Blue and white oviform porcelain jar, Chinese, 18th Century, unknown maker This beautifully refined blue and white oviform porcelain jar is Chinese, dating to the 18th century, the maker unknown. The delicate vibrancy of the painted scene, depicting fishermen in a river landscape with a boat, and the sheer technical virtuosity of the piece, encapsulates the popularity of this type of ware throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. Bought by Linley Sambourne, the jar sits in the north window bay of the Drawing Room at Sambourne House.
