All sorts of shapes and colours emerged from the skilful hands of potters in Jingdezhen, the porcelain city in Jiangxi province. The predominant colour of this vase is green. This  inspired the French art historian Albert Jacquemart (1808-1875) to coin the term 'famille verte' (green family) to describe Chinese porcelain with such a colour scheme.","physicalDescription":"Vase of porcelain. Square with high shoulder and swelling mouth. Green ground, painted in two other shades of green, yellow and manganese-purple with the flowers of the Four Seasons. On the shoulder lotus scrolls.
