PROVENANCE



French private collection since 1930, confirmed by an inventory by Portier dated March 1, 1976.



Note



The theme of children playing, a particularly popular iconography and frequent on many decorative objects, refers to that of the "Hundred Children", symbol of fertility, prosperity and happiness. Confucianism, which governed many aspects of daily life, considered it important to have many children, especially sons, in order to fulfil the obligations of filial piety and towards the ancestors. In Taoist philosophy, the child symbolizes the innocence of the wise.



This model of bowl is inspired by prototypes from the Kangxi period.
