A FINE SUPERB BLUE AND WHITE ‘BOYS’ JAR
JIAJING SIX-CHARACTER MARK IN UNDERGLAZE BLUE AND OF THE PERIOD (1522-1566)
The large strongly potted jar is finely painted with vibrant cobalt blue, on the shoulder with ogival panels containing fruit and flower sprays reserved against a background of wan lattice, the sides of the jar with a scene of boys playing in a terrraced garden beneath trees and clouds pretending to be adults, one seated in front of a landscape screen like an official with another at his side seated at a table with an open book, while a third kneels in front of them, other children pulling toy carts, holding lotus leaf parasols and playing other games. The foot is decorated with overlapping petals.
15 5/8 in. (40.2 cm) high, box
