Below a band of gear wheel-like patterns around the shoulders, the exterior of this jar is primarily decorated with plum blossom on an ice crackle background design (bing mei wen). This design, characteristic of the Kangxi reign of the Qing dynasty, is usually formed with white plum blossoms reserved on an ice crackle background painted in different shades of ungerglaze blue, as manifested on this vessel. Such a design evokes the dazzling plum blossoms of deep winter and often adorns covered jars used for storing new tea in the New Year. The bottom of the jar and footring, as well as the interior are white glazed. The mouthrim, the exterior of the neck and the bottom rim of the footring are unglazed, exposing the buff body. This covered jar bears much resemblance to a dated Kangxi blue-and-white covered jar with a reserved auspicious animal panel over a background of plum blossom on an ice crackle back ground (p.47 cat.40, from Geng Baocang's book Gugongbowuyuan cang wenwu zhenpin quanji: Qing hua you li hong (xia) &lt; Complete rare works from the Palace Museum, Beijing: underglaze blue and red decorations, vol.3&gt; &lt; Hong Kong: shangwu yinshuguan, 2000&gt; ). However, the underglaze blue on it is not as bright and multi-layered as that on the Kangxi vessel. No typical Kangxi 'fingerprint mark' (zhi yin wen) can be observed through the underglaze blue, either. There are defects within the glaze when taking a close view. Therefore, this piece may have been made during a recent period, approximately from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century. Nevertheless, it displays a high grade of workmanship."},{"label":"Title","value":"Blue and white covered jar with plum blossoms"},{"label":"Rights","value":"Materials available through GettDigital encompass a wide range of works, many of which are in the public domain.
