A fine,large and very rare eight sided documentary vase (with fitted wood stand) - decorated in Chinese scholar's taste and bearing two poems. The first, small poem on the neck of the vase, describes the under glaze blue painted picture on the reverse side. Roughly translated - "Fisherman looks across riverbank - there are Huang Yang trees. There are three roads leading home and he carries a 'dan' (two baskets with carrying yoke). He is wearing a raincoat and hat and it is raining - he sees a farmer riding a buffalo. Cold brush and ink stone can make good article." The longer poem, inscribed in eight lines and written in sixteen seven character sentences, is the Fisherman's narrative story and can be translated as follows - "He walks through the trees - returning home at noon. Children are laughing outside the door. He is asked why he has finished fishing so early? He watches a bird catch a crab on the edge of a sand bank. He removes his brown clothes and goes to get some fire wood. White clouds are over the ground and the colour matches his shoes. His wife tells him to be careful when carrying the dan. 'Don't go to the high places or dangerous cliffs'. Farming is hard work - busy by day busy by night. He asks how much food (grain) is left in store. Old lady (his wife) smiles and points to the foot of the mountain. The wheat is green and the barley is yellow (they have enough food). The child,with his hair in the shape of a bun, is sleeping on the ground. Light rain (like mist) gives the fields the appearance of being covered with smoke. When he awakes he doesn't see his son - who is studying. He travels long distances through beautiful places - flowing river and falling flower petals - looking for him." This item was made in the Jingdezhen kilns, Jiangxi province south China, probably during the fist half of the 19th Century circa 1800 - 1850. Condition - there are two chips to the rim (one large and one small) and there is one chip to the shoulder There are no cracks and there has been no restoration. Height - 43cm (17 inches).
