Comments:Stacking porcelain jarsDuring the 1800s, Jingdezhen retained its status as the porcelain capital of China. These stacking jars show famous men and women from China’s past with inscriptions. The figures are from Wu Shuang Pu (Peerless Historical Figures), which was published in AD1694, depicting 40 famous people. These include Empress Wu Zetian 武则天, and the Tang poet Li Bai 李白 (701-762). Sets of stacking porcelain vessels in diminishing sizes were a new invention of the 1800s. These wares are very distinctive as they leave large areas of the white porcelain undecorated and use a palette of thickly applied enamels. The figures identified by Wenyuan Xin are:Li Bai李白 (701-762, poet, Tang dynasty,)Wu Zetian武则天 (Empress and Emperor)Di Renjie狄仁杰 (630-700, high ranking official of Tang and Zhou dynasties) Fu Sheng 伏生 (Confucian scholar during Qin and Western Han)Xie An谢安 (320-385, statesman of East Jin dynasty)Li Mi李泌 (722-789, high official of Tang dynasty) Zhuge Liang 诸葛亮 (181-234, chancellor of State Shu)Zhao E 赵娥 (filial daughter in Eastern Han)Wen Tianxiang 文天祥 (1236-1283, scholar-general of the Southern Song dynasty) Su Wu 苏武 (140-60 BC, diplomat and statesman of the Han Dynasty)Zhang Chengye张承业 (840-920, eunuch official of the late Tang period and the State Jin)Feng Dao 冯道 (882-954, the official during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period ) Cao E曹娥 (130143, filial daughter in Easter Han)
