A fine blue and white Tea Bowl, Shunzhi/early Kangxi, c.1660, of conical form carefully painted in underglaze blue with a scene from The Romance of the Western Wing depicting the young scholar Zang Gong approaching a pavilion across a bridge and later kneeling before the mother of his inamorata, Yingying, the scenes titled, two character mark rubi, 7.8cm. The scenes are entitled yi shae, difficult to translate but possibly `carnal pleasure`, and dong wu (a `hidden beautiful spot`). Ru bi is an uncommon mark (not in Davidson) and can mean `Quite a symbol of status`. One might speculate that this bowl was commissioned as a love token. For a full description of The Romance of the Western Wing on porcelain, see Shunzhi Porcelain, 2002, p.68-81.
A rare blanc de Chine Vase, Kangxi, late 17th century, the neck encircled by a fish/reptile, the glaze faintly grey-white, 11cm. The beast that one would expect coiling round a vase-a dragon or chihlong-is quite unlike the present beast. A chameleon has been suggested as the progenitor, but it is not native to China; the nearest likely source is the mudfish-capable of breathing both in water and air.
