Antique 17c Ming period Kosometsuke Chinese Porcelain Dish Boy on Ox
In stock
Condition Report: 3 spots with missing pieces, fritting and 4 small lines. Size 14.3x2CM DiameterxHeight
A very nice small dish from the Late ming period, Tianqi or Chongzhen. With a Boy riding an ox and playing the flute.
Ox herdboys riding oxen have been used as a motif in painting and graphic arts to symbolize the ability of the mind to control the body. That is, philosophically, symbolizing the ability of intellectual will to rule bodily strength and its physical urges.
It had a rough life obviously but still a very nice reference piece.
We have a similar piece from the same period in our personal collection;
1048 A Chinese porcelain Ming Ko Akae dish with Ox Boy playing flute
