Description
Dimensions: Width: 37 cm, Height: 32.5 cm
Chinese Ming Dynasty Blue and White Porcelain Jar. Potted with a shallow body, slight deep, flaring round rim, globular heavy on mid body, raised on ring foot base. Hand painted ornamentations are rendered in white base color which contrast against blue color depicted of flying crane through flower bloom foliage and scrolling interlocking tendril. The crane symbolizes longevity as well as wisdom. An embroidery of a crane formed part of the regalia of the top rank of Imperial officials, so can symbolize the wish for promotion to a high official position. A crane is often portrayed with a tortoise longevity or a deer longevity and riches. The underside unglazed, revealed the pale-creme ground revealed and dark grayfish brown spotted firing marks and edge-cut foot rim.
