Two Blue And White Monkey And Deer Porcelain Saucers - China Late Ming Dynasty
A pair of porcelain saucers with blue and white decoration of a deer, a monkey and a bird in flight near a pine tree.
China, Late Ming dynasty
Wanli/Tianqi period (1573-1627)
Although this decoration exist under the Wanli and Tianqi periods, particularly for the Japanese export (Ko-Sometsuke), these small dishes could possibly be from the Jiajing period, as the dots in the blue decoration are more indicative of the painting style of the period. They are more commonly seen without this unusual border.
Diameter: 16cm (right) / 16.1cm (left)
For a similar set in the centre but without the border decoration, see :
- Christies, The Peony Pavillion Collection, 12 June 1989, lot 294
Both saucers have chips, small splinters and areas of sintering.
The one on the right, chips, frits, and two short translucent hairlines.
The one on the left also has a single hairline.
