A blue and white porcelain jar and cover
Transitional period
Of ovoid form with a stiff leaf band encircling the waisted neck above a continuous scene of a civil official standing beneath an umbrella amid servants and suppliants in an edited garden setting of exotic rocks and banana trees, the slightly concave base left unglazed and the assembled cover painted with children at play (cover with losses, jar with large crack).
