This Chinese blue and white porcelain garden seat is hand-painted with white prunus blossoms against a deep cobalt ground.
The form is balanced and clearly defined, with pierced sides and raised bosses set in even bands.
The cobalt ground is dense and consistent, giving strong contrast to the white blossom decoration.
The hand-painted prunus design shows natural variation in line and spacing.
The repeated bosses and pierced openings create a steady rhythm across the surface.
The pierced openings take the form of traditional coin motifs associated with prosperity.
At 17 inches tall, the scale is practical, working easily as a garden seat or side table.
