A BLUE AND WHITE JAR
Kangxi The squat ovoid body supported on a short foot and rising to a rounded shoulder and upright neck, painted with two figurative panels each divided by a floral spray, beneath a border of crosses below the rim, the panels depicting an attendant entering a room from a garden veranda to greet a scholar, wood stand. 21.5cm (8 1/2in) wide. (2).
清康熙 青花罐
On one of the two panels the attendant is presenting an archaic jue vessel to the official, a word which refers to rank or nobility, as well as to the ritual vessel, thereby recalling the Chinese idiom jiaguan jinjue 加官進爵 (promotion to higher rank or nobility). It is highly possible that the vessel was produced as a gift to a young scholar or official to wish them well in their studies.
