Stuart
Stunning examples of dragon and Phoenix. Thank you for posting.
Mark
Thank you so much for your trouble, Stuart. A most interesting gallery of high quality dragon and phoenix. These are the pieces that the average collector can only dream of.
Birgit
Stuart that is amazing, thank you so much!
May I please ask about that phoenix vase I purchased a while back. I will find a photo as I doubt it is still on the site. I didn't know what the creatures on it were but you and Giovanni said they were a rare form of phoenix. Looking at their tails, are they the Huang style?
This bowl was also posted by you for comparison. I will put it in because it seems to fit the thread and may be useful to someone.
Julia
Hi Julia -
My pleasure to post ...
I tried to include only rare and/or exceptional examples of type, the painting style, skill and execution of which begins to exhibit tremendous variations from the Jiajing, post 1522 until the mid Kangxi, pre 1680’s periods ...
Yes I remember this vase, a really lovely example, with this rare phoenix type depiction ...
As mentioned to Birgit in the ‘Phoenix types’ thread, I really have not studied these Qing types in any depth ...
However, although some would imply the tail depicted appears to be a some form of ‘foliated type’, therefor inspired by/a continuation of that seen on the ‘kui’ type dragon, personally I would agree with you and say that this phoenix is a Huang (female) type ...
Stuart
Thanks, Stuart. I really appreciate you sharing your insight and expertise.
Once again Steward thanks for the lesson. If I can recall and use 10% of the information put forth by the members of this forum I would consider myself a smart man. Thank you to all.

@julia -
Hi Julia - once again, my pleasure to share!😊 ...
@ronm -
Hi Ronm - no 'lesson' intended, if indeed considered such!🤔 - as above, just a pleasure to share with all here!😊 ...
I would have given you all a '👍like' but, although it seems I can do such on others posts, still no access to on my mine?!🙄...

The art of calligraphy - and for the ancient Chinese it certainly was an art - aimed to demonstrate superior control and skill using brush and ink. Calligraphy established itself as one of the major Chinese art forms during the Han dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE), and for two millennia after, all educated men were expected to be proficient at it.
