Description:
Jar with lid, porcelain, blue and white. short globular, with short narrow neck and cylindrical, flat topped lid (b) with sides longer than neck. Dark cobalt blue symmetrical design representing flowers in vases, with the 8-treasures, and narrow band on shoulder containing the 8 emblems of the immortals. Wide band at base with vertical mountain pattern. Side of lid (b) has narrow band of ju-i scepter head pattern. More treasures on top. The flowers are Prunus (winter), peony (spring), lotus (summer), and chrysanthemum (fall); Emblems of the 8 immortals are: sword, fan, flower basket, double gourd, castenets, musical instruments, lotus, and flute; During the K’ang hsi reign the reign mark was rarely used. Furthermore, the design, sheen and high propensity to use an older reign mark on ceramics make it unlikely that this pot preceeds the 19th century.
