About the Item

The ceramic portrays a tranquil scene set against a backdrop typical of the Shan Shui tradition, which emphasizes the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature. In the center of the composition, a figure stands upright on a raised platform amidst the branches of a tree, actively engaged in the process of handing down leaves to another figure below. This could be a depiction of a simple act of cooperation or assistance between individuals, a common motif in Chinese art that underscores the values of communal support and unity. Period : Qing Dynasty, Yongzheng Era Production Date : C 1725 Made in : Jingdezhen Destination : Netherland Found/Acquired : Southeast Asia , South China Sea, Ca Mau ship Reference : Double checked with reference to the original catalogues 1) Tau Co Ca Mau(The Ca Mau Shipwreck) Catalogue 2002 / The National Museum of Vietnamese History 2) THE CA MAU SHIPWRECK PORCELAIN : from the Collection of Dr.Zelnik , 2000 3) Sotheby’s Amsterdam, 2007 : Made In Imperial China / Sotheby's 4) Asian Ceramic Found along Maritime Silk Route / National Maritime Museum of Korea * 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’.

Blue and White Saucer, Qing Dynasty, Kangxi Era, Circa 1690
Located in seoul, KR
It features a complex design with a central circular motif surrounded by eight petal-like sections, each intricately adorned with various botanical and geometric patterns, creating a symmetrical arrangement. 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.
