About the Item
The scene depicted in the porcelain is inspired by "The Romance of the Western Chamber" (西厢记), which is one of the most famous Chinese classical novels and was among the first to be introduced to the Western audience. The novel, known for its secular love themes, was widely appreciated by the Chinese populace and served as a cultural bridge to the West due to its rich representation of lay Chinese life and sentiments.
"The Romance of the Western Chamber" tells the story of the love between a young scholar and a beautiful woman, which faces various obstacles and societal pressures. The novel's themes and scenes have been popular motifs in Chinese art and porcelain, reflecting the story's influence and the appreciation for literature in Chinese culture.

* The Ca Mau Cargo
The Ca Mau Cargo refers to a Chinese cargo sunken sometime between 1723 and 1735 off the coast of Vietnam’s farthest point in the South China Sea, discovered by Vietnamese fishermen in 1998. It is believed the ship was a Chinese merchant’s cargo on its way from Canton (Guangzhou) to Batavia when it caught fire and sank. The merchant had ordered the goods on board for Dutch traders, who had limited access to China and its ports.
* Porcelain for the European Market
The Ca Mau Cargo consisted of numerous types of porcelain, chinaware and blue and white wares, all designed for the European market. Blue and white ceramics recovered from the cargo appear decorated with the so-called ‘Scheveningen landscape’, also known as ‘Deshima décor’. This motif usually depicted a traditional Dutch fishing village, executed in Chinese style. Chinese wares with Western motives were extremely popular and made to order and were known as ‘China de commande’.

Mid-size Octagonal Saucer, Qing Dynasty, Kangxi era, circa 1690.
Located in seoul, KR
The design features a central medallion surrounded by eight panels, each intricately painted with traditional Chinese botanical and floral motifs.
The number 8 in Chinese culture is associated with prosperity and is considered very auspicious. This may reflect the traditional Chinese cosmological concept of the "Bagua," which are eight trigrams used in Taoist philosophy to represent fundamental principles of reality, seen in various aspects of Chinese culture, including the I Ching and Feng Shui.
The central circle with radiating petals is also a representation of perfect geometric harmony, reflecting the balance and unity which are key elements in Chinese aesthetics. The use of symmetry and balance is seen as a way to represent the harmony of the universe.
