Its exterior is decorated with three registers of designs on a white glazed background. The first register on top, framed by two painted gold 'bowstring' circles, is a band of double lozenge patterns in underglaze blue. The following and main register represents painted gold ling long* (piercing and filling) mi hua (rice grain patterns) decoration, alternated with seemingly sun-like ling long icons outlined in red on a white background. The third register on the bottom depicts three za bao* (miscellaneous treasures) in underglaze blue, two of which are a pile of books and an umbrella. The interior of the bowl is primarily adorned with two registers of the underglaze blue decorations. Both registers denote auspicious meanings. On top are four bats alternated with three patterns in underglaze blue. The inside bottom is adorned with the wu fu peng shou (five blessings and longevity) design which is represented by a big circular painted gold 'shou' character in seal script surrounded by five bats in underglaze blue. These two designs are based on a pun in Chinese because the characters for bat and for blessing are both pronounced 'fu'. According to the chapter \"Hong Fan\" in Shang Shu, the five blessings are a long life, wealth, health, love of virtue and a natural death. Two 'swastika' characters in red and four painted gold Chinese characters jiang xi chu pin (Made in Jiangxi) in semi-cursive script are inscribed in the outer circle of the inside bottom. 'Swastika' is used as a pun for the word wan or 'ten thousand.' Here the two swastika characters may have been intended to multiply the blessings manifested by the wu fu peng shou design. On the base of the white glazed footring there is an inscribed reign mark of \"kang xi nian zhi\" (Made during the Kangxi Reign) in underglaze blue, running script and two columns. The dated Kangxi reign mark usually consists of six characters \"da qing kang xi nian zhi\" (Made during the Kangxi Reign of the Great Qing). The four-character Kangxi reign mark frequently appears on later copies. A red stamp \"CHINA\" is next to the reign mark. As requested by the United States Law (U.S. Stamp Act of 1892), any exported wares to the United States from 1891 were required to be marked with \"CHINA\". It is evident that this is an object specially designed for foreign trade. Therefore, this bowl is obviously a recent copy of the similar products made during the Kangxi period (1662-1722). * This term refers to a decorative technique whereby a body is pierced with an openwork design and then glazed in such a way that the openings are filled with the glaze. Works which show rice-like dots under the light are variously known as rice grain pattern (mi hua), rice openwork (mi tong), eye-like openwork (ling long yan), or sesame seed leak (zhi ma lou). The earliest products with this decoration were made in the Hongzhou kilns around the Luohu, Fengcheng, Jiangxi province, during the Sui and Tag dynasties. In the Yongle reign of the Ming, extremely fine porcelain with the ling long decorations were produced in the imperial kilns. After the Qianlong reign of the Qing, both the imperial and folk kilns manufactured such wares. * Items of 'miscellaneous treasures' appear on porcelains as supplementary decorative elements. Within the stylized lotus-petal design on the shoulders or around the foot of the Yuan blue-and-white ware are painted various 'treasures' such as a pair of horns, silver ingots, rhinoceros horn, flaming pearl, flame, coral, Buddhist conch, flaming wheel, a pair of case coins, etc. Since they appear irregularly and some of them repeatedly, they are called \"miscellaneous treasure.\" On the Ming wares, they are placed between the main designs and more objects are added to the category, such as an auspicious cloud, ling zhi fungus, scrolls of painting or calligraphy, ding tripods, yuan bao ingots, qing chime stone, double lozenges, mugwort (wormwood) and plantain leaves, etc."},{"label":"Title","value":"Blue and white bowl with painted gold ling long"},{"label":"Rights","value":"Materials available through GettDigital encompass a wide range of works, many of which are in the public domain.
