Porcelain dish decorated in overglaze enamels and gilding with a 'gallant' scene, China, Qing dynasty, ca. 1750

“This dish, produced in Jingdezhen in southern China and decorated in Canton, belongs to a group of Chinese export wares characterised by erotic or 'gallant' subjects. The particular scene on this example shows a reclining naked woman being viewed by a voyeur or 'peeping Tom' dressed as Harlequin. Erotic subjects were part of the Chinese tradition, but this theme can only be found on porcelain exported to Europe.”

This pair of mould-made porcelain lion-dogs or ‘dogs of fo’ are shown standing on leaves with their mouths open and tails erect. The lioness is painted green with an aubergine mane and a yellow cub climbing her right leg. The lion is yellow with a green mane and moveable green brocade ball beneath his left paw; his eyes wobble on stalks. At the back are tubes for incense sticks. These were made as curiosities for a scholar’s desk to perfume the room but were very popular in Europe in the 18th century.

Bottle with Peony Scroll, mid-14th century

Yuan dynasty (1271–1368), China

Porcelain painted with cobalt blue under a transparent glaze (Jingdezhen ware)

H. 17 1/2 in. (44.5 cm)

The structured surface of this bottle ultimately derives from the Islamic cultures of West Asia. The designs painted on the surface of the bottle also illustrate the complicated ties between China and other regions in the fourteenth century: the patterns on the neck parallel the cloud-collar designs often found in textiles and clothing in China and the Islamic world; the scrolling peonies that decorate the center of the bottle derive from longstanding Chinese traditions; and the stylized lotus petals on the base allude to imagery found in Indo-Himalayan art. Collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Porcelain rouleau vase with powder-blue glaze and gilded decoration, Jingdezhen, China, Qing dynasty; ca. 1700.

“This type of glaze was called chuiqing or 'blown blue' in China, and known as bleu soufflé or fouetté in Europe. The powdered cobalt was blown through a bamboo cane that had a fine gauze at one of the extremities.

Objects with powdered blue glaze were produced since the late 17th century, and by the early 18th century fine gilded decorations of flowers, landscapes and symbolic motifs were added on the surface. They were particularly favoured in the Middle East but also widely exported in Europe.”
