other
36.8 cm (14.5 in)
A private collection, London, since the 1950s and thence by descent
The moon flask is exquisitely painted in delicate tones of cobalt blue on one side depicting two Oriental magpie-robins facing each other on a flowering prunus tree, one perched on a higher branch looking down towards its companion on a lower branch, amidst budding and blossoming prunus flowers, with stalks of bamboo emerging from the bottom of the tree; the other side painted in a similar composition with two bulbuls perched in counterpose on an apricot tree accompanied by bamboo, one bird turning its head backwards to face its companion on the right. The shoulder and foot of the flask are decorated with bands of leafy-scroll motifs, the neck painted on each side with a single bamboo stem, and the arched handles adorned with lingzhi-scrolls. The elliptical base is inscribed with the reign mark in seal script.
