拍品专文


The elephant is the embodiment of strength, wisdom and intelligence, and the vase represents eternal harmony. The combination of the two conveys the rebus taiping youxiang, 'peaceful times' or 'when there is peace, there are signs'.
Compare the present lot to a pair of elephants carrying baluster vases rather than double gourds formerly in the collection of Esmond Harmsworth, 2nd Viscount Rothermere (1898-1978), Daylesford House, Gloucestershire, sold at Christie's London, 13 June 2018, lot 70 (£50,000 including premium).
