Description
Description part summary
A beaker of trumpet shape form with grasses and magpie on branches extending down from the rim and two in flight in underglaze blue. The piece is extensively clobbered with polychrome enamels of yellow, green, aubergine and rouge de fer. The interior side of the rim has formal decoration of squiggles in underglaze blue. The piece dates to the early Kangxi period (1662-1677) but the clobbering appears likely to have been done later, possibly even in Europe. The base has a Chenghua mark in kaishu script within a single lined circle in underglaze blue.
