porcelain. They were not meant for children's play, but rather a counterpart to the

明十六世紀 松石綠地琺華人物故事圖紋梅瓶

On fahua-decorated ceramics, thin, raised slip lines are used to outline areas of the

decoration. Once fired, enamels are applied and the raised slip lines inhibit

different coloured enamels from flowing into each other. This style on stoneware or

porcelain resembles cloisonné metalwork. It is unusual to have turquoise enamel as

the prominent colour, as deep blue is often favoured.

漢 綠釉獸足博山爐

Cf. Jars like the present lot are a very well known form of Han Dynasty tomb pottery;

they often represent either Mount Bo or Mount Kunlun, which are two well known

Daoist mountains. From the bears on the legs, chosen for their protective powers, to

the Animals of the Four Directions strategically placed in the undulating peaks of

the mountains, the decoration on such jars is typically ripe with auspicious symbols,

and evokes the journey of the deceased to the immortal realms.

Sometimes catalogued as incense burners, vessels of this type are found in most

major museum collections in the world; an example in the British Museum, museum

no. 1909,0512.29; one in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, no.13.100.13a, b; and
