Footnotes

明崇禎 青花博古紋筒瓶

The design known as the 'hundred antiques' encapsulates the traditional scholar's interest in collecting various objects which symbolised his refinement and learning. It was fashionable to use antiques as decoration on porcelain in the late Ming and early Qing periods. See for example, the same motif on an ovoid jar and cover, Chongzhen, illustrated in Seventeenth century Jingdezhen Porcelain from the Shanghai Museum and the Butler Collections: Beauty's Enchantment, Shanghai, 2005, pp.90-91, no.13.

Compare with a very similar blue and white sleeve vase with the same motif of the 'hundred antiques' and flowers, Chongzhen, illustrated by J.Harrison-Hall, Ming Ceramics in the British Museum, London, 2001, p.388, no.12:87.
