Description:
Slightly skim the mouth, deep arc wall, and circle the foot. The inner and outer walls of the whole vessel are painted with white glaze. About three quarters of the outer walls are painted with green landscapes and figures. Villages and small bridges can be seen between the landscapes. Two people sit in the same room, one is rowing a boat on the stream, one is carrying a load, and the other two are working on a shed near the stream. In the remaining blank area of the outer wall, there is an inscription in ink: “There are many green trees in Liancun Village, and there are orioles singing in the long sun.” Before and after the poem, red materials are used to depict the three seals of “longevity”, “mountain height” and “water length”. The three seals are different. The inner wall of the bowl is pure white, simple and without decorative patterns. White glaze is applied to the inside and outside of the circle foot, and a circle of body is exposed at the foot end. On the outsole, there is a blue book “made in Yongzheng’s year” in imitation Song style regular script, with two side frames. The shape, size and style of this piece are the same as those of the old porcelain 13987. The patterns are similar but the details are slightly different. The number of people in the pattern is different from the action of the characters.
