COLLECTOR’S NOTE

Precious object motifs on Qing porcelain symbolized scholarship, authority, prosperity, and good fortune. The ruyi scepter in particular represented power and the granting of wishes, making it a favored decorative element in Daoist and scholarly imagery. Blue and white export wares of this period remain highly collectible for their refined painting and symbolic themes.
