(2)Qingbai ware, or 'green-white' porcelain, represents a major category of Chinese ceramic production during the Song and Yuan dynasties. It is characterized by a translucent glaze that imparts a restrained bluish-green tone. Manufacture was concentrated in Jiangxi province, most notably in Jingdezhen, and Qingbai constituted the earliest instance of porcelain produced on a truly large scale in China.The headdress of the present figure evokes the 'zhanchi futou', also known as 'wushamao', a distinctive form of headwear associated with court officials of the Ming dynasty. Characterized by a black cap with two lateral, wing-like extensions formed from thin, oval-shaped boards, this type of headdress constituted one of the most emblematic elements of official attire in imperial China. The 'futou' originated during the Tang and Song dynasties and gradually became codified as an integral component of the ceremonial dress of government officials. Its use was subject to strict sumptuary regulations. As recorded in the Collected Statutes of the Ming Dynasty, members of the general populace were forbidden to wear this headdress, except on specific ceremonial occasions, such as wedding celebrations or events involving members of the nobility or the official elite.Literature comparison:Compare a related porcelain figure of a gate guardian, Sui to Tang dynasty, 581-907, 64.5 cm high, in the Museum of the Institute of History and Philology, Academia Sinica, Taipei, reference number R023533.Auction result comparison:Type: RelatedAuction: Sotheby's Hong Kong, 26 August 2021, lot 1024Price: HKD 40,320 or approx.
