IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 16494 accession number: C.7 & A-1920 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Thursday 11 August 2016 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Box and cover with peonies and bats. Porcelain, thrown, painted in cobalt-blue and glazed. This piece resembles a deep bowl (sabal) with a cover shaped like a dish (chopsi). The broad base has a deep footring. The body is thick and heavy. On the top of the cover is a slightly recessed medallion in which the character su ('long life') is inscribed in ornamental form; around it are bats in flight among flowering peony sprays. The sides of the bowl are similarly painted with two sprays of flowering peony, all in underglaze cobalt-blue. The cobalt colour harmonises well with the pale bluish-white glaze. The rims of both cover and bowl and the footring were wiped free of glaze and the piece was supported on fine sandy fire-clay spurs. title: box NOTES ----- type: history note value: unknown before donor LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Applied Arts creditline: Given by Dr W.M.
