It must have come from Dr. Chao-Ming Chen. It says, \"Fine porcelain body molded into a quadrangular bowl, which form was really derived from that of a Ming wine bowl for official use. The body is decorated in the design of sacred lotuses in full bloom, meaning \"blessing.\" The interior and the base are covered with turquoise blue enamel, which blue is usually seen in China Ch'ing wares, leaving the base uncovered. In the center of the bottom are six Chinese characters reading \"Ta Ch'ing Tao Kuang Nien Chih,\" meaning \"Made during the reigning years of the Emperor Tao Kuang of the great Ch'ing Dynasty.\" the stand is carved from the root of a hardwood tree in the design of prunus flowers in full bloom (meaning \"prominence\".) A rare and unique specimen.\" A note from Dr. Kramer's folder \"Oriental Art-Inventory, n. d. (copy 1)\" (in Kramer's Box 4, file 17), refers to this item as \"China, A blue and white (and gold) quadrangular porcelain bowl and wood stand. Tao Kuang Period. Price $75. Bought of Dr. Chen, Baltimore, Maryland. This is the finest piece of Tao Kuang Period Porcelain I have seen. Dr. Chen agreed. I was really surprised to find such a good piece from this period, when things had gone down considerably.\""},{"label":"Part of","value":["Asian Art GettDigital Collection"]},{"label":"Provenance","value":"The Estate of Prof. Frank Kramer"},{"label":"Genre","value":["Artifacts"]},{"label":"Object Location","value":"C.27"},{"label":"Date","value":"D:00 M:00 Y:1821 - D:00 M:00 Y:1850"},{"label":"Date Original","value":"Early-mid-19th century CE (1821-1850 CE)"},{"label":"Era","value":["Daoguang reign","Qing dynasty"]},{"label":"Measurement","value":"Height: 6.35 cm; Length: 14.6 cm"},{"label":"Medium","value":["Porcelain, blue and white, gilt, wood","Porcelain"]},{"label":"Country of Origin","value":["China"]},{"label":"Description","value":"This is a small blue-and-white container with a flaring mouth, a trapezoid body tapering to the bottom, and a sunken base. Each side of the exterior is decorated with three gilt lotus scrolls in underglaze blue. Some of the gilding has flaked off. The lotus is a symbol of purity and integrity. It is also one of the eight precious Buddhist things. The lotus comes out of the mud but remains itself unstained. It is inwardly empty yet outwardly upright. It has no branches (no family/offspring) yet smells sweet. Both the interior and the bottom of the base are glazed in light green. On the bottom of the base there is a red reign mark \"da qing Daoguang nian zhi\" (Made during the Daoguang Reign of the Great Qing) in seal script and three columns. Accordingly, this piece was probably made at that time."},{"label":"Title","value":"Small blue-and-white trapezoid container"},{"label":"Rights","value":"Materials available through GettDigital encompass a wide range of works, many of which are in the public domain.
