About this work

Baluster-shaped lidded vase of porcelain with a slightly spreading neck, painted in underglaze blue and on the glaze red, green, yellow, aubergine and black. On the wall a dignitary on a terrace in front of a pavilion in a landscape with plants, a banana plant, rocks and mountains. Behind him a servant with a fan; a second and third servant carry wrapped objects (a book? a lute?). On the neck flowering peonies near a rock. The underside is unglazed. Transitional porcelain with enamel colours.
