The practice was similar to that in Europe, where family coats of arms were painted on tableware, except that most Chinese inscriptions are to be found on the base of the vessels.","physicalDescription":"The bowl is decorated in overglaze famille verte enamels of green, red, yellow, aubergine, blue and black colours, enhanced with gilding.  The outside is painted with four rectangular panels each enclosing a horse.  Between the panels are lotuses and shou characters.  Below the rim are a hare, leopard, deer and dog, each within a cartouche separated by four-lobed flowerheads.  A band of ruyi heads encircles the foot.  A stylised leafy lotus is painted in the well on the inside.  The mark Luyi Tang (Hall of Green Waves) is written within a double circle in underglaze blue on the base.\r\n\r\nLu is a herb, but here is borrowed  to mean 'green'.  Yi means 'gentle wave'.  A total of eighteen Qing scholars used luyi either as style or studio name.  However, both the character lu and yi can be written in two different ways, making it impossible to trace the owner of this bowl.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"porcelain","id":"AAT10662"}],"techniques":[{"text":"painted","id":"AAT54216"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Porcelain, painted in coloured enamels","categories":[{"text":"Food vessels & Tableware","id":"THES48952"},{"text":"Ceramics","id":"THES48982"},{"text":"Porcelain","id":"THES48907"}],"styles":[{"text":"Kangxi","id":"AAT18482"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"EAS","id":"THES48596"},"images":["2010EB9007","2006AW1235","2006AW1233","2017KB7583"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"137 (VA)","id":"THES49876"},"free":"","case":"9","shelf":"5","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"BOWL","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Jingdezhen","id":"x32230"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1700-1722","earliest":"1695-01-01","latest":"1722-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Salting Bequest","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"10.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Diameter","value":"20.1","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"The mark Luyi Tang (Hall of Green Waves) is written within a double circle in underglaze blue on the base.","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":""}],"objectHistory":"Bequeathed by Mr. George Salting, accessioned in 1910.
