A VERY FINE AND RARE CHINESE OFFICIAL WARE FAMILLE-ROSE "SCHOLARS" VASE, HUAI REN TANG ZHI FOUR-CHARACTER IRON RED SEAL MARK, HONGXIAN PERIOD (1915 - 1916)
The vase is finely decorated with six scholars reading a scroll under pine trees.
Porcelain bearing the Huairentang mark was primarily produced during the Republican period (1912–1949). The most representative group belongs to the so-called "Hongxian ware," commissioned under the supervision of Guo Baochang during the brief reign of Yuan Shikai (1915–1916). This series, together with wares bearing the "Jurentang" and "Jingyuantang" marks, forms part of the finest official porcelains of the Republican era. Characterised by its finely potted bodies, pure and delicate glazes, and exquisitely executed enamel decoration, the group is particularly prized due to its extremely short production period—lasting only a few months—and its limited output of approximately 6,000 pieces, making it one of the most important and sought-after categories of Republican porcelain. A smaller vase (28.2cm high) with Jurentang mark, see Sotheby's London, 5 November 2025, lot 46.
洪宪官窑 「懷仁堂製」 粉彩人物圖瓶
此瓶通體精工繪飾六位文士於松樹下展卷研讀，人物神態生動，意境清雅。
「懷仁堂」款瓷器主要燒製於民國時期（1912–1949），其中以袁世凱稱帝時期（1915–1916），由郭葆昌督造的「洪憲瓷」最具代表性。該系列與「居仁堂」「靜遠堂」款同屬民國時期的高端官窯瓷器，胎體細膩，釉質潔白溫潤，彩繪工藝精湛。因其燒造時間極短（僅數月），存世數量有限（約6000件），遂成為民國瓷器中最為珍罕且備受推崇的收藏門類之一。
可資比較：一件帶「居仁堂」款小瓶（高28.2厘米），見倫敦蘇富比，2025年11月5日，拍品編號46。
