Blue and white arhat clock

[Blue and white arhat diagram clock]

Blue and white arhat diagram clock, 19.6 cm high, 14.5 cm in foot diameter
The clock is copper bell type, with double-headed button on the top. The white glaze inside the vessel has no decorative pattern, and the whole body outside the vessel is decorated with blue and white flowers. The top and near the mouth edge of the bell are painted with a blue and white intertwined pattern, the abdomen is painted with 18 arhats, and the shoulder is engraved with the inscription “Made in the first year of the dawn of the Ming Dynasty and the lunar month in the summer”
The opening of the dynasty tomorrow lasted only 7 years, and the number of handed down items is very small. This blue and white clock with a clear chronological style is a rare treasure. This bell system imitates the bronze bell in the bronze percussion instruments of the Zhou Dynasty. Its beautiful shape, smooth and smooth lines, and ingenious design of the faucet button make the delicate porcelain clock a bit dignified. On the white and moist glaze of the clock body, the eighteen arhats are depicted in neat and delicate blue and white. The figures in the picture are lying or standing, each holding a magic weapon, showing their own supernatural powers and vivid images. This clock can be regarded as an exquisite work among the most crude objects of the blue and white flowers in the sky.
