This baluster shape, heavily decorated, in a combination of vivid under glaze cobalt blue and over glaze enamels of green, iron-red, yellow and aubergine - with a design that covers the whole of the globular body. The short straight neck – with a rounded lip – is painted in a frieze of alternating plantain leaves in enamels of blue, red and green. The jar has a flat unglazed base. The shoulder has a “cracked-ice” border. The design to the body is of four highly stylised blue peaks emerging from a sea of green-crested waves and red foam, amongst which are four galloping horses - two in yellow and two in aubergine. Under each horse there are examples of the “Eight Buddhist Emblems”, whilst the shoulder offers examples of the “Eight Precious Objects”. The domed flared cover is again decorated in a repetition of the body – with auspicious symbols with an onion-shaped knob. Height with cover 40 cm.

Wear, fritting/chip to the rim. Cracks.

Alkuperä - Provenienssi

Purchased from Sworders Fine Art Auctioneers, England, April 2009, Lot 130.

The Avalon Collection.

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.
