About the Item

Very beautiful large white-blue porcelain basin or fruit bowl or cup. The large white bowl is decorated with a blue floral-themed composition, including foliage, lotus flowers and magnolias and an Asian sign. The belly flares towards the edge. The interior is also decorated in blue tones with classic stripes and geometric patterns on the edge and a circle of different stripes and central pattern on the bottom. The same frieze adorns the foot of the cup. A stylized Shou character is represented on the bowl and on its foot. In the style of Emperor Qianlong porcelain. The porcelain work is very beautiful, the decoration is fine with its monochromy of blue. The cut is of a very nice size with an original and very elegant shape. XXth - China The character shòu is a Chinese character representing longevity. It is one of the most important symbols in Chinese superstitious traditions along with fu (福, fú, happiness and good fortune) and lu (禄, lù), prosperity and professional success. The three characters are associated in what is called Fu Lu Shou, also corresponding to three deities of Chinese popular religions. The production of Blue and White really began in China during the Yuan Dynasty. Indeed, scholars and senior officials of the Song dynasty previously preferred the beauty of the simplicity of monochromes, closer to the spirit of Confucianism. But in the 13th century, the Chinese already had knowledge of Kaolin and mastery of kilns: they were thus able to exercise the mastery of their art in the manufacture of superb “Blue and White” pieces.
