NO 7, bowl
Collectie: Princessehof Leeuwarden
Nr. : NO 7
Bowl with rounded sides, turning inward, then flaring out, and bi disk footring. On the inside an apocryphal four-character mark of Yongle surrounded by a border of spindly flowers, a matching border below the rim. On the exterior, surrounded by characters in kaishu (standard) script, a scene of a group of figures on a boat: a standing man, representing the Song poet Su Dongpo, addressing two seated men beneath a canopy, a boatman steering and a woman at the back. On the bowl an abbreviated version of the Chi bi fu, the Ode to the Red Cliff, by the poet Su Shi (1037-1101) is to be read. It tells the story of the boating trip of Su Shi with guests over the Yangzi river in 1082. The men are at leisure, drinking wine, singing and playing the flute while the boat is drifting beneath the red cliffs on the water. The men engage in a philosophical discussion of the shortness of life and the changing and changeless traits of things. Bowls with this scene appear on two still-life paintings dated 1627 and 1638 by Jacques Linard, and a bowl with a Tianqi (1621-1627) mark. A similarly shaped Red Cliff bowl is in the Topkapi Saray, Istanbul and another in the British Museum. The second Ode to the Red Cliff by the same poet is also depicted on porcelain. Several contemporary bowls are known. Kangxi (1662-1722) examples are a brushholder in the Phoenix Art Museum, dated late 17th century and a bowl in the Jan Menze van Diepen collection in Slochteren dated c. 1700.
