A BLUE AND WHITE 'DAOIST IMMORTALS' JAR
JIAJING PERIOD (1522-1566)
The sides are decorated with a broad band of the Eight Daoist Immortals holding their attributes standing on froth-capped, rolling waves, the figures framed by clouds that partially obscure mountains in the distance, all between a petal-lappet border below and a diaper band surrounding four bird and flower cartouches on the shoulder. The waisted neck is encircled by four flower cartouches on a fish scale band.
13 in. (33 cm.) high, lacquered Japanese wood box, Meiji-Taisho period (1868-1926)
