county, Jiangxi province, which was frst immortalized by the Tang dynasty
poet Wang Bo (AD 649-676). The pavilion and its surrounding scenery were
included in a canon of Ten Views of Jiangxi, celebrated on sets of porcelain in
the Jiaqing period: see, for example, a set of ten bowls illustrated by R. Krahl
in Chinese Ceramics from the Meiyintang Collection, Vol. Four (II), London,
2010, nos. 1762-71. The present bowl is inspired by both the Jiaqing period
bowls and the poetry of Wang Bo.
