A Transitional Wucai jar with cover, 17th Century.

Decorated with Shou Lao along with the immortals in landscape setting. Height with cover 37 cm.

Restored. Cover transition but not original.

Provenance

The Avalon Collection. Purshased at Tajan in Paris in April 2013.

This collection, which in the main focuses on the Interregnum and Kangxi periods has been both carefully and sensitively formed over the last twenty-five years. The collector, a member of the English Oriental Ceramic Society, has assembled the collection with an eye for provenance whilst purchasing from old European collections, well-established antique dealers and at auction.

Academically, the pieces have been well researched both in terms of their symbolism and narrative themes. In many instances the imagery on the pieces has been referenced to episodes in the romantic and historic novels of Chinese mythology, which were used extensively in the decoration of seventeenth century Chinese porcelain.
