This remarkable piece of Vietnamese raw-formed （生結） kinam incensewood, weighing some five jin(~5.5lbs), carries the soft, waxy texture and fine, long oil lines prized in the finest kinam. Its clean aroma bears the cooling sensation and gentle tongue-numbing quality that set true kinam apart.

Offered from the private collection of Fung Yiu-fai 馮耀輝 of Liangyizang 兩依藏, who has pursued fine incense for more than three decades, and formerly with Matsueido 松榮堂 of Japan, the piece drew sustained bidding in the saleroom.

Leading our upcoming China Guardian Hong Kong Autumn Auctions 2026 are two magnificent moon flasks, each representing the absolute pinnacle of Qing imperial ceramic artistry and distinguished private provenance.

𝐒𝐢𝐳𝐞: 𝟑𝟕.𝟏 𝐜𝐦 (𝟏𝟒 𝟓/𝟖 𝐢𝐧) 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡
𝐄𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐮𝐩𝐨𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 估價待詢

Known as “moonflask”, the form traces its origins to early Ming prototypes, while the Yongzheng imperial kilns transformed it through a distinctly refined and poetic aesthetic.

Across the two sides unfolds an auspicious garden scene of magpies among pomegranate blossoms and fruit, paired with quails amid bamboo, chrysanthemums and hibiscus.
The imagery conveys wishes for joy, peace, longevity and abundant offspring. Rendered in underglaze blue and layered overglaze colours, delicate butterflies and bees bring lightness and movement to the composition.

This moonflask has a distinguished provenance from the Leshantang Collection, and was featured in major publications and exhibitions. No identical example is presently known in major public or private collections.
Its combination of monumental form, sophisticated polychrome decoration and auspicious courtly imagery makes it a remarkable testament to the artistic achievements of the Yongzheng imperial kilns.

🎋Leading our upcoming China Guardian Hong Kong Autumn Auctions 2026 is a magnificent moon flask, representing the absolute pinnacle of Qing imperial ceramic artistry and distinguished private provenance.

🐉𝐋𝐨𝐭 𝟏𝟑𝟎𝟑
𝐀 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐛 𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐧-𝐆𝐥𝐚𝐳𝐞𝐝 ‘𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐨𝐧’ 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐤, 𝐁𝐚𝐨𝐲𝐮𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐐𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐢𝐱-𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐎𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐝 (𝟏𝟕𝟑𝟔-𝟏𝟕𝟗𝟓) 清乾隆粉青釉浮雕海水立龍紋雙耳抱月瓶
𝐒𝐢𝐳𝐞: 𝟐𝟏 𝐜𝐦 (𝟖 𝟏/𝟒 𝐢𝐧) 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡
𝐄𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐮𝐩𝐨𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 估價待詢

Beneath the translucent 𝘧𝘦𝘯𝘲𝘪𝘯𝘨 glaze, five-clawed dragons rise through crashing waves and auspicious clouds, their powerful forms articulated through finely carved low relief.

Known in Qing records as ‘Gonghua’, this technique allows the glaze to flow naturally across the raised decoration, creating subtle variations of tone and depth.

It was in the collection of Earl and Irene Morse, one of the most important American private collections of Chinese ceramics of the 20th century, and was exhibited at the China Institute in New York in 1972.

Few comparable examples are known, and no identical example has been identified in major public or private collections. It offers a rare glimpse into the Qianlong imperial kiln’s pursuit of innovation through the revival of classical forms.
