Petite Blue and White Chinese Pear Vase

About the Item

Contrasted by a crisp white field, this small porcelain vase is decorated in the timeless blue-and-white style with bold brushwork and deep cobalt-blue color. The gracefully curved form is a traditional vase shape known as a yuhuchunping or pear-shaped vase and is defined by a rounded body, narrow neck, and flared mouth originally used for pouring wine. The painted decoration on this example depicts a lively scene of young children playing in a courtyard garden. Young boys are seen boisterously playing various musical instruments like drums, cymbals and horns. A popular theme in Chinese decorative arts, this playful scene conveys a wish for a large family with many successful sons.
