Summary

Description
English: Percival David Collection, Room 95 , British Museum, PDF 797, British Museum page, "Doucai jar with camellias and rocks

The pattern on this ovoid jar is extremely rare. It is decorated with a repeated design of three stylised rocks in aubergine, green, and yellow enamel respectively, each flanked by camellias using shades of red, yellow and combined red and yellow to make orange with butterflies in between, and a ground of blue washes. Originally this jar would have had a cover. Jingdezhen potters made copies of this pattern in the Yongzheng period (AD 1723–35) of the Qing dynasty.
