Of quadrilobed form with swelling shoulders and a petite upright neck, painted in deep cobalt blue with four Daoist immortals: Li Tieguai with his iron crutch and gourd vessel, Liu Hai with his three-legged toad, and the Hehe twins Hanshan and Shide, one of whom is holding up a scroll with a smile on his face, all amid pine trees and rockwork, below a scrolling cloud border at the shoulder and ruyi clouds on the neck. The base with an underglaze-blue six-character mark da Ming Jiajing nianzhi and of the period.

Provenance: Solveig & Anita Gray, London, United Kingdom, 1998. The Elaine Whewell collection of Asian ceramics, North Berwick, Scotland, assembled since the 1990s, acquired from the above.

Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age, with expected old wear and firing irregularities. Two very short hairlines to the rim. A small star-shaped glaze line to the interior, which is not visible on the outside. The rim and foot may have been minimally smoothened.

Weight: 416.1 g
Dimensions: Height 11.9 cm



Li Tieguai aka ‘Iron Crutch Li’ appears as a lame beggar supported by an iron crutch. He carries a gourd which holds medicine that cures the sick and ailing. Traditionally, he has been seen as the protector of physicians. Although he may appear ugly and is generally considered irascible and ill-tempered, according to Chinese mythology, he was benevolent to the poor, sick, and needy. Li had magical powers and spent much time outside his body, traveling in the celestial regions. Once, when he was absent for some time, his disciple buried his body. On returning to Earth, the immortal’s soul entered the body of a beggar – the first good person he saw.

Liu Hai is usually depicted as a young man with bangs, and his eponym means ‘bangs’ or ‘fringe’ in Modern Standard Chinese. Traditional Chinese and Japanese art frequently represents Liu with a string of square-holed cash coins and a mythical three-legged toad (chanchu), which is said to exist only on the moon, which it swallows during the eclipse. In the present day, this toad is known as the Jin Chan, literally meaning ‘Money Toad’, and Liu Hai is considered an embodiment of Caishen, the God of Wealth.
