清康熙 青花博物圖觚式瓶

The Hundred Antiques (Bai Gu 百古) motif, popular on Kangxi period blue and white vases, symbolises cultural refinement and Confucian ideals. Featuring archaic bronzes, scholarly tools, and auspicious objects, it reflects the Qing Court's antiquarian tastes. See a similar motif on a blue and white jardineire, Kangxi, in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in Qing Shunzhi Kangxi chao qinghuaci, Beijing, 2005, p.498.
Compare with a similar blue and white gu vase, Kangxi, which was sold at Christie's London, 11 May 2010, lot 269.
