Large vase depicting Chairman Mao the radiating portrait emphasising Mao as the sun" the triple sunflower motif around the shoulder represent the three loyalties to Mao his thoughts and the proletarian revolutionary line the red bandana berries on the neck are an immediate and everlasting visual code of allegiance to Mao`s thought the reverse of the vase inscribed with Mao`s poem `The Double Ninth` and further inscribed "Wish Mao a Long Life" porcelain 655mm. high marked and dated Jiangxi Company of Ceramic Industry 1968. ***The particularly remarkable aspect of this vase is that Mao`s image is painted in under-glaze blue a high-risk process often resulting in kiln-failure. In choosing to decorate the vase in this way the maker took an even greater risk of being declared a counter-revolutionary had Mao`s image been marred in any way. The poem on the reverse translates as: Man ages all too easily not nature; Year by year the Double Ninth returns. On this Double Ninth The yellow blooms of the battlefield smell sweeter Each year the autumn wind blows strongly It is not spring`s splendour Yet surpasses spring`s splendour The frosty sky and river stretches before the eyes ten thousand miles. This ci poem was written by Mao in October 1929 to commemorate the victory of one of his early guerilla wars at that time. The Double Ninth (Chongyang) refers t othe Chinese autumn festival on the ninth day of the ninth month according to the Chinese calendar. The poem was first published in the prime literary journal Renmin Wenxue " in 1962.
