Royal Doulton Henry V. Of Agincourt Hn3927:
Henry V at Agincourt HN3947 has vibrant bright colors, deep blue and red, the piece was designed by Alan Maslankowski and released in 1997 as part of Royal Doulton’s Prestige line. Henry V at Agincourt in Bone China. Alan Maslankowski has chosen King Henry V of England as the subject of this extraordinary Prestige piece. Though his troops were low on supplies and heavily out-numbered by the French, (some say 10-1), Henry V was able to win the Battle of Agincourt by arming thousands of them with longbows. This seminal win in the 100 Years’ War enabled Henry V to marry the French princess and sire a new King of France. King Henry’s amazing victory at Agincourt has been celebrated in William Shakespeares play, Henry V. Swathed in England’s coat of arms, the King and his horse valiantly ride through the grassy terrain of the battlefield. The famous speech from Shakespeare’s play has been artfully inscribed around the base of the figure, made to resemble the pages of an illuminated manuscript from the middle ages.

A Chinese carved and underglaze red “Dragons and Waves” vase, Meiping Yongzheng six-character mark and of the period:
Of robust form with swelling shoulder, short cylindrical neck and flared lip and foot, the shoulder carved in low relief with two dramatic sinuous five-clawed dragons, above a smaller pair of incised dragons at the foot, all depicted against stylized crashing wave in underglaze red, a pale blue tint to the glaze, underside with six-character mark within a double circle.
(H: 11 1/8 in.)
Provenance: The Collection of Sheelah M. Langan (1910-1993), thence by descent in the family of the present owner. Sheelah Langan served in the United States Foreign Service, joining during World War II, retiring in 1970. She was variously posted to Rome, Bangkok, Tripoli, Rabat, Athens, London, Bogota and Mexico City.
NOTE: The present vase is a rare example of a small group of wares made for the Yongzheng court, inspired by Yongle period (1402-1424) porcelain prototypes, themselves based on Yuan styles of decoration, which feature reserved dragons carved in low relief against a ground of crashing waves executed in variations of underglaze blue and red.
There appear to be two closely related Yongzheng mark and period types of which the present vase is a part: One version, slightly larger at about 13 ¼-13 3/8″ in height and with more stylized crashing waves, is typified by the examples in the collection of the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in “The Complete Collections of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Blue and White Porcelain with Underglaze Red (III), 2012, p. 187, no. 171, the meiping bequeathed to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York by Mrs. H. O. Havemeyer in 1929, #29.100.312, and the example formerly in the collection of Stephen Junkunc, III, sold at Christie’s New York, September 21, 1995, lot 225. The second group, to which the present vase belongs, includes a meiping sold in London in 1966 and now at the Cleveland Museum Of Art, Ohio, bequest of Mrs. Severance A. Millikin #1989.314 , and another, formerly in the collection of the Manno Art Museum, Japan, sold at Christie’s, London, June 21, 2001, lot 109. This second subgroup appears to be more solidly potted and more closely emulating the Yongle period prototypes.
Compare the series of reconstructed Ming meipings excavated at the Imperial kiln sites at Dongmentou in 1994 and Zhushan in 1999 and 2003, illustrated in “Imperial Porcelains from the Reigns of Hongwu and Yongle in the Ming Dynasty”, Beijing, 2015, pp. 173-179, nos. 79-82. For other examples of Yongzheng mark and period porcelains with carved dragons reserved against a blue-decorated ground in the Palace Museum, Beijing, see “The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Blue and White Porcelain with Underglaze Red” (III), pp. 90, 115, 116, nos. 76, 101, 102.
In the description for the Palace Museum meiping cited above, the author discusses the theme of larger and smaller dragons and relates them to the saying “Canlong jiaozi”, which may be translated as “the Eastern [Blue] dragon teaching his son”. This has been variously understood to imply not only the importance of teaching the young, but also to bring one’s descendants up to succeed in court or higher office. This would certainly have had relevance for the Yongzheng Emperor who succeeded his illustrious father, the Kangxi Emperor, and in turn was to nurture the development of his own son, the Qianlong Emperor. These three Emperors reigned over what may be described as a golden age for China and the Arts. Hajni Elias, in her essay discussing an enameled dragon vase from the Qianlong reign, sold at Sotheby’s, Hong Kong, April 3, 2019, lot 3614, also notes a cultural source of the saying as “having been recorded in the Song dynasty (960-1279) Confucian reading primer, the Sanzi jing [Three Character Classics]”.
