清康熙 青花《飲中八仙》人物圖花口碗

Provenance:
Bonhams San Francisco, 18 December 2007, lot 4378

來源：
舊金山邦瀚斯，2007 年 12 月 18 日，拍品編號 4378

Inspired by the poem 'Eight Immortals of the Wine Cup (Yinzhong baxian)' written by the famous Tang dynasty poet Du Fu (AD 712-770), the present bowl wonderfully captures eight historically notable wine drinking scenes, including one of his great friend Li Bai (AD 701-62), who is also a renowned poet.

A comparable Kangxi period blue and white bowl with drinking motif is in Chen Runmin, Qing Shunzhi Kangxi chao qinghua ci (Qing dynasty blue and white porcelain of the Shunzhi and Kangxi periods), Beijing, 2005, pp. 236-237, pl. 148. See also one at the Taipei Palace Museum (coll. no. 故瓷007827N000000000), and another previously in the collection of Julia and John Curtis, sold at Christie's New York, 16 March 2015, lot 3588.
