清康熙 青花蕭何月下追韓信圖長頸瓶
Han Xin 韓信 (died 196 BC) was a military general who served Liu Bang 劉邦 (died 195 BC) in founding the Han dynasty. Initially, Liu Bang was not impressed with Han Xin and put him in charge of food supplies. This dissatisfied Han Xin who attempted to desert under the cover of darkness. Xiao He 蕭何 (died 193 BC), one of Liu Bang's chief advisers, upon hearing he had left, pursued Han Xin to bring him back, ultimately resulting in Xiao's promotion to the rank of general. According to some versions of the story, Xiao He was unable to catch up to Han Xin because the rise in water level prevented Han from crossing the river. In the Jin dynasty, Jin Renjie wrote the play 'Xiao He Chasing after Han Xin under the Moon' in which Xiao He invited Han Xin for a boat ride after catching up with him; several other Ming dynasty versions of the story also existed.
The original story, recorded in Sima Qian's Shiji (史記), would have resonated strongly with many scholar-officials during the late Ming dynasty, who felt their talents to serve in the government were not being appreciated under the waning Ming empire. The same motif can be found on a baluster vase, c.1635-40, illustrated in , Alexandria, 1990, p.78, no.37.
See a similar blue and white pear-shaped vase, Kangxi, illustrated in , vol.VII (Porcelains), New York, 1974, pp.30-31. See also a very similar blue and white vase, with the same design, Kangxi, illustrated in , Hong Kong, 2019, pp.48-49.
Compare with a related blue and white vase, Kangxi period, which was sold at Bonhams London, 3 November 2022, lot 42.
