Provenance: Private collection, West Dorset. Porcelain-inlaid calligraphic panels are very rare, making the present lot an exciting discovery. It has been suggested that the technique was first used by the renowned kiln supervisor Tang Ying (1682-1756) owing to several extant examples bearing his signature. It seems likely that this tablescreen is near contemporary with Tang Ying's period of operation. For a discussion of the subject, see Huang Qing-Hua, 'The Forgotten, Excellent Tang Kilns: A first look into the couplets and hanging panels for Tang Ying porcelains', The National Palace Museum Monthly of Chinese Art, no.363, June 2013, pp.110-119.
