About this work

Bottle-shaped porcelain vase with a globular belly and slightly flaring neck, painted in underglaze blue. On the belly a continuous landscape with groups of people among rocks, trees, and plants: two people under an umbrella, one pointing at something the other is looking at; three people, one with a walking stick; a standing person bending forward toward two seated people. In the background, a house. The neck features a continuous landscape with a seated person and two standing people, one holding a banner and the other a vase-like object. One foot on the underside. Arita, blue and white.
