Description from the seller
A fine Chinese blue and white prunus jar dating to the Qing Dynasty.
This is a particularly well-made example, with a finely potted body and smooth, refined porcelain. The piece weighs 580g, indicating the use of high-quality clay and careful craftsmanship. The cobalt blue decoration is vibrant and richly toned, while the prunus blossom design is executed with delicate brushwork and excellent shading. The foot has been neatly finished and the overall proportions are well balanced.
The neck is decorated with a finely painted geometric border, and notably the rim has been left unglazed, a feature occasionally found on quality Qing examples. The base bears a double blue circle mark.
This jar has been part of my personal collection for many years and has always been one of my favourite study pieces. It is an excellent example for collectors and students wishing to appreciate the quality of Qing Dynasty blue and white porcelain. Equally, it is a delightful cabinet piece that sits comfortably in the hand and is enjoyable to handle and examine.
