Description from the seller
Qing Dynasty Famille Rose Lidded Jar with Figural Narrative Scene
Dimensions:
Height: 19 cm
Condition:
Several small chips to the rim; one hairline crack to the lid; otherwise intact.
Description:
The porcelain body is fine and delicate, with a smooth, lustrous glaze. The jar has a rounded, full-bodied form with well-proportioned contours. It is covered overall in a white glaze and decorated in famille rose enamels with a lively narrative scene.
The central figure on the front is shown riding a qilin, dressed in official court robes and wearing a formal hat, projecting an air of dignity and authority. Attendants accompany him on either side, holding a ceremonial parasol, banners, and musical instruments. Each figure displays distinct expressions and natural movement, creating a vivid and animated composition. The background is adorned with pine trees and green landscape elements, contributing to an elegant and refined atmosphere.
The drapery lines of the figures are fluid and skillfully outlined. The colors are layered and well defined, bright yet harmonious, demonstrating the mature technique of famille rose enameling. The lid is decorated with ribbon-tied longevity medallions and auspicious streamers, symbolizing prosperity, good fortune, and success in official career.
This jar is finely crafted with carefully applied enamels and holds both aesthetic and collectible value.
