EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the beauty and intricacy of a blue and white shallow bowl from the Shunzhi Period in China's Qing Dynasty. The ceramic bowl, measuring 16.5 cm in diameter, is adorned with a captivating scene from the Romance of the Western Chamber. Known as 'Beauty's Enchantment', this scene depicts Zhang catching sight of Yingying for the first time, evoking a sense of hope and anticipation. The craftsmanship on display is truly remarkable, with delicate details and exquisite brushwork bringing the narrative to life. A two-character inscription reading "ji feng" (meaning 'Hope for [an] encounter') can be seen to the right of a tree branch within the scene. On its reverse side, this shallow bowl features sparsely decorated river scenery, while an apocryphal Jiajing mark adorns its base. The combination of these elements creates a harmonious composition that showcases both artistic skill and cultural significance. Presented without any people or distractions, this image allows us to focus solely on appreciating the artistry and historical value of this Chinese ceramic masterpiece. It serves as a testament to centuries-old traditions in porcelain production and exemplifies why such objects are treasured works of art worldwide.
