The taste for what was later named 'famille noire' was almost exclusively a Western taste developed in the Kangxi period. These sumptuous wares were esteemed by collectors in that period, such as Augustus the Strong of Saxony (1670-1733) and much later became highly desirable amongst major turn of the century collectors like Frick, Widener, Garland and Salting.
The inner petals of the peony painted on the present lot are divided into two sides in the shape of double horns. This is commonly known in Chinese as 'double horn peonies' (雙犄牡丹). This type of pattern appeared in the Shunzhi period and lasted well into the Kangxi and Qianlong periods, but later became a marker for dating early Qing porcelain. See a related famille noire baluster vase, Kangxi, with similar decoration, in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, Salting Bequest, (acc.no.C.1311-1910). See also a similar famille noire jar and cover, Kangxi, illustrated by A.du Boulay, Christie's Pictorial History of Chinese Ceramics, Oxford, 1984, p.233, no.12
