AN EXTREMELY RARE BLUE AND WHITE 'THREE FRIENDS' JAR, GUAN
AN EXTREMELY RARE BLUE AND WHITE 'THREE FRIENDS' JAR, GUAN YUAN DYNASTY, MID-14TH CENTURY The slightly compressed globular body exquisitely painted in finely executed brushstrokes to depict a continuous landscape scene detailed with a galloping deer, its head gracefully turned toward one side as if to observe a spray of lingzhi fungus growing from jagged rocks, beside bamboo sprays and a pair of entwined pine trees, the scene is subtly partitioned by a small waterfall flowing between columnar rocks, further detailed with a prunus tree growing blossoms on branches, on which is perched a magpie in a lively pose with one claw raised as if to take flight to an aged pine tree in the near distance, the shoulder decorated with a band of lotus lappets each enclosing a 'Precious Object', the neck with a boldly drawn border of breaking waves and the foot with a ring of twelve lotus petal panels enclosing pendent trefoils and circles 9 in. (22.9 cm.) high, box
