The panel is decorated in shades of white, blue, yellow and green
enamels against a turquoise ground, depicting a landscape scene
with scholars in a terraced pavilion, elaborately constructed with
a tiered roof, with an attendant nearby holding a qin. In the near-
distance depicts a palace roof nestled amongst ornamental rocks,
wutong, willow and pine trees, all within a border of stylised scrolls.
23º in. (59 cm.) long
PROVENANCE
A French private collection, formed in the 1950s

A very similar panel, decorated with scenes of landscape and framed
with the same formal scrolls at the borders, dated to the 16th century
was sold at Christie’s Hong Kong, 30 May 2005, lot 1392.
Compare the similarity of the ruyi-heads illustrating the terrestrial
ground on the present panel with those decorated on other 16th century
cloisonné vessels, such as a globular hu-shaped vase and a large dish
illustrated in Chinese Cloisonné: The Pierre Uldry Collection, 1989, nos.
118 and 121 respectively.
