About this work

Bottle-shaped porcelain vase with a globular body and slightly flaring neck, painted in underglaze blue. On the body 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 towards two seated people. In the background a house. On the neck a continuous landscape with a seated person and two standing people, one with a banner and the other with a kind of vase. A mark on the underside. Arita, blue and white.
