• Description:
  The translucent white body glass bottle is painted on a corner of the suburban garden with enamel material. The slope stone is jagged and the flowers and trees are quiet. By the bamboo fence, mother and son lean on the stone to read. The woman wore a folded branch flower on her head, and the child wore a yellow cedar, showing the reading situation in outdoor classes. On the white body, there is a poem written in ink: “The branches bear unlimited moons, and the flowers are full of natural autumn”, and there are three kinds of red seals, namely “Gao Zhi”, “Bi Lu” and “Autumn Ice”. The poem comes from the poem “Chanting Gui” by Li Qiao of Tang Dynasty. The same poem inscription and seal were also found in the imperial porcelain body paintings of the Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties.
