Polychrome | 形色

The Polychrome returns with its customary breadth, bringing together distinguished private collections from Hong Kong and across Asia, with Ming and Qing porcelain, jades, gold work and more. Foremost among the highlights is a Kangxi hexagonal jardinière, painted in underglaze blue with the Immortals; the strength of the cobalt and the assurance of the brushwork animate a scene of figures and auspicious beasts. A Yongzheng celadon-glazed waterpot is distinguished by its glaze soft and evenly disposed, and its provenance equally notable: exhibited as early as 1954 at the Taiwan Provincial Museum, the forerunner of the Museum of History in Taipei, making it a genuine rarity with a documented history.

「形色」專場延續一貫的豐富選品，匯集多組香港及亚洲私人珍藏之明清瓷器、高古玉器及金器等等。焦點拍品包括一件清康熙青花群仙祝壽圖六方花盆，畫工精湛，青花發色明艷，線條勾勒細緻，畫中人物與瑞獸神態靈動，躍然瓷上。另一件清雍正豆青釉水盂則展現了清雅溫潤的釉色，且來源顯赫，早於一九五四年便曾展出於台灣省立博物館（即歷史博物館前身），傳承有序，彌足珍貴。
