DESCRIPTION
Figure. China, early 20th century.
"Group of characters in boat".
White enameled porcelain white China style.
Measurements: 22 x 22 x 6 cm.
White porcelain sculpture representing a festive and musical scene arranged on a boat with undulating forms. The group is composed by several figures, among them infantile and juvenile personages, some playing musical instruments and others participating of the scene in relaxed and contemplative attitudes. The boat, richly modeled, shows fluid details that evoke the movement of water, while the elevated and stylized prow brings verticality and dynamism to the composition. The whole conveys a sense of harmony, celebration and narrative refinement.
The piece belongs to the tradition of white monochrome porcelains known as Dehua or "Chinese white", produced mainly in Fujian province. This type of porcelain, with its characteristic ivory tone and smooth, satin texture, was highly appreciated both in China and in the European market, where it became widely known as blanc de Chine.
