Description:
Lid. Large guan wine jar decorated in underglaze blue with fish-dragon handles and with a silver rim mount. This large heavily potted guan jar has an ovoid body which spreads out again at the foot. It has a short neck with a raised band at its base, a dish mouth, a ridge around the shoulders and handles on either side at the neck in the form of a fish dragon. It stands on a broad foot ring and has an unglazed base. Typically of porcelain of the Yuan era, its underglaze blue decoration is arranged in contrasting horizontal bands with a broad central register decorated with peonies, viewed alternately from above or the side. Above is a band of inverted lappets framing alternating auspicious and Buddhist emblems with lingzhi fungus or lotus blooms. These emblems are: a flaming pearl, conch shells, paired rhinoceros horns, a wheel of the law, paired fish, paired ingots, paired lozenges, branch coral, a coin, books and branch coral. Around the shoulder on either side are the mythical qilin and the phoenix surrounded by lotus scroll work. The neck is painted with a band of white-crested waves and the rim with a cross-hatched border. Below the peonies is a band of chrysanthemum scrolls and lappets containing inverted lotus flowers. The neck is damaged and the silver mount was probably added in Turkey in the sixteenth century. Lotus scrolls. Made of blue underglaze porcelain. also silver.
