13 1/2in (33.5cm) high (2). Footnotes: 乾隆時期 約1780年 珍稀大件粉彩童子立像一對 Published Cohen & Cohen, Baroque & Roll, Antwerp, 2015, p. 42-43, no. 31 出版: 倫敦Cohen & Cohen古董行,《Baroque & Roll》,安特衛普,2015年,頁42-43,圖版編號31 Pairs of smiling or 'laughing boys' traditionally represent the Twin Immortals of Harmony (Hehe Erxian), who symbolize togetherness, harmony and accord. They were patron deities of Chinese merchants, particularly of Chinese potters. Boys were strongly favored in Chinese culture, and these have special protective amulets (suo) around their necks in the shape of locks to ward off evil spirits. Their bracelets, traditionally worn by boys under the age of 16 years, were made from the beaten iron nails from old coffins. Slightly earlier versions of these standing 'laughing boys' are recorded mainly in famille verte enamels and occasionally in blue and white, but these large multi-colored famille rose example are very rare and almost certainly cost much more to produce originally at Jingdezhen. Famille verte versions appear in a number of collections and publications: see for example Antunes 1999, p. 61; Alves et al, 1998, no. 124, p. 318; du Boulay 1963, p. 89; a boy and a girl in the Lady Lever Gallery, Liverpool, published by Hobson 1925; and the ones formerly in the Mottahedeh Collection, New York., reproduced by Howard & Ayers 198, no. 600, p. 579. References: for famille rose enameled examples see Gyllensvärd et al 1972, no. 76, p. 295, a single figure; Howard 1997, no. 171, p. 135; Peabody Essex Museum, illustrated by Sargent 2012, no. 255, pp. 459-461 (a larger example 26 1/2in (67cm) high; Cohen & Motley 2008, no. 4.7, p. 92; Cohen & Cohen, Tyger Tyger!, Antwerp, 2016, pp. 146-147, no. 64, a pair; and Williamson 1974, plate LIX, another single figure.
