明晚期 景德鎮窯青花鹿馬山水富士山型盤|Dish in Shape of Mount Fuji with Horses and Deer
Unknown
ca. 1625 · Porcelain painted with cobalt blue under transparent glaze (Jingdezhen ware) · Asian Art
The shape of the dish, which alludes to the famed Mount Fuji, indicates that it was commissioned by a Japanese patron, most likely for a meal that accompanied the tea ceremony. The inscription, which discusses roaming with deer and horses in a landscape, is an allusion to a similar phrase in the writings of the Chinese philosopher Mencius (ca. 327–289 B.C.).
