A PAIR OF FAMILLE ROSE TEN-THOUSANDS BOYS TRUMPET-SHAPED PORCELAIN VASES, YENYEN
China, Qing Dynasty, Likely Guangxu period
Thickly potted and richly adorned in the famille rose palette with a pinkish covering ground with numerous double gourds and tendrils, two calabash-shaped reserved medallions on each vase adorned with immortals and playing boys. Various inscriptions such as Ming Cheng Zi Jia à à ìµêà à ¡à µòà .
H: 41,5 cm

Note:

This pair of vases adorned with several boys and numerous gourds and tendrils conveys a wish of fertility and many sons and grandsons. Indeed, trailing gourd vines are described in Chinese as man (à öô) and this character can also be pronounced as wan and has the exact same pronunciation and meaning as õ©ç which means 10,000. Additionally, because the gourd contains many seeds, the Chinese associate the gourd with "10,000 children".
