The pot shown here is a porcelain pot. The color of the glaze is a charmingly soft and warm yellow. The image frames were not glazed and painted with a very fine brush in monochrome brown-red color. The images and the upper rim are framed with a golden glaze, which was fired to ca. 800°C - a soft firing, which is the reason why the color is almost worn out at the rim.
The image shows people embedded into nature, almost fusing with it - symbols of the Chinese's reverence for nature. The images are only 6 cm in diameter! The painters did their work with a great sureness, spontaneously and powerful.
