About the Item

This exceptional pair of Chinese porcelain jars were made circa 1700 in the reign of Emperor Kangxi. The jars are magnificent on display. They catch your eye from across the room and won't let go. They are hand-painted in exquisite cobalt blue. Leafy peony scrolls seem to float over the surface of the baluster-shaped jars. The covers are similarly decorated, have a flared rim, and are surmounted by a rounded finial. The neck of each jar is decorated with traditional plantain leaves. The vivid design continues an ancient Chinese tradition of decorating porcelain with peonies and scrolling leaves. Peonies symbolize female beauty, royalty, wealth, and honor in Chinese tradition and have long been adored for their bold size and beautiful colors. Dimensions: 15.5" tall x 8.5" at the widest point Condition: Excellent, with small edge chips along the top of the collars invisibly restored. Price: $17,800 The jars are characteristic of the outstanding blue and white ceramics manufactured during the reign of the Kangxi Emperor. According to Sir Harry Garner, author of Oriental Blue and White, "The Kangxi blue and white reached a technical excellence that has never been surpassed. The porcelain pure white and of fine texture is covered with a glaze of slightly blueish tint..." Background of Chinese Blue and White Porcelain: Since its creation in China in the 14th century, Chinese and overseas collectors have admired and appreciated blue and white porcelain. Popularized during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) blue and white porcelain has since become an icon of Chinese culture. The blue pigment is derived from cobalt, which is painted on a white clay called kaolin then the decorated porcelain is fired in a kiln, which causes the cobalt to be transformed into a blue pigment and the kaolin to form the body of the porcelain.
